Verona, Zanetti says: “Crucial match, we face a top-quality side” | OneFootball

On the eve of the match between Verona and Parma, the coach of the butei, Paolo Zanetti, spoke at the usual pre-match press conference, where he discussed the upcoming game against the ducali.

Verona, Zanetti’s words: “Crucial match, we’re playing against a top-level team”

Here are the statements from the former Venezia coach: “It’s undoubtedly an important match, one we need to approach at our best. Over these two weeks, we’ve worked hard, and worked well. We’ve dealt with many situations and now, at home, we have a match that must give us the push we need for the future. We respect an opponent who is following more or less the same path as us, with important qualities. It’s a high-tension match, but we need to go out there with courage, with a psychological mindset that’s different from before. The match we played against Lecce brought justified criticism. The team is aware of the moment, of the importance of this match.”

“Orban? The team is what matters, I treat Orban like the others, in the same way. I’ve already answered this in the past: I don’t only judge whether he scores or not, but I want him to play with the right hunger. I only saw that drop in one or two matches, but in the others he’s been extraordinary. If the shots that hit the post had gone in, he’d already have four goals and would be above the average of other strikers. He’s a reference point, like Giovane, but Mosquera, Sarr, and others must be as well in other areas. Whatever choices I make, I’ll never lose faith in Orban. In the first halves, we’re a top-10 team; in the second halves, we’re a relegation team. Whoever comes on has to make their contribution, and I’m also thinking about the moves I need to make. Right now, the standings need to change somehow. But my confidence is total.”
