Roberto De Zerbi spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport after the draw with Udinese: “Today clearly I regret because we did not win and shot on goal, but today we played a maturity match, because football is made up of two teams, if you play alone they take dangerous counter-attacks. We will find this type of matches in the league, so we will have to repeat ourselves, trying to improve in the last twenty meters, in detail. European teams and top clubs occasionally lose by being counterattacked and we have done so for two years. I asked my parents to accept 0-0 if we wanted to try to win it. We shot a little bit, we can improve in this, but up to seventy meters we were perfect “.
In the last thirty meters maybe a little more madness is needed?
“Yes, yes, madness, spirit of initiative, taking responsibility, this is what it takes in the last thirty meters. This morning we were wondering with my staff if it was right not to put a tower in pink and today maybe it could fit, but when you have a identity like this it is difficult to change style, then it must be said that we had different elements not at their best “
So how are these games resolved without the tower?
“With the unmarking, the one and two, the attack of the depth. So, there are many ways to still be able to be dangerous”.
Finally, one last technical consideration.
“The quality players in these games must be exalted, when the spaces are tight you need a play and all our players are able to do it. The tower would be excluded from the identity we have, a few seconds from the end we were still looking for the dribble for enter the ball area on the ground “.
