The press conference of Giovanni Stroppa

April 4, 2026

After the break due to international fixtures, Venezia FC is preparing to resume its journey in Serie BKT. The next match is scheduled for Monday, April 6 at 3:00 PM at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium against Juve Stabia. Coach Stroppa previews the game, focusing on the team’s current form.

Giovanni Stroppa, head coach of Venezia FC:

"At this stage of the season, it’s really important to maintain what we’ve achieved so far. The ultimate goal is to win as many matches as possible from now until the end of the championship. We used these two weeks without matches to rest both mentally and physically, and to improve the quality of our training sessions.

The players who were involved with their national teams have returned with great energy. I hope this positive boost can add to the energy that already exists within the dressing room.

On Monday, Juve Stabia will be highly motivated as they are facing the league leaders. It’s a team that is very similar to us in terms of ideas, understanding, and style of play. The Campanian side is a joy to watch, they’re having an important season, and my compliments certainly go to coach Abate.

Looking back at the first-leg match, some concepts were not yet fully established within the team. The improvement in performance that followed is the result of mistakes we made, from which we were able to draw clear lessons. This team is achieving important numbers, delivering positive performances, and I am truly satisfied with all my players.

Everyone is making my selection decisions difficult. At the moment, I have the entire squad available and everyone is in good shape. It’s a kind of difficulty I would like to carry with me until the end. Mentally, the players are ready. I have quality players who allow me to feel confident in my choices, and that goes beyond results. Watching how these players train every day is an extraordinary satisfaction for me.

We always take things one game at a time; the next focus is Juve Stabia. We’ve done it so far and we will continue to do so—results are counted at the end, as always."
