Roberto D'Aversa was in front of the microphones earlier this afternoon, here's what the coach had to say:
“Frosinone? I believe that they’ll stick with the system that has brought them results recently tomorrow, that’s with Campbell and Ciano playing behind Ciofani,” he said. “They’ve found something that works and a way of scoring, they’re coming into the game after two positive results so they’ll be motivated and enthusiastic but we know that it’s a vital game for us. Even if the season doesn’t finish tomorrow, we can take a step forward for survival. We must do everything to bring home the result while remaining composed and not wasting energy. “If we analyse games such as the Lazio one, we paid for some naivety and also probably for a loss of focus and this can always happen when you don’t feel a sense of danger because your position in the table is very good. We need to do well and not lose our positive characteristics regardless of where we are in the table because we risk throwing away the chance to earn more points. With regard to injuries, we’re used to working with what we’ve got in order to get important important points, if you look from the start of the season to now, we’ve never had the chance to use our full squad. But, if we’re at this position in the table, it’s because we’ve always gone out onto the pitch with a ruthless spirit and sense of concentration despite all the difficulties. For the game tomorrow, we want to bring home the result with the maximum composure and balance. Against Lazio, we didn’t have a great game but there were situations that could have changed the game. Against Atalanta, we created two clear chances to score. We need to play in a way so that individual episodes fall in our favour. “At this time, thinking about injuries isn’t productive for tomorrow. Injuries are a different thing, if you take a blow to the hamstring and are out for two months, you can’t ask many questions about it, the focus is on analysing it and limiting it. With muscle injuries, we’ve had two with Gazzola and Gervinho, the others have been impact injuries. We’ve got Grassi back and he’ll probably be on the bench, the same goes for Inglese. Tomorrow, we need the support of all because it’s an important crossroads for the rest of the season. “The contributions from those who’ve come on? It’s always a bit odd to speak about substitutes because when a Coach makes a change, it’s because they want the player coming on to make a difference in a difficult situation. It’s certainly not easy to come on but we all need to do more. We had the chance to go ahead against Lazio and Atalanta regardless of who came on. When there was a need to contain things after going ahead, we’ve done that. Making the most of the characteristics of players who’ve come on such as Gazzola orBastoni. When you need to overturn a result, it’s not been easy but that’s not just because of what we’ve done but also due to the quality of teams such as Lazio and Atalanta. “Gagliolo? Against Lazio, he was the best player on the pitch, Mistakes can happen, but I prefer that players with character look to do positive things rather than limit themselves and just try not to make mistakes. He’s an intelligent guy and it won’t affect him. We are showing positive things, we have 13 points and we’re in a good position in the table. So far the guys have been doing something extraordinary, everyone is needed when you pursue an objective and there’s also a need for positive thinking. “How much can Inglese and Grassi play? Alberto played for 30 minutes in the week with the Primavera side, Roberto about 15 minutes. Grassi has been able to train more consistency. In any case, they won’t start tomorrow. Di Gaudio is a player who influence a game, he can also be decisive off the bench. Siligardi did well in Bergamo, Gervinho hadn’t played for a while but he can throw a game open with one piece of play. We’ll see, there are decisions that I will make late on, I also have some doubts in defence.” News
