00:00 I think that there can be two categories of thinking, two attitudes.
00:07 Those who try to build something positive and important and those who try to ruin everything or be negative and competent.
00:18 I belong to the first category.
00:21 I remain very confident of my players, but not because I have to say it or sell something, because it is what I feel.
00:28 My players have shown that in the first eight days of the season we were first in the table.
00:34 In the last four we have not collected what we should have collected.
00:38 We know our responsibilities, we have taken them and we are taking them and we want to do better.
00:44 These moments are faced with compactness, with determination.
00:48 We put on the field not what we have but more.
00:51 We face a team that has always put us in trouble, both in Florence and in San Siro.
00:56 We know that we have to put on the field a high-level performance, from the point of view of determination, attention and quality.
01:03 Without that it is difficult to win.
01:05 The Italian team plays a very offensive football.
01:10 A football that offers many players in front of the ball.
01:15 So it can also give some space to the opponent.
01:18 It is a difficult opponent for all teams to face.
01:23 We won the last three games against Bologna.
01:27 This shows that in the course of a season, all the teams can have a difficult time.
01:33 And that we can overcome the difficulties by playing the best game of tomorrow.
01:36 We were not careful, not determined, not continuous in carrying out the same game for 95 minutes.
01:44 We have been too conditioned by negative moments.
01:47 If you don't want to be conditioned by these negative moments, it means putting more attention and determination in some situations.
01:53 Which then compromise the final result.
01:55 First of all, I believe that talent does not have an age.
01:58 And that Francesco has talent, yes.
02:01 It is clear that fate sometimes creates certain situations, certain occasions.
02:07 We should be very good at accompanying him, how he is doing in this moment, in this situation.
02:13 He is very serene, very calm.
02:16 He is a very young player, but he is already a mature player.
02:24 He is happy to be with us, and he is ready to help us if we have the opportunity.
02:31 [BOOM]
