How is the team?

Can you tell us some anecdotes about Koopmeiners?
“Nothing strange. He is the player and the person I expected. He is a man who conveys a lot in everyday life and helps his teammates. He gets himself into trouble for his teammates, and maybe he wouldn't do it, he would also fit something that no one sees. And he does it because he feels it and wants to win. Tomorrow he returns to a place where he did well and won great performance have no Bremer, Cabal, Conceicao, Milik, we see. Dusan later.
On Gasperini? How much has his game evolved?

I remember a very demanding coach, always on the attack, he wanted to see the team play well, which was attacking and still is. Atalanta is that.” a team that attacks, something changes with the three attackers. It also depends on the opponent. He remains a great coach.”
Can we speak of a crisis?

It is right not to be happy, but we We have to be positive, the work is the right thing and we have to improve many things to achieve victory, that's why we work.”
On Jildiz?
“When he plays on the right he does very well, just like on the left. He also did well in the middle against Cagliari in the cup. He is a man who is growing very quickly. I am very happy, but he has to develop improve.” the defensive phase where he has to be more decisive in some tackles. He's a very young guy, he's growing fast for the moment we're going through today.
“I'm very happy, I already said it after Torino. He has great quality, he has to improve a lot of things, especially in the defensive phase, where he has to be more aggressive. He is moving forward. He has won some tackles. has 1 v 1 he scores goals. In that part of the field we have seen that when he jumps past the man and puts the ball in the area, he is accurate and dangerous, and in addition he is always present, regardless of his age A It's important for him, but also for the team We can count on him.”
About Douglas Luiz's position?
“We chose to leave him lower to give Thuram more freedom. But he has already done and can alternately move up, which is what Locatelli does. He made his first start in a long time, he had to be managed in his efforts to can perform.” maintain the level for ninety minutes. He can also do it in a different way.”
Do you think you made mistakes?
“We certainly made mistakes because in many games we could have won and we didn't. And it means we have to give a little more. I repeat: we are the first to be angry when we don't win, we do also.” this work, this work, to prepare ourselves as best we can for the reward of achieving victory. This is the big goal. We could do very well at times, while at times we struggled to win the game. At the moment we need to recover to continue the race and stay in the Champions League zone some points.”
