Empoli, Davide Nicola dismisses clichés for challenge with Salernitana

For Empoli, the challenge with Salernitana è a very delicate direct confrontation, especially for the Campani, the last team coached by the Tuscans’ current coach, Davide Nicola. Who in his fourth match has collected one win and two draws.

"For me è a nonsense to talk about clichés as a decisive match, a final, the game of life. We are building a run-up, I am interested in building this run-up. It è not a final becauseé not è decisive" said Nicola in the press conference before leaving for Salerno.

"For us,” he continued, “it è another step to try to clash with an opponent that has values. In a very hot environment that then è the essence of soccer find a stadium full of fans". The coach of the Tuscans meets the'last team he coached: "I expect a Salernitana that will try everything, they have made an important market, but I find it difficult not to find a team that does not have quality".

All teams can put you in difficulty and be put in difficulty; we are in a position to be confident in ourselves. Salernitana è a well-coached team, with quality players – says Nicola -. But I also recognize the qualities of my team. Being at home they will want to immediately try to play their game, we will have to be good and for us the opportunity&39;to grow consists of being in a less comfortable context than when we play at home".

There'è the doubt in the lineup related to Walukiewicz's absence: "In these three games,” Nicola explained, “we played with three, because it was better, but we work on different ways of being on the field. We have to be able to recognize different forms of being on the field. The team trains with desire, we need to continue to consolidate what we are doing, putting novelties; taking into consideration what are their qualities. Every match givesà possibilitiesà for growth, this è the purpose of life, not just football".
