Udinese coach Gabriele Cioffi has said that the match against Inter will be very difficult but his team will be aiming to win, according to a report in the Italian media today.
Speaking during an interview with Corriere dello Sport today, the Udinese boss did not play down the task that his team faces at the Dacia Arena on Sunday evening as they know that Inter will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
“A very difficult match. But recently I don’t remember any easy ones: Fiorentina are playing for the European spots, Salernitana are playing to stay up.”
When it was pointed out that Udinese have power over the title race in this match, Gabriele Coffi focused on the fact that his team wants to win and that is the main focus.
“We always try to win. I like winning. I like reading, but not for too long. I like listening to music, but not so much. I love winning because it’s difficult. In Florence too, we and they played well. Fiorentina could have scored but instead Udinese scored. We were freer with our heads, more ready. Football is simple.”
Pushed on whether football really is a simple game anymore, the coach explained that no matter how you set up your team, errors could always be made.
“There are coaches who shape the team in their own image and likeness. There will be all around the world. The others must read the human material of the squad and find the best way to use it.
“On this basis you can experiment, or not. I realise that, whatever approach you choose, there is always errors lurking.”
He also explained that above all, he wants his team to play in an aggressive and proactive manner.
“We try to attract the opposing team, and then go deeper to look for space. This on a tactical level. If we talk about principles, I ask my players one thing above all: that those who look at us rejoice. I like a proactive, aggressive football, guided by a logic that is mine.
“You go out on the pitch not only for the goals, but above all to make your mark. I want the blood to spit on the pitch and that at the end, none of those who paid to watch the game can tell you anything bad.”
