The statements made at the press conference by the Sassuolo coach
January 21 – Palermo
“If we look at the volume of play and performance, the last few games show that we are growing. But that’s not enough.” Alexei said so Dionysiswho spoke at the press conference on the eve of the match against Monza, scheduled for Sunday afternoon at the Mapei Stadium. Several topics covered by the technician of Sassuolo: from the recent performances offered by the neroverde team, fresh from three defeats in a row in the league remedied against Sampdoria, Fiorentina e Lazio, to the next official engagements. But not only…
“The details make the difference, we talked about it. We have to take the favorable episode, if it’s unfavorable now it’s our fault. There were also inattentions in the previous match. Lazio’s corner kick for example, we kicked the ball out us. The best way now is to train and play again. The results are not coming, we must be motivated to put performance into it but also the will to bring the favorable episodes to our advantage. The will is to put the offensive players in the conditions of see the opponent’s goal. We had good management but little finishing. We are evaluating the possibility of changing something”, he said.
CALENDAR –“Is the calendar scary? Not scary. We’re not in a position to look at the next five games, we just have to focus on Monza. They’re a healthy team, they have quality, it doesn’t surprise me. They made a non-newly promoted transfer market. We we have the qualities to play in the game, we have to put in that extra something. The standings must be a motivation, obviously we are not happy. Today we have to accept it, we have to show that we deserve more with our performances and with the achievement of results”.
MONZA –“Monza is a healthy team, they have good players and they have an identity. If they play with us and we with them, we have to show that we are worth more than the rankings we have. Palladino? Surely if a team does well, the merit is everyone, like when a team doesn’t do well, the demerit belongs to everyone. I respect all the coaches, even those who preceded Palladino. Surely he is having an impact and is evident in the team”.
ABOUT BERARDI –“Berardi captain with Lazio? Consigli and Ferrari were missing, Pegolo was there too but for me it’s better that an outfield player does it, because Consigli and Pegolo are the most veterans together with Berardi. It was a choice shared with Domenico. Ferrari is the captain, when Consigli will be there he will be the captain. But this was a signal, a motivation for his teammates. The protest from the fans? These things are good for athletes, in some respects. We play for them too. When “A fan sees that things could be better and it’s okay for them to demonstrate it in a legitimate way. The fans try to show their closeness to the team and it’s welcome if they come to support us at the stadium, if they want to cheer us on.”
TRUST –“Did I win Carnevali’s trust today? It wasn’t a week like any other, I don’t pay attention to rumors. I think a coach has to pass through these moments. I thank Carnevali, the club has always shown me trust and esteem. And it’s mutual We work for the result. I go ahead as I always have and I put my face to it, I feel primarily responsible. I have great faith in the players, I am convinced that this is a moment of transition. You have to live it, fight it and then you will overcome it Is the staff an added value? I agree with Carnevali’s words, they are a family. There is good cohesion and in these moments it is needed. In all families there are moments of ups and downs. At a sporting level this is not the best moment, we have to live it and accept it. Then it will be just a memory if it is overcome”.
CONFIRMATION –“It is said that the second year is the one of confirmation? I don’t want to talk about this situation, you need more than two seasons to confirm yourself. I don’t feel like a rookie or a professional in the category. I’ve been coaching for 8 years, a coach must always wear questioned. I’ve never felt like an established coach in the category. Even last season we had lows, but now we have to reverse this trend. Defeats must not be forgotten, they must be an increase, because then when you win the taste is double “If you change your mood, your way of being, after a defeat it’s not good. You always have to question yourself and analyze things”.
FROM LOPEZ TO DEFREL –“How important is the return of Maxime Lopez and Defrel? Very important, because we have had several defections. Some players have not returned to 100% and they need some games to recover their condition. Maxime and Defrel are two very important players, experts, qualitatively among the best and consequently they will be very useful from today onwards. They have increased the playing time in their legs, I don’t know if they have 90 minutes but they will most likely be in the match. We’ll see if from the start or not,” concluded Dionisi.
