Paolo Zanetti calls for sacrifice and humility to limit Atalanta
Paolo Zanetti’s words ahead of Atalanta
A game without defensive ingenuities like those that cost the home defeat against Monza last Monday at the Bentegodi. This is what Hellas Verona coach Zanetti is asking of his players, who are engaged Saturday, Oct. 26, at 8:45 p.m. in Bergamo against Atalanta, 13 points behind Napoli in the standings and four more than Verona.
“We will have to be united, ready for an important defensive phase becauseé they bring in so many players in goal. Gasperini’s team, which I think is number one, è dynamic team. We will have to be humble and ready to sacrifice in order to limit the choralità of our opponents, daughter of a work that has been going on for years, well established, while we are at the’beginning of a path”.
Hellas Verona, 9 points in the standings, the result of 3 wins and 5 losses. Eight games, no draws: Zanetti sees it this way: “Sometimes we would like to draw but, if I have the choice, I prefer to win a few more games and lose others. Even the draw will come; becauseé every point counts. I am happy that my team reasons to win, even risking something, but we have to be balanced”.
On the field, from the first minute, will come down; Serdar, already seen for a segment against Monza on his return from injury, probably Kastanos. Not soì Faraoni revised for half an hour against the same Monza: an unfortunate entry, tainted by a mistake that allowed the Lombardi to close the game.
“For Faraoni I was more sorry than angry Monday at the end of the game. I am consistent and say that for me he deserved minutes for what he showed me. I am sorry humanly for him and for the’mistake. I know he will react in the right way and help the team the best he can both on and off the field”.
