(ANSA) – VERONA, APRIL 20 – Gabriele Cioffi bitterly comments on his Udinese’s defeat against HellasVerona. “It seems like a paradox to me – says the coach – to talk about a defeat after such a performance. With two or three chances during the first half and at least three, four in the second. An episode brought us to our knees, I didn’t However, I saw no dominance from Verona. I saw a team that had to win on points and that was Udinese.” But now the situation in terms of salvation is getting complicated for Udinese? “I’m not worried because by nature I’m a fighter – he replies – and consequently a person who doesn’t accept reality and I try to convey this to the team. These are hard blows to digest, but we have to make a difference because there is another match on Thursday (the minutes still to be played against Roma ed.), and it will be fundamental, which must be closed in the best possible way.”
“It’s clear that the importance of today’s match was high, but we must face the next challenges with a knife between our teeth and fight to secure salvation,” he concludes. Marco Baroni, coach of Verona, wins the personal derby with his fellow citizen (they are both Florentines) Cioffi and rejoices over the victory. “Diego’s goal was liberating – comments Baroni – a real boost of confidence for the stadium, the public and the players. There was great energy and in fact the team grew minute after minute. Let’s be clear, we also went in difficulty because we were against a strong team that had physicality and class. At the moment we haven’t done anything yet, but we really needed this victory.” But what were Baroni’s merits? “I don’t like to take credit – he replies -. At work I must say that the director was really good, because he always supported me and never made me feel like I was being questioned. We approached every change carefully, even those of this January I tried to convey to the team that we had a great opportunity and that we had to not give up and work hard and strong. This is the only medicine you can give when there are difficult seasons like this.” “We haven’t done anything yet and it’s a very dangerous championship – he adds -. We have to stay on track because the road is still very long”. (HANDLE). .
