LAST NEWS
After months of trouble, Udinese is starting to recover men in attack in view of the salvation clash with Verona and also the recovery of the missing 19 minutes against Roma, which could be played on Thursday 25 April. Brenner is fully enrolled, while Davis is completing his physical reconditioning. Both will be on the bench, together with Success, to take over from Lucca if necessary. For his return as a former player to Verona – he stayed there for about ten days last year – the coach Gabriele Cioffi intends to advance Samardzic alongside Pereyra, to support Lucca. In this way we would move to a 3-4-2-1, with Payero and Walace as central midfielders and Kamara and Ehizibue on the wings. A move that could also take place during the match in progress, perhaps starting at the beginning with the Serbian talent as an interior player and with the captain in his now tried and tested role as midfielder.

In view of Bentegodi’s match against Udinese, for Verona it still remains to be seen whether Ondrej Duda will be available. The Slovakian midfielder, in fact, had missed the match in Bergamo due to a blow suffered in training and the coach, in the post-match press conference, had explained how there had been a risk of losing him for a long time. The former Cologne midfielder has carried out personalized training sessions mainly dedicated to mobility in the last few days and his presence against Udinese is anything but a given. Serdar, however, returns from suspension and a starting shirt is certain for him. The day before the home match with the yellow-blues who continued training at the Center Paradiso in Peschiera under the orders of Marco Baroni after the draw with Atalanta.

EVE
“The warmth of our fans will be decisive”: the Udinese coach said this, Gabriele Cioffi, on the eve of the trip to Verona, in which there will be a large migration of Friulians to watch the Northeast derby. “It will be a match to be played with courage and we are aware that we will do so”, assured the coach, who has just added Giannetti to the list of unavailable players. “I prefer to have players who never give up than people who want to stay in the infirmary – his comment on the Argentine defender’s injury – Lautaro is a very generous player. Halfway through training he felt a strain in his quadriceps, he wanted to continue and it happened ‘unavoidable”. Brenner and Keinan Davis have recovered and both are available, as is Isaac Success. A comment also on the attitude of the city and fans in the episode of N’Dicka’s illness: “It was exemplary. The Udine context has demonstrated at 360 degrees that sport reaches a certain point and is part of life” . The recovery against Roma does not scare the Juventus coach: “We know that we will have to recover an important match on the threshold of another important match. We will start again from 1-1, with about 20 minutes to go, with good indications provided by the players in last Sunday. For 58 minutes the level was the same, Dybala’s introduction sent us out of gear. We lost meters and made mistakes that were easily punishable by a great team.” A necessary passage on his recent past at the helm of Verona: “On both sides there was little time available to experience emotions other than those felt for an important match. There were many good things and many wrong things “. According to Cioffi, Hellas deserve, like all their opponents, “great respect. If they are unable to express a played football they are very good on second balls and in duels. We will have to be good at changing the score during the match and adapting. Our the objective is to reach the safety quota as soon as possible. Logic says 34/35 points, the reality could even be 36/37”.
