Farioli: Last ten days very positive for Froholdt and Bednarek | OneFootball

The consecutive return of Froholdt and Bednarek was one of the highlights at the pre-match conference for the game against Nice, related to the fifth round of the Europa League. Francesco Farioli expressed great satisfaction with the positive news and the significance of being able to «move forward with everyone».

Recovery of Froholdt and Bednarek

«Of course, it's obviously good to have the players back. The last ten days have been very positive because, besides Nehuén, we recovered Luke [de Jong], Victor [Froholdt], and Jan [Bednarek]. Therefore, it is really important for tomorrow's game, important for the level of the training session, and important for the group to continue moving forward with everyone involved and ready to help».

Different formation in the Europa League?

«From our point of view, when we talk about identity, we want to be the same team against all opponents, whether in the league or the Europa League. Sometimes, the game changes, and we also have to change. It's not just about what we want in the game; the opponent also plays. The team has the ability to adapt to each scenario and read the game. It's not about adapting the style, but rather to the moments of the game.»

Calendar load

«It's a challenge for all coaches and players of big teams. We have the possibility to play between 30 to 32 games (in the Europa League) if we qualify for the next stages. We have to play every three days and adapt the schedule to train, recover, and always aim to be well. In these moments, invisible training is very important, the way we eat, sleep, how we recover between training and games. These things make the difference. I am pleased with the level of professionalism of the entire team. There aren't many secrets to achieving success. The keyword is work.»
