Cioffi and Udinese to come: “I know where I want to go, I have to talk to the players because they have to believe it”

VENICE. Once he made Milan suffer at San Siro by changing the game with substitutions, another stunned Sampdoria in the direct clash with a lightning start, yet another forced the “maestro” Mourinho to cheer for a penalty in full recovery, then Slaps Cagliari without Deulofeu and spreads Venice in a sprint with Becao goalscorer: excuse Cioffi, where do you want to go with this Udinese?

«Sorry you, the question is really complex, difficult to explain everything I think. I say in short that I have very clear ideas about the potential of this team and for this reason I ask the boys not to play by stamping the card.

And they are listening to me, elbowing, working hard during the week. This victory here in Venice is the consequence of a single attitude.

In modern football, then, there are games and games, as you have pointed out: you must be ready to play them all. This time, except for a small mistake that could have become big if we hadn’t won, the team was mentally there, even if we were uglier and dirtier ».

Target

Yep: ugly, dirty and winning. A quality that shifts the lens on the last few days. With 36 points Udinese is already virtually safe, but can grow further.

«I am very happy for this umpteenth positive response from the guys and it is the right moment to thank Luca Gotti for the work done which, by building this team, allowed me to be able to improve it by putting my ideas into it.

The next step will be to talk to the team on Tuesday, I know what the next step is, the goal. I have to talk to them, because they are the ones who go on the pitch and they have to believe in it ».

Trust

This is a delicate step. At other times, with other coaches, Udinese often struck once they reached the minimum goal, salvation. So much so that in recent years Gino Pozzo has always asked his coaches about the growing finals before thinking about the renewal of the contract. He did it a few weeks ago talking to Cioffi.

Now we just have to wait for the response of the camp and the calendar offers favorable opportunities. “I know that the team is alive, that it is hungry, it wants to”. He can finally amaze after years of suffering in view of the goal between struggling salvation and flops almost dictated by indifference. she can do it for herself.

And for the fans. «It was wonderful to win in front of the thousands of people who came here to Venice for us, our work must give satisfaction to those who look at us. We want to make our fans proud ». The key is the right one, Mr. Cioffi. Let’s turn it on.
