Nations League, Belgium, Domenico Tedesco heaps praise on Italy’Italy
This is what Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco said in the press conference ahead of the Nations League match against the Azzurri: “Italy è a strong team, they play from memory, but not all teams have only strengths. È a team that plays vertically and can hurt, they are doing very well, they beat France and Israel and are in a positive moment. But we will try to field our strengths”.
” These matches help us get to success, these are the matches we wake up for in the morning. It’s time to play it, it's going to be a great match for all of us.I can't hide my love for Italy and it’s the first time I” face it. The Red Devils coach, then, stresses how Belgium has ” tried to turn the page as quickly as possible, because é the European Championships were not what we thought. Now we have some absentees, but there are many promising young people with a new and talented generation, we are happy”, he continues.
Then a quip about Atalantino De Ketelaere who deserves “an opportunity” he is doing very well even in the last few games. He has an important role and he can do it with us as well” while on Lukaku's absence he admits how “he decided not to be here for these two games and there’s a possibility he could return in November. I fully understand the decision, his transfer to Napoli è came late and he hasn't had any preparation so he's not yet at the top. There’è no problem”.
Instead, these are the words of Belgian captain Youri Tielemans: “È always interesting to play against Italian teams, I think he will improve; after this match and è from matches like this you learn. Nations League? For some players maybe not è the priority, but the fact that we can play matches like these gives us great motivation. We are here and we want to play”.
The Aston Villa midfielder, then, on his role as captain stresses that he “accepted with great pride. I am happy with what we have achieved, I have a bronze medal at home and è a great achievement. But everyone has to take responsibility, on the field we have to talk to each other” while on the defeat against France and the controversy that followed he admits that we did not “play the way we wanted to. De Bruyne said we have to play for each other, it was a message expressing disappointment and he did it to wake us up. We are a young group and he understood that”.
Finally, a thought on Douglas Luiz, now a Juventus player and former teammate at the Villans. “He è a very technical player, he was very important for us. The only thing I can say è that è he is a very high quality player and with work his quality will come out”.

So Alessandro Nesta, Monza coach, on the eve of the match against Como: “It’s an important match for us because it’s been a difficult season, we’ve been missing something. Winning a derby can help put a piece to the season, it would be important, we hope to do well.”
Facing us will be mister Cesc Fabregas who in the conference spoke of a Monza that was difficult to beat and that, net of the standings, put many teams in trouble: “I return the esteem because he plays great soccer, his idea has been seen throughout the championship. I have to congratulate him”.
The derby against the Larians will be the first ever in Serie A at the’U-Power Stadium: “I hope tomorrow will be anyone’s day, anyone who wants to do their best to make history. If you win 1-0, 30 years from now we will remember that derby won because of a player. It’s an opportunity to stay in the history of this club. I would rather win the derby than finish second to last. You are always relegated, but if you win the derby you stay in history”.
Nesta recovers, at least for the bench, Luca Caldirola, Andrea Carboni and Stefano Sensi. “What I try to convey to the players are the difficulties I had. I had surgery 10 times and stopped at 38. All players have difficulties, but it matters how you react to difficulties. It’s easy to tell that I won the Champions League or that I won the World Cup, but you also have to tell that I lost a derby 5-1 and that I left the Olimpico in a helicopter. If you are given up for dead, you have to bring out the fire in you. Would I reconfirm myself next season? No, given the results”.
