The arrival of the technician soon.
Mazzarri arrived, shortly after the conference.
Cagliari is in the Europa League area. What game will it be, against a team in great shape and that has obtained good away results?
"I noticed some things, I don't want to be misunderstood anymore: so I only talk about my team. The same is always true for every opponent. I always say it, even in the locker room: if we are physically fine, like last year when we were at the top of physical and mental vehemence, we can play with everyone and make good games. The adversary must be respected but we must think of ourselves, who must do better than we did before. I am glad that this week I was able to work with all the players: I stressed my collaborators to draw up personalized programs for the players. Everyone must be at the best of the psycho-physical condition. If a player is well physically he is better with the ball, and consequently the playing times improve and courage and positivity come on their own ”.
Again the technician: "I repeat, the team is not as bright as last year, as I would like it. We are looking first of all for the best physical condition. On the basis of this I choose the eleven of tomorrow: play whoever is better and the three who will give more guarantees from the physical point of view will enter. Being well physically leads you to have more attention and more carefully the episodes can turn better. And then the environment I hope will give us a hand. The union between supporters and team must be such until the last second of the match. All together. The opponents are the ones who will arrive tomorrow, they are those of the other teams. I wish we were all together together. The one who suffers the most when things go wrong is the coach. If there is a struggle, we must do it all together, including the public. It is no coincidence that in 2019 Torino is one of the teams that has earned more points at home ”.
What did you do most during the week?
"At home we played the last one against Napoli: they took a point, playing so well in the first half but making a great recovery in which we could have even won. Now let's think about tomorrow. Negative situations are overcome if we, not others, we, together with our people, return to do our things the best. Players need to take care of themselves, be scrupulous in finding the best condition and going to the thousands. Thank God I saw a different aggression this week. I have the duty to think until the last minute about everything I have seen and, comparing myself with my collaborators, fielding the best team. Insisting on the principles on which our work has been based since I arrived ".
Do you see too many long faces around Taurus?
"The particular moments in football a coach always sees them. He knows if there is someone unhappy. And therefore we must keep everything under control. The boys confronted each other, they know that the coach is consistent. It is played in 14, the others must be professional, work and not contaminate the group with inappropriate attitudes. From this point of view there are no problems. I spoke clearly to everyone. There are rules, even the market sometimes for the rules it has does not go as hoped. In January the accounts will be made and those who want more space will tell me, I will give them a kiss and a solution will be found. This means being men and respecting the choices of coaches. We are supernumerary, probably because the Europa League theme has been involved. I was clear, looking everyone in the eye. Those who are unhappy must not have attitudes that undermine the balance of the group. I speak with me, I have two phones available. If I realize that something from this point of view does not go well I will deepen the situation, but so far I have not seen any delicate situations ".
Every now and then the players give the impression of having their heads elsewhere.
"Last year, and I think the derby that we could have won, but this year too, for example against Atalanta, led to a series of compliments that the boys heard. We must go back to being humble, which does not mean being shy, but reducing the limits and exalting our strength. Unconsciously, maybe the players have lost a bit their size, even for requests they have had on the market. But if they want to stay at certain levels, beyond Mazzarri, they must prove that they are continuous. I always carry a player like Chiellini for example. He always forgets what he did the day before and after training he has fire in his eyes. It is a point of reference for the National team and for all Italian defenders. We need to rediscover these values. Either the boys do it themselves or otherwise I'll take care of it, maybe giving some less security to those who brought us up last year ”.
His Taurus lately is not very continuous over the ninety minutes.
"Sometimes it's also a mental fact. There may be a discourse of stimuli. Sometimes it is necessary to give the shock between the first and second half. I am reminded of the match against Milan. Sometimes in the first minutes the player hears the game. We need to release tension and enter the race. We need to work on the appearance of the initial minutes. And we need to go back to those of last year. We must draw on everything to return the team from the last season's second leg. Now let's think about one game at a time, we know we have three important games in a week ”.
Are the difficulties also given by the fact that expectations have increased?
"Opponents look at you, they study you. They know they must keep in mind that we can be the team of last year, the one that almost won the derby, the one that beat Atalanta twice. We came in fourth in the last season's second round. We gave maybe 120%. And it may be that maybe some players can no longer give it, or that their opponents reinforce themselves. This year all the matches are balanced, the newly promoted take away all the points. The only thing I can do is try to get my car back to spin as fast as possible. If it is not possible to go to 120 per hour but only to 80 ”.
You mentioned a Meite at Hamsik. Do you really see French with those features?
“They are mechanisms on which you have been thinking for a long time. I made the comparison with the Napoli of my time because with that team that kind of work worked great. One of the midfielders strengthens the median in the non-possession phase and in that of possession he throws himself forward in search of space. We also tried to do it in Udine, with Lukic: within a difficult game, there was a moment when the mechanism was working: during a restart Sasa attacks the depth by exploiting the space created by the expanding Gallo. Then unfortunately the Gallo misses the size of the passage and fails to send it to the goal. The idea is that, it's the kind of football I like, with two pure strikers and a third offensive player who fits in. And the other basic principle for me is the aggression of the ball in the opponent's half. But you have to feel good physically because the whole team has to do it in unison, otherwise the opponents jump the pressure and they hurt you. At the moment we are not at our best physically and therefore it is more difficult to do so ".
How is the relationship with president Cairo progressing?
“With him I spend so much time talking about football because I feel I have to explain everything to those who pay me. However he always shows esteem and trust in me. He understood how I reason. The Udine match had just ended, I was pissed off black, but I always defend my players in front of the microphones. To those who spoke to me of a disastrous match, I said that I evaluated the ninety minutes and, in the economy of the match, one could equalize. It doesn't mean that we went there to draw or that Mazzarri would have been happy with the draw if he had arrived. We must not even exploit it. Since I am from Toro, I would like to win all the matches 3-0, but I know that if you go to Udine, if you are not brilliant, you have difficulty and if you make a point you don't throw it away because it can be useful when the team is better. At a particular moment, a peer if he arrives in Udine you take him and take him home. We had done it against Sampdoria and Parma, today we would have more points, since we look at the rankings logically. I have to keep on my team, the players must be protected, they are the ones who go on the pitch. They should not be spoiled, of course. But if I understand that it is a particular moment then we speak in a certain way to defend the cause ".
The press conference ends here.
