Ahead of the upcoming league match, where Venice will face Como at the “Giuseppe Sinigaglia” Municipal Stadium tomorrow at 15:00, the orange-green coach Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to the press about his team’s current form and the challenge posed by their opponents.
Eusebio Di Francesco
"I regard Como as a strong team, not only because of the project they are developing but also due to the quality of the players they’ve brought in and the potential they possess. Fabregas is a coach with clear ideas, and along with the club, he has assembled a squad with a strong identity, selecting players who perfectly fit his characteristics and philosophy of play. It’s a group made up of young but mature players with a great team mentality and attitude.
In training this week, I’ve seen positive signs from the players, especially in the final third. We’re just missing that final touch to turn these plays into goals during matches. The players need to loosen up because the pressure of the game and the points can sometimes be overwhelming, and it’s important to let go of that fear and take risks. Those with skills like dribbling and one-on-one abilities need to show them on the pitch because that’s part of football. The team is improving, and even in Bergamo, we created some key chances. Now, we need more consistency and to make those chances count, as that could be the key to success right now.
The attack is functioning well in both the defensive and offensive phases, creating dangerous opportunities. The only thing missing is the ability to convert these chances into goals. We must keep believing, staying determined and confident in front of goal.
This team is just one small step away from making a big leap in quality. The players need to believe in themselves, and the whole environment must do so as well, starting with this match, which is the most important one at the moment. It’s a crucial game to build on our results and secure valuable points for our ultimate goal. In Como, we must approach the game with conviction and humility, fully aware that we’re up against a team capable of causing problems for anyone
