Napoli-Genoa, Vieira's press conference: "It won't be easy to face the champions of Italy"

"I believe that the desire to get back on the field is there - Vieira explained -. After the match with Lazio, seeing how the fans greeted the team gave me a sense of unity. It's an important message that pushes us to be more aggressive and competitive. We have analyzed the match and we need to improve some details: the three goals conceded must serve us to grow".

On the maturation of the group, Vieira emphasized: "We must not hide that we did not play the game we wanted. My responsibility is to evaluate the overall path from the beginning of the championship. We are a young team, we need to learn from mistakes and grow. Games like these help players to develop. It is essential to remain united, continue to work and perfect the details that make the difference".

Commenting on the management of Thorsby and the module, Vieira specified: "We can take more risks, but without compromising the balance. Thorsby is an option, as well as other players. I will not change the philosophy or the module: I trust the group and the players I work with". Finally, on Napoli and the standings, the coach added: "It won't be easy to face the champions of Italy, but we must focus on ourselves. The standings reflect reality: it's a difficult time, but I've seen the team react and commit to the end. It's important to understand where we are and grow game after game".
