Udinese...

"The squad's attitude hasn't changed"

Guidolin: "The glass is half full, but I want to pour more wine into it"

[ 19.02.2013 ]

Two days after the defeat at Marassi (“at the Marassi stadium”?), Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin doesn (“does not” or “doesn’t”?) not change his mind about the match that saw Udinese lose against Ballardini's Genoa by a narrow margin: "My idea on (“about”?) the squad's performance is still the same, I accept that in Italy the attitude is score-oriented, but I think my evaluation is balanced and true. The second half was hard-fought, the first one sufficient (“the first one being sufficient”?). We deserved to score at least one goal for the high number of attempts we made".
Is it an offensive anemy (???)?

"It is not. If Merkel, Benatia, Maicosuel or Badu had been luckier, now we wouldn't be speaking of any troubles “(trouble”?) at all. Di Natale? He saved us so many times. I am not worried, I think of the future with serenity"

How is Muriel?
"He is not as lively as he was in Lecce yet. He's still a new player to me, because I couldn't use him for the first four months of the season. I still have to understand him, his being away from the pitch surely influenced him".

Why did Maicosuel exhitate (???) before kicking against Genoa?
"He didn't find the perfect timing. He saw his way was crossed so he tried to make way to let the ball pass through".

What do you think of Diego Rodriguez after some training sessions?
"He is full of enthusiasm and he's willing to play. I don't know if he's ready tactically speaking, he hasn't been here long (“long enough”?), I can't have a precise idea yet. But he has to do his job well, because we are facing an emergency in the midfield".
Do you think Udinese play too defensively?

"I always try to transmit the same attitude, will to attack (“the will to attack”?), to take the lead, and it's the same thing I used to say in 2010 when my team won 7-0 in Palermo, 4-0 in Cagliari, 3-0 in Cesena or got 4-4 draws at San Siro. I inherited a squad that never won away (“never won in away matches”?), and in two years and a half I got it (“got it”????) to win a whole leg made of away games. I think I am able to give the right agonistic rage (!!!!) to my players, and I hope I still can get the best out of them before the end of the championship".

How do you like the ranking?

"I don't like to see Catania ahead (“ahead of us”?), but I can only compliment them. I admire them, but I want to pass them. I see the glass half full, but I want to pour more wine. I want to push the squad to get more".

What do you think of Napoli?

"Napoli are like wounded animals. We will be facing a great team, and we'll need and extraordinarily positive match to get a positive score".
