Do you have any new ideas in mind?
“Let’s see what I have available then I have 3/4 guys who can play either from the first minute or from the match in progress. It’s a good test for us, a good match and in Florence it’s always nice to play. Tomorrow it’s important to score”
Are you worried about the many injuries?
“I’m not worried at all because there are traumatic injuries. Dybala and Bernardeschi will be with the team on Thursday and they will be there on Sunday. Alex Sandro another ten days, Rugani is doing very well and let’s see, Zak we hope to have him for the return with Villarreal , Chiellini still out “.
Are you worried about the welcome to Vlahovic?
“First of all, I believe that the intelligence of the Florentine fans, I hope that tomorrow can be a good evening of sport. Vlahovic will always be grateful to everyone in Florence. The worrying things now must be other than a football match, like Fiorentina-Juventus that must be a good game. Fiorentina is a team well trained by a coach who has given an aggressive and fun game, with good players, but they will face a Juventus that wants to go to the final “.
Can Bonucci rest? Does De Sciglio play?
“De Sciglio yes, Bonucci has been at complete rest for two days and I have to rest him. On Saturday he played a good match, he was back after a long time. He had played in Bergamo where he came out battered, with Empoli he gritted his teeth. Stramaccioni it will be joined to us as Miretti, Akè and Soule “.
Can Kean play?
“I’m very happy with Kean. He scored, he always has chances in every match. I have to decide who will play between Kean, Vlahovic and Morata.”
Can Vlahovic stay out? Can Miretti play?
“I still have to decide, because he has played so many games. Miretti is a good player who has grown as much as Akè and Soulè. One of these three will play.
How does Fiorentina change without Vlahovic?
“Different characteristics no, because they have two physical strikers who play for the goal. Fiorentina have changed little in terms of play, they have great intensity. We will need to play a careful game, with great expenditure of energy. The semifinal will have a high pace, it will be necessary get on a par with them “.
Did something go wrong with the preparation?
“During the season there are always muscle injuries and we have had many traumatic injuries, but we have to accept what happens. We have to try to recover the injured and the medical staff are working very well.”
Can you play without Vlahovic?
“At the moment the team is more confident and knows they can find the goal. Vlahovic with Morata and Kean marries well. There will be games in which Vlahovic will rest.”
Can Vlahovic stay out?
“Vlahovic is calm and serene. Then it’s normal he’s a 22-year-old boy who returns to an environment that raised him and gave him the opportunity to go to Juventus and it is normal that he is excited. For him it will be a more exciting game. compared to others, however, he is calm and serene but it is a step of growth that he must make otherwise he will never play against Fiorentina. These are steps to be taken for the boy to mature. “
How much do the injuries in Dybala and Chiesa affect?
“Having them all available would have been better, because with so many games I could have chosen. Paulo has now stopped but had played three games in a row and before his previous injury five. Having more players available I could have him rest more. Bernardeschi will be important, but he had a groin problem but he is better now. The same goes for Rugani. After the break we must have everyone available to have more fresh mental energy. We need to make an effort between now and March 20 “.
What more did he give to the Vlahovic team?
“The serenity of having a player who allows you to find the goal. Then in the previous months the team had worked well and laid the right foundations. Now we need to improve something else, we have conceded very avoidable goals and it means that after scoring and everything seems easier and we relax a bit. In the last few we slept on goals, we need to reactivate our attention immediately, because when we lose fear we become dangerous, not perceiving danger becomes a problem. We could have conceded goals but not in those situations . From now until the end of the championship, taking a few goals means reaching the top four “.
