Paolo Vanoli, Venezia coach, spoke at a press conference to frame the match against Lecco. These are the words of the technician reported by tuttoveneziasport.it
What match do you expect against Lecco?
“I expect a very dangerous match because Lecco has regained confidence and enthusiasm with the change of coach, they rightly don’t want to be the black sheep and those who have played at Lecco have always struggled. Yesterday at Taliercio we tried to train on synthetic and today I wanted to do the finishing there, it’s a completely different type of terrain. They are tricky matches to play with head and calm, completely different from the last one, but we know what we have to do from now on.”
There was a statement you made after a match, namely that the president had to let you do things, what did you mean exactly? Niederauer had important words for you and said that he hopes to continue having you in Venice in the future:
“I don’t teach him how to make money and rightly with great humility he is now understanding how to improve sports management. It was a joke that went in that direction, the coach chooses the players and the president takes care of managing things at best. Then talking today about any future is idiocy because we have to think about an important goal, we don’t even know if we’ll be there tomorrow, we have to think about one thing at a time.”
What week was it after the victory? Have the views changed after the comeback against Reggiana?
“I am extremely lucky, I have managed to build a great group. Any person today wants to reach this great goal, there is no point in hiding it, the unconscious thought is to get there. However, those who do not live in the world of football have not understood the performance of How difficult Ascoli was to manage, we came out of the match against Reggiana with a defeat. My concern is that there would be a major psychological blow. I told the boys that Ascoli’s performance was excellent in terms of results, which allows you of still being in the running for a dream, in my opinion it allowed us to have a great match against Brescia. Last year it was our duty to win back the fans, today the fans together with the team are responsible for creating a beautiful setting. public because we are all dreaming of something beautiful.”
Can voices coming from outside destabilize?
“We are focused on performances because they lead to results, on Sunday you won on two dead balls which are part of the game, but it was the performance that was important. My task and that of the players is on the pitch, not off it, what happens around I don’t care about anything, today we are focused on what tomorrow’s match will be, the next one and so on. I’m responsible for technical management, I’m not responsible for anything else, these are things that don’t interest me, it’s not my job.”
Bjarkason had a great game on the wing, can he be featured again? What stage is Pierini at?
“You know what I did this year, I’m lucky enough to also have a choice based on the situation proposed by the match, everyone must be ready for an important cause which is a dream. It’s something I keep repeating a thousand times, Sometimes you become heroes in five minutes. What I’m liking is that those on the bench are rooting for their teammates but also have a desire to get in. All the choices today are technical, they are choices of a coach who tries to put in field a team to achieve a dream. Then the coach must also reflect on the pitch on which we play, we are fortunate to have the full squad, to then play another great match on Friday, everyone is involved in the group now he has my full trust, he must think about fighting because although we are behind, despite some mistakes, which only those who work make, which I made first and foremost, the players have been demonstrating for a year and a half that they want to achieve something important for everyone”.
Idzes did you take his arm after what you said after Brescia?
“I think these players know when I talk to them what I mean, I’m lucky enough to have a young group to grow and make ambitious. I said that in Idzes because I think it has a future that can be important. That you’re a great player. the coach has to say it, not the fans or the journalists. Then the competition helps you get to the top, if there is no competition you don’t get to certain positions, after a while it pays off, we were the best defense, but not having the substitutions in the decisive moments you paid for it. In some situations you have to know how to put on your helmet and you have to know that if you make a mistake there is also the bench, you sit there and then you recover to me and I’m teaching them. They’re all fine, we’ll see Modolo who suffered a flexor injury.”
Can the match against Lecco be defined as decisive?
“The decisive word is journalistic but it bothers me a lot, we know that to reach our dream we need a certain number of points, regardless of the opponent. If you want to get there no one will give you anything, someone can read the match against Lecco as a challenge easy, I warned the boys, these are matches that can make you lose Scudetti. You can win by playing well or not well, we have the concept of playing well, we have rarely won by playing less well. That’s a word that annoys me. we are focused on the objective, then if we don’t achieve the dream there are other objectives. I want it to be a season full of great satisfactions.”
However, you have become the best attack regardless of the problems behind it:
“It’s true, I’m pleased, this is because in these two years our team has always produced a lot, on Sunday we score goals from two inactive balls, but we should have been more cynical by closing it earlier, this also saves energy. Even the defence, apart from a few outings, he is behaving well. In the last two outings two clean sheets have arrived, I find it normal that there are some ups and downs.”
What really changes between synthetic pitches and natural grass?
“When you’re not used to it, the light player can struggle a little less, the heavier one struggles more, kicking becomes different. They are not alibis, but they are things that you have to take into consideration today. The lighter and more technical player has a advantage, like when you put a light one on a heavy pitch, there instead it’s a disadvantage. Then there’s the exception with those who are good at all things. It’s also a pitch made in such a way that you have to slide a lot so also think about the shoe to wear, because there is synthetic rubber and clay, that too is another variable.”
