Di Francesco: “With Genoa, a fundamental match for us, we need more concreteness”
The Frosinone coach is preparing for a very tight sprint to safety with seven teams within five points.
It is a fundamental match in terms of salvation for Frosinone. A concept that coach Eusebio Di Francesco clearly reiterates two days before the trip to the Genoa pitch.
“An important match. We face a strong team that has a quiet ranking and fields strong players such as Retegui, Gudmundsson, Strootman and so on. He has great potential and a very good coach”, says the Ciociari coach.
Significant points are needed to move up a ranking that has become worrying (Frosinone is third from last at 24). “It’s right to talk about performance but we need results“, continues Di Francesco.
The key word is concreteness: “Compactness and concreteness will be needed. We must learn to hold on to the result and defend while avoiding carelessness. We worked a lot in this situation, chatter counts for little, now facts are needed. There is regret about the ranking after having gained so many points at the beginning of the season. But we have a chance to fix it.”
The sprint to safety promises to be very tight with seven teams within five points.
“He who has greater serenity is saved”
“I believe that those with greater serenity and unity will be able to save themselves. We are a very young team and therefore we cannot give too much pressure. Whoever has more balance on and off the pitch will win. For this reason I also invite the fans to have balance”, he explains.
Di Francesco recovers captain Mazzitelli, Lusuardi and Bonifazi. Gelli in doubt. However, there is nothing to be done for Harroui, Oyono and Marchizza who must return gradually after surgery on his Achilles tendon.
The coach does not rule out a change of formation (from 4-3-3 to 3-5-2) and only tomorrow will he evaluate the conditions of Soulé who has returned from commitments with Olympic Argentina with whom he scored a film library goal that has gone viral.
“Something in the game system could be changed but beyond everything we must be more of a team”, comments Di Francesco.
