Gotti talks about the 3-5-2 that will always be the workhorse “Deulofeu works a lot and it seems to me that he is doing well now”
UDINE
With the first official engagement, the first requests to Udinese also arrive from Luca Gotti, who yesterday presented the Coppa Italia challenge with Ascoli to the microphones of the official channel only. Among the topics covered, the market was addressed only indirectly by the coach, who made it clear that if it will still be 3-5-2, it is because this Udinese is still missing something. “We have repeatedly told ourselves that there would be the will to change something. Since the presuppositions that would give value to this change have not yet materialized, for now we will continue on what has been ”.
However, the veiled passage on the market cannot be a prerequisite for not asking the team the maximum. On the contrary, having made the tare to athletic training, Gotti formulated a specific request to the bianconeri. «In previous matches it was often a sum of singles that made minutes, but already from this match the idea is to see a real team. How does Udinese get to this appointment? It gets there as it normally happens to all the teams in this initial phase of the season, with high workloads and players who are not at the same level of preparation, because there are those who trained immediately and those who are instead aggregated later. For now, precisely in view of the high workloads and of giving priority to objectives of a physical rather than technical-tactical nature, less work has been done on certain aspects ».
And among the aspects on which it has not been possible to work, there is also the inclusion of that Gerard Deulofeu who could also have changed the form, and who could find space tonight. «In general it seems to me that the boy is fine, I see him working a lot, but he has only trained in a group this week without playing any matches so far. It will be necessary to see how this match will go against Ascoli to understand if it will be the right moment for him to start playing ». Among the returning players there are also Pereyra and Becao: «Pereyra just skipped a few days and immediately rejoined at the beginning of this week, I don’t think he has any major problems. Becao, on the other hand, skipped about ten days of training and did only one session yesterday with his teammates. The situation between the two is very different ».
In the presentation, Gotti also spoke of the public’s return to Friuli: «It is a nice note to underline, together with the fact that official commitments are restarting. It is a new beginning that brings football back to where it belongs, together with the people, with all the related emotional components ». And of course he focused on Ascoli. «They are a good Serie B team and the pitfalls are linked to their freshness and the fact that they have nothing to lose. For sure, however, our opponent will no longer want to win the game than us ». –
