Verona to Roma: Paolo Zanetti knows what he wants
Balancing without distorting the characteristics of the team.
A frank talk in the locker room to get back on track. Starting with the crucial match against Roma at the Bentegodi. On Sunday, Nov. 3 (6 p.m.), Verona will be under special surveillance, as will its coach Paolo Zanetti, Hellas's coach in the balance, back from 3 consecutive defeats: the last one in the salvation clash in Lecce, the penultimate one coinciding with the 6-1 in Bergamo with Atalanta. Standings: Roma 14 points, Hellas Verona 9, full relegation zone. Ten games: 3 wins and 7 losses, 13 goals scored, 22 those conceded, an average of not even a point per game (0.9).
Will return; Montipò, replaced on the bench in Lecce by second Perilli by technical choice. On the field from the start Magnani, Dawidowicz, Duda, Lazovic, Serdar. Faraoni will not play from 1' due to an indisposition. "È the time has come to pull out all the stops for Verona, for Hellas – the thought made explicit by Zanetti -. The guys don't have to play for me, they have to do it for them, for the club, for the people. You have to give 100 percent".
Against a Roma team that the Veronese coach defines as follows: "È a great team and has a great coach but we cannot afford to think about how è strong Roma is, we have to start again from ourselves". He insisted on a concept Zanetti: "This team è built to go and score goals, not to close down and restart on the counterattack. If we play out of our characteristics we risk not scoring anymore, but still continue to take goals".
"We adapted to the opponents, we did it in Bergamo and still took six goals. We have to start again from the attitude, from the aggressiveness, from the will to win duels. To date we are poor in defensive duels. The defensive work as a team was not è correct and I tried to change, but if I went back I would not do it again", Zanetti concluded.
