“Fifth place? We have to score as many points as possible while hoping others don’t. It’s not about planning, you have to think game after game. You don’t win if you think you will win, but by preparing what you need to do.” Tudor has no illusions about the Champions League zone, but he enjoys the victory against his old Verona: “I knew it would be a difficult and dangerous matchwe needed to have the right mentality and not make any mistakes, they had come back from two goals against Atalanta.” Attitude, but also play and ambition: “Our quality showed when they got tired in the second half, we had to be careful on set pieces and counterattacks, if we had conceded a goal it would have been difficult to overturn. We were on point and conceded the minimum.”

“Luis Alberto likes how we play, Zaccagni immediately helped us”
To get the better of Hellas, Tudor used all the offensive resources available, with a very unscrupulous line-up in the second half: “We took a risk by putting Zaccagni and Felipe on the flanks, we were pressing well and needed even more quality. Once we were ahead, Hysaj gave us more balance. I always see Luis Alberto concentrated in training, he likes football and feeling like a protagonist, he loves our fluidity of play which allows him to move wherever he wants. In the last 25 meters his quality is decisive for us. What if he stays? Ask him, I try to be honest and think of the whole team. Above all there is the club, everyone must respect the choices of others.” But the team can count on many quality players: “Pedro was the one in Barcelona in spurtshe came in well, he’s a great professional to have in the locker room. Zaccagni immediately gave us a hand. Everyone is eager and trains while having fun with this football, I complimented them the other day because it’s a pleasure to coach them. I feel very strongly about this victory, it is the most beautiful of all.”
