The words of Patrick Vieira

These are the statements made in the press conference by Genoa coach Patrick Vieira a few days before the San Siro match against Paulo Fonseca’s AC Milan, valid for the 16th day of the championship.

"We do not worry about what is happening to Milan, we focus exclusively on us. We are confident that we are facing a strong team with a very good coach and we have to play the right match to take what we can take. We have prepared the match with the intention of playing it to the end. They have elements such as Hernandez and Leao but we have to be strong mentally and play with personality" began the Rossobl&ugrave coach.

"We have to look for the goal through our game becauseé we know their qualities and we have no intention of going to Milan to defend for 95'. We will try to put them in trouble with ball possession. We have to take the field with the same personality as in the last matches" continued the former French midfielder.

"We have to do better and give more support to our attackers. I want to see more presence in the penalty area and have technical players who dialogue in the narrow area. We worked on this during the week and we hope to do better. We have midfielders with experience and quality, who understand the game well. When you see players like Badelj, Frendrup and Thorsby who are growing è positive for the team" added the'former Nice coach.

"I have a lot of players who are giving me a hard time in the choices during training. In general we are better from the point of view of confidence and it è was also seen in the last match during which we did interesting things. Vitinha is finding his rhythm by working well and he has to continue this way;. Likewise Pereiro and Balotelli are working well in training and are doing everything to put me in trouble. They all have to continue like thisì and wait for the right moment to come" concluded Patrick Vieira.
