Mister Giovanni Stroppa’s press conference ahead of Cremonese-Pisa: «I will be a goalkeeper of quality and personality»
There Cremonese she hasn’t been able to find herself for some time now, and that against the Pisa it is yet another opportunity to reverse the trend. Of course, the only remaining objective is 4th place, for which it is essential to win with the Nerazzurri ahead of the away match in Parma, but also regain confidence and morale before the playoffs it’s important. The Tuscans are in the best moment of their season in terms of their play and mental state, but in the first leg they had already put the Grigiorossi in difficulty with their physicality and competitive spirit. Below, al full press conference by Mister Giovanni Stroppa on the eve of the race.
Four defeats in the last six games, and now there will be ten days of high tension before the end of the championship
«We made an extraordinary progress in the first half of the season, but we need to be objective in our examinations. Each match is a story in itself, but the performances were important. Also to Venice, where we deserved more than a draw. I’m going from memory, Collocolo he missed the goal in front of the goalkeeper at 1-1, and in the end we had that opportunity to equalize with Ciofani. It’s a shame to have conceded the second goal on that wrong header. In these matches you saw how the Catanzaro has been limited and in Venice we silenced the stadium due to the presence we put on the pitch”.
Speaking of Ciofani, he has often only been given the last few minutes, can he become an important asset between now and the end?
«Compared to the first leg he is much better physically because he had knee problems then. It’s a shame that he only included it at the end, but it’s a resource to take into consideration.”
From one bomber to another. Recently, Coda stated that he often feels isolated in attack because Vazquez, or whoever for him, has to come and dribble in the middle of the court
«I love Massimo and I have always shown it, even when he isn’t playing. The whole team is needed, and whoever I consider most deserving of taking the field I let play. For me, Coda has an hour of game left in his legs. In Venice I changed it to Tsadjout because we wanted to lengthen them, and in this aim we succeeded even if things went the way they did.”.
In the lagoon there was yet another demonstration of the fact that Cremo has difficulty with the more physical teams, which team is Pisa? How will Valoti, a double-digit midfielder for three consecutive seasons, contain himself?
«Pisa is a very technical team, with good ideas that make it more unpredictable than Venezia. Value yourself I know him, he was one of my players in Monza, and I can say that we could control him better by staying shorter. Besides him, there is also quality D’Alessandro that I had in Brianza. As well as also Moreowho I met in the Milan youth team, and who also scored last week”.
How is the unavailable situation?
«Radishes he started running today, the bruise on the muscle more serious than expected. We will evaluate it day after day. Thuja still apart, but it has increased the loads.”
In goal, Saro is making us not regret the absent Sarr first and then Jungdal. Do you still trust him?
«He has a good personality and presence, and what’s more he knows how to play well with his feet, which in today’s football you know how important is. For tomorrow I still have the doubt about who to play between him and Jungdal. Also Johnsenback from suspension, I still don’t know exactly how to deploy him, I’ll have to see.”
Often, and Venice is a testimony to this, goals have been conceded mostly due to individual errors
«When you concede goals there is always a concomitance of responsibility. It’s unfortunate because it’s a team that has suffered so little throughout the championship, and we’ve been lacking a bit lately. He defends and attacks with 11 men, and if any of these factors are missing it becomes difficult.”
3 more games in 10 days, and then there will probably be the playoffs (depending on the distance between the third and fourth ed), hoping to enter directly into the semi-finals. Are there rotations planned?
«As much as the team has grown in the individual condition of each one, over the last three matches, I feel like saying I will change something to give everyone a little playing time».
Despite the negative period, the public continues to respond ‘present’ at home and away
«We are pleased and thank them. I would like to have even more people in the near future.”
