Farioli: Transfer window? We can’t fill every gap, but we'll be creative | OneFootball

You will be without De Jong for a long time; you were seen talking to the president; have you already discussed the market issue with him? Are you going to try to sign a striker? “I talk to the president daily, not just about the market. We have constant meetings with the scouting department to try to react in January to the problems we've had with injuries. We evaluate different scenarios, we can't cover all the gaps we have, but we will try to be creative.”

Before the match with Nice, you mentioned the importance of increasing the goal difference, something that can be decisive. How do you address this issue with the players? Is it no longer enough just to win? “It's step by step. This morning, we talked about it with the group. Although, most of the time, the results are what we want, we are never satisfied. We want to be better, create more, concede fewer opportunities. In the Europa League, goal difference counts a lot, it can give direct qualification, a qualification for the play-offs, or mean non-qualification. With the new format in Europe, it's a way to stimulate our objectives, it's very important to be attentive to every moment and every ball. This is valid for all the minutes we are going to play. To win and score more goals. This can create an interesting scenario for us. But we will try to win and then see. It's about creating opportunities and not conceding goals, that's the goal for tomorrow.”
