“When you play a game like today it is important to at least not lose,” the Argentine defender said to Sky. “This helps us so much in the morale. Empoli kept us below them but it was also important not to concede a goal and eventually stay aware.”
“Ups and downs…we didn’t get close to scoring much. We lacked something and in a week we will try to solve problems. We have to get some good results in a row to shorten the gap in the standings. I agree we should play with offensively and that we are doing well in the mercato. Now we need to get organized well and play as we demonstrated against Genoa.”
“If I expected a return with Mancini? One always tries to be ready. There was a problem with Mazzarri, then everything went well with the change. Now I have to repay the faith. What has changed with Mancini? The workouts are different, with much more intensity. Today we were not on our game, but with Genoa we were. Shaqiri? The start is never easy, but today he made good moves. He’s fine physically and wants to make a contribution.”
