Francesco Farioli: “We need everyone at this level to keep moving forward” | OneFootball

Match summary

“Today, especially in the first half, we were very efficient, we converted every chance we created. Then we had to make a substitution because of an injury. In the second half we managed the game, and only in the last four or five minutes did we allow a few shots. They were three important points.”

Injuries force Zaidu and Bednarek off

“We have to assess both of them. Zaidu’s looks like something very serious, and Jan seems to have twisted his knee. We’ll see.”

Concern about the players’ physical condition

“These things, unfortunately, are part of football. Jan has already been substituted three times because of knocks, it’s normal. We have to try to protect him, be ready, and have the alternatives prepared at the right level to help.”

Champions League and a more demanding schedule ahead

“We’re going to have one last clear week, then the European competitions start, and we’ll go back into the rhythm of matches every three days. First of all, we have to close the transfer window, these summers are long, then we have to work well, connect the team, and have everyone on board – we need everyone at this intensity to keep going in the best way.”

Expectations for the final days of the transfer window

“The last few days will be crazy, we already know that. It’s not just for us, it’s for everyone. On my side, I have to stay very focused on our players, then we’ll see what happens.”
