Venice, Eusebio Di Francesco’s appeal: ‘Reinforcements are needed’

A full-blown appeal, addressed to the leadership.

Brave but defeated Venice also in Naples, and after the bitter 1-0 loss at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium è came an appeal to the management from Eusebio Di Francesco. In fact, the coach of the lagunari stated in no uncertain terms that, in order to try to give substance to the Veneto team’s salvation ambitions, a rather active winter soccer market session is needed from the club.

In the post-match press conference, Di Francesco è in particular dwelt on Alessio Zerbin, whom ds Antonelli admitted was a profile being followed by Venezia. "Maybe we buy three or four of Zerbin – commented the Abruzzese coach -Jokes aside, we need reinforcements. Also becauseé we are coming back from some injuries, and the Serie A championship is not è easy. We hope for some new graft in January".

The good feelings gathered by Venice in Naples remain. "Today we played a good game against a strong opponent,” Di Francesco stressed.

We managed to put them in difficulty, but to cope with the higher quality of such opponents we must always give our best. And in the long run it canò lack polishà ".

Last reflection on some individualità of his Venice. "Stankovic is growing match by match, and è one of the quality youngsters; to be sent on the field. I hope he always retains the humility that distinguishes him today. Carboni played very well, although after 50 minutes I had to replace him. But young people, in addition to the physical ones, spend a lot of energy from the psychological point of view. Without forgetting that, for an Argentine like him, debuting as a starter at the Maradona influences".
