FLU ATTACK
January 24 2004
Unpredictable at the end of the press conference, when at Trigoria word spread of a slight flu attack to Francesco Totti, caused at the end of morning training. The presence of the captain against Udinese, however, should not be risked. Capello hopes for the best, seeing the unavailability of Vincenzo Montella and the scarce condition of Marco Delvecchio.
Above all because Udinese is not an opponent to underestimate. "They are a very interesting team, from the half field in which they have very technical players, capable of hurting you in speed." One team and a society avant guard, defines Capello. "Because they are able to monitor players from all over the world. Above all the youngsters. Green line to follow? You need to know your objectives, they are in the middle of the standings...."
And despite this the team coached by Spalletti can not be considered as a 'small' team, Capello retains that it's important to underline the match against I friulani, "because in a championship so balanced like this, points against the smaller teams will be considered in the end, perhaps more than points from direct rivals." Therefore, Capello asks from his men maximum attention. "We have to go on the field to win and play with great concentration." It's easy to expect Capello will use the Tridente. "If it doesn't go well I have half-time to modify things."
More than likely the use of three defenders as well, despite the absence of Chivu, not called to the retreat: "Zotti has recovered and even Lupatelli returned to the group, the Romanian instead still has the flu. I won't change the model, the important thing is that the attackers have the will to return in midfield to give a hand."
On the topic of attackers, is Totti better as a trequartista or first striker? "He can do everything and both of those, he can score with his right, left and with his head. At times I think it's right to move he closer to the goal."
And Cassano? "He has creativity and speed." Carew remains. The Norwegian has become a fundamental player for this Roma side. "Because he is physical and is fast, despite his height he's very fast and knows how to dribble. He has already done a lot, but he's young and I expect that he will improve." Closing on Delvecchio: "He needs time, he will become useful right till the end."
