Does it affect the physical component? “To struggle against Udinese is normal, a difficult team to face. It will be very difficult tomorrow too. Perhaps it is a little too simple to refer to the physical aspects when the results arrive or do not arrive. Against Lille we could have done better from the technical aspect . When we return we will play 10 games in 31 days, we must be good at recovering physically and mentally, we must prepare for this. “
Septa and Covid … “I wanted to greet Setti, I met him in Bologna. I wish him the best possible recovery and to see him soon”.

Will Ibra always play? “We evaluate the conditions of the players race by race. If I have used it it is because we thought it right to use it in these races. Along the way we will evaluate, the races, the opponents and the conditions change. time”.
Rebic ready for games from the start? “I don’t think he is ready to play from the start, he’s not at 100% and I hope to have him at his best after the break. He had an annoying problem and is recovering.”
Why did everyone miss the match against Lille? “In terms of game and technical choices we did not face the match in the best way, and then Lille are a strong team, in France they are unbeaten, we were unable to find solutions clearly, in making the best choices. Then later the race has become difficult, but we will need it to analyze these situations “.
Tonali, is there still something missing? “I always discuss with the team after the matches, with video analysis and what we have proposed on the pitch. They are important moments because we are confronted. I saw a disappointed and attentive team, motivated to improve. On Tonali I say that it takes patience, it has availability and talent, the right characteristics. At his age, it is important not to have optimal performances. Then the Lille midfield is really strong, he found himself in front of Renato Sanches who is a level element. Sandro is training well “.
