| Cesare Prandelli never had the chance to Coach Roma in a Serie A game and returns to the Olimpico as an opponent in charge of Fiorentina.
“I had the good fortune to experience a relaxed and happy pre-season campaign with this club. Unfortunately, I had to walk away,” said the tactician. “This match has many hidden dangers. We saw the tapes of their first half performance against Juve and it was very impressive, but they paid the price for a distracted 10 minutes. We’ll be taking on some great players.” “I sincerely hope I won’t be facing Cassano,” smiled Prandelli. “He is a remarkable talent who can turn a game from one moment to the next. I’d say the same about Francesco Totti, who is the best Italian player. Roma want to win this match and so do we.”
“Toni is getting used to the pressure and has the ability to joke about his situation, so he’s just like anyone else in the locker room. I sometimes tell players that they have every right to think themselves great, but always remember to analyse their capabilities within the framework of a team. There is a relaxed atmosphere here in Florence and they are becoming friends.”
凯撒·普兰德利没有尝试过带领罗马征战意甲的比赛,但是他却带领佛罗伦萨作为罗马的队手来到了奥林匹克球场。 “我有幸带领罗马度过了一段愉快的季前集训时光,但是不幸的是,后来我不得不离开。”这位战术大师说 “这场比赛存在很大风险。我们已经看过了罗马对尤文的比赛录像,他们上半场的表现给人印象深刻,但是他们为十分钟的疏忽付出了代价。届时我们会派上一些相当有实力的球员。” “坦诚地说,我不希望碰到卡萨诺,”普兰德利微笑着说,“他是一个能够改变一场比赛结果的天才。托蒂也是,他是意大利最好的球员。罗马想赢,我们同样也是。” “托尼已经习惯于各种压力,并且他能将压力转化为幽默,所以在更衣室晨他和其他人没什么区别。有时我和球员们说‘你们有权把自己想象得很伟大,但是记得要在为球队整体服务的前提下来评估自己的实际能力’。佛罗伦萨有轻松的氛围,球员们都是朋友。” |
