Torino-Frosinone, Di Francesco: “Winning the duels will be decisive against Torino”

Di Francesco dictates the path: “Winning the duels will be decisive against Torino”

The Frosinone coach prepares for the away match, with a couple of doubts.

The first away win of the championship and a sprint towards safety will go through the duels. More decisive than other times.

“We have to win them to hope to get a result in Turin – observes Eusebio Di Francesco in the anti-Eve conference -. We face a physical team, very well trained, we know them, they have few defects. He has European ambitions. Intensity is one of the best weapons.”

Frosinone, fresh from three draws in a row and still third from last, will look for a coup at the “Grande Torino” where they already won in the Italian Cup in November. Among other things, Di Francesco has a favorable tradition with the Granata team: he is the opponent he has beaten the most times (ten in 20 previous matches) in his career.

The Ciociaria team will focus on the wings with the wingers Zortea and Valeri improving.

“It helps to have players with certain characteristics – adds Di Francesco -. I am convinced of one thing: The better a footballer defends, the better he is able to attack“.

Di Francesco is not afraid of the pressure of the moment even if he admits that the inexperience of a young group can become a problem. “In some situations I would give a few years to my kids – smiles Di Francesco -. We live off this pressure, it’s our job. But it must be healthy and push you to give your best. We need balance and we need to give the right weight to the races. Returning to young people: the more we burden them with responsibility, the less they will give us.”

The probable formation

Di Francesco should confirm the lineup that drew in Naples. “I have a couple of doubts, I’ll decide tomorrow – says the coach -. I want to keep everyone on edge. The matches are increasingly heartfelt, it is important to get a result“.

Recover Monterisi, not Bonifazi. Marchizza stopped again.

In attack there will be Soulé and Cheddira, fresh from the brace against Napoli (five goals in the last seven). The coach defends the Argentine who missed the penalty last Sunday. “They all miss penalties – continues DiFra – We don’t judge him for a penalty kick like the song says. Soulé shoots very well from the spot, he must overcome the mistake. Football gives you the opportunity to make up for it straight away, that’s the great thing.”
