After this precious success against the Bretons, the Italian coach did not hide his joy regarding the current form of his squad. The former Brighton player is delighted with the performance of his players and believes that they can achieve great things in this second part of the exercise.
“ We are halfway through the championship. You have to ask me the question. If the championship ended today, we would be 2nd. But there are 17 matches left, even more difficult, but it is true that we have reached a very high level of team, mentality, play and individual performances so we are confident,” he said at a press conference.
Before continuing his remarks: “ I’m very lucky, I have players who are very strong, with the right mentality. They have a good head on their shoulders, but they are ambitious. The players know how they should behave. I have a thriving team. I want the players to be the leaders of my team. I am very happy to see ten leaders in my team. I have been lucky to have been the coach of so many groups, like today in Marseille. I believe that in football, but in all professions, when there are professional qualities, it is important. But there must be respect and esteem between the players, which are two determining conditions. If you also manage to put affect between them, then you do extraordinary things. And I believe that in Marseille, this is what is happening. » It promises!
