THE PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE OF COACH DI FRANCESCO

January 18, 2025

On the eve of the Day 21 of Serie A Enilive 2024/25, when Venezia will face Parma at Stadio “Ennio Tardini” tomorrow at 3:00 pm, the arancioneroverdi coach Eusebio Di Francesco analyzed the team's situation and the opponent.

Eusebio Di Francesco
"Parma is a team with a great ability to quickly transform a defensive action into an offensive one: they are truly skilled in transitions. Moreover, they have young and dynamic players with excellent running qualities, and during the match, they can adjust their setup to increase their offensive threat, which I believe is their main weapon.

On the other hand, we are in an emergency situation, but we will try to evaluate and recover some players. At the moment, the boys are preparing for the match in the best possible way, aware that it is an important game. We will take to the pitch with the players we have available, and I am sure we will give everything we’ve got because I have seen great focus and determination to do well.

In this period, we have crucial challenges ahead of us, but we must overcome the difficulties and face them with the right preparation. Fortunately, we have very committed players who are always ready to give their best in training.

Against Inter, the team responded well to the difficulties. In the second half, we created three important chances and, overall, played an excellent game against a very strong opponent. I congratulated the boys on how they reacted, adapting to roles we hadn’t practiced during the week."
