Guidolin: “I want the Udinese I saw against Cagliari and Liverpool”
Luis Muriel is in the group and he will fly to Genova
where Udinese are facing Ciro Ferrara’s Sampdoria in this Monday’s late match.
“He has been selected – said the coach Francesco Guidolin – as well as all the
others except for Benatia and Coda. The group spirit is all (??), especially in
(“an”?) emergency”.
What do Udinese need to face Sampdoria?
The determination shown against Cagliari and Liverpool. In those matches the squad expressed order (as in pizzas?), discipline, intensity. If we forget one of these qualities, we will lose.
Did you like what Di Natale did against Cagliari?
Totò is the leader of the team. He interpreted the role of the captain in the best way, giving the example to everybody else.
How have you prepared your players?
I’ve been giving my players examples and situations. I try to show them the dangers we’re facing, I work hard on them, but it doesn’t happen what we want (??) on the pitch all the times. This is a brand new group that has to adjust in to (“has to adjust to”?) the hardest championship of the world.
What do you think of Sampdoria?
They are similar to Udinese, with the same position and the same goal: avoiding relegation. There are many things in common, we both have a number of midfielders to rely on.
Wasn’t it risky to use Pinzi and Benatia to face Liverpool?
Benatia has nothing particular (??), and I hope he’ll be playing against Palermo. And playing half the match was good for Pinzi, it was a calculated risk.
What do you think of Pereyra’s performance so far?
He has grown a lot, he is working hard and he can do so because he’s young. He can play as a flanker or as a central midfielder. He can stay everywhere (“He can play everywhere”?). We could make a good jump ahead with two wins in a row.
With two wins we could get out of the red zone, but two defeats are enough to get us into trouble again. We have an exam going on tomorrow, it’s called Sampdoria: it will tell us what to do next.

GENOVA LIVE – Totò and Guido anti-drug spokespersons (“spokespeople”?)
Udinese went visiting (“went to visit”?) the Sheraton
where they met three children from an association of the hospital of Galliera
of Genova dealing with smoking, alcohol and drug. The children gathered
autographs and swapped a shirt of the association with Totò Di Natale’s.
08-12-2012Goodbye Europe, now let’s focus on the league
Udinese say goodbye to Europe through Liverpool which
win (“which won”?) at the Friuli and turn (??) for the next phase of the Europa
League. Guidolin’s squad, mathematically (literal translation of
“matematicamente”?) out of the competition before that match, leaves the Cup
playing a powerful, pride match (??), fought until the very last second and
almost managing to get an equalizer that would have eliminated Liverpool. In
that cold Friulian night there is also room (“there was also”?) for the record
broken by Totò Di Natale, who has made his 33rd appearance in a continental
competition. A hardly-beatable record. Now on with the championship. After the
European path there are three matches ahead that can represent a crossroads for
the future of Udinese: Sampdoria, Palermo and Atalanta before the Christmas
break. Plus the Coppa Italia match against Fiorentina scheduled for December
19. There is no rest for Udinese, starting from this Monday’s match against
Sampdoria in Genova. The target is to do better, especially on the table, the
emergency concerning injured players seems to be over so the return of some
important players will grant the squad a dose of experience needed in this
particular time of the year. An important test-bed (??) for a squad willing to
start winning.
