“This squad has important qualities and I already knew that,” said the Coach who took over from Zdenek Zeman last week.

“I was pleasantly surprised by the attitude of the lads. This team doesn’t deserve to be in its current position, but these are the results they got on the pitch.

“Chievo are a difficult side to face, as they are tough, well-organised and fight with determination on every ball.

“They also have strikers like Alberto Paloschi and Sergio Pellissier, so we must do well to limit their influence on the game.

 

“Will Chievo be sated by their safety? I don’t think so.”
