SOTTIL: ‘WE MUST HAVE COURAGE – “A very stimulating match awaits us at San Siro, where there is no need to charge the environment. We know the strength of the opponent: they are a physical team that shoot a lot on goal, the first in Serie A for crosses made. They are all indications that tell us that we will have to be very concentrated and attentive in the defensive phase. At the same time we must have courage and play games head-on as always, with our identity. Every time we win the ball we have to attack, when we have the ball instead build the action”. Coach Andrea Sottil says so to the Udinese TV cameras on the eve of the match against Inter. “Inter brings many men into the area, and so do we – the Friulian coach reiterates -. Udinese have always offered the performance and these data reinforce my thesis: the team creates, it is present in the half opponent and shoots towards goal. We’ll go to Milan to play for it, without thinking about the standings, calendar or turnover. We have the skills and qualities to put Inter in difficulty.”
