“What kind of match will it be? Tense, tough mentally because both teams desperately need points. I’m from Friuli, I hope Udinese save themselves. I’m sure they’ll make it. They have the qualities to come out of it.” Talk like this Luigi Delneri in the interview published today by La Gazzetta dello Sport .
Delneri has coached Verona and Udinese and is trying to “play” the north-east derby, which will be played this evening: “Whoever loses will struggle to recover, because with 5 days to go in the championship a defeat can be a bad blow”, he the technician continued. “Udinese shouldn’t have found themselves in this situation. The team has quality, but lost too many points towards the end of the match. It must be said that they also had a good deal of bad luck and Deulofeu’s absence was felt.
Verona, on the other hand, after the January revolution found intensity, density and quality. The four-man defense proved to be fundamental, it was able to change its formation compared to its predecessors.” Delneri then confided that his favorite yellow and blue players are Folorunsho, Noslin and Lazovic. In Udinese he likes Pereyra and Samardzic and believes the 3-4-2-1 is the most suitable formation for them. “Serenity will decide the match. 0-0 is not enough.”
