"We cannot afford to think that in Empoli it will be easier than in Bergamo, I warned the group".

Walter Mazzarri does not trust, for the Castellani challenge he asks his "maximum concentration" because "Empoli plays very well, has an excellent ranking and can play lightly, it is up to us to create problems for them and make our hunger count. of results ".

A Cagliari that in 2022 is doing very well, 10 points in 5 games: "But we have already taken the right path from the away match with Juve before the Christmas break - underlines the coach -. We have to look at the performances, now everyone has noticed our results but we are not allowed to get distracted. In the first leg we left a lot of points on the road, so now we have to race. The latest results should not generate euphoria but energy to make us work better on the details and on the qualitative leap that still needs to be made ”.

In Bergamo “we didn't have a good start, I didn't like the first 20 minutes because we were too passive, but then we woke up. In Empoli we have to start immediately with a proactive spirit ”.

The singles. “Keita is back with his usual enthusiasm, his return is good for the group on a moral and also technical-tactical level because he has different characteristics. He only did one training with us so I have to evaluate how much he can give. Obert? He entered in the best possible way, as everyone should do when they have the opportunity to take the field, from the start or in the race, it is a bet that is won at the moment and for me he is a starter like the other defenders ".

On Lovato he preaches caution: "Let's not talk about it anymore, let's leave him calm and avoid treading too much on his great qualities that we have already mentioned". Baselli: "He still does not have the right rhythm we need at the moment, against Atalanta he entered very well with experience in managing the ball thanks to intelligence and technique, but he must gradually integrate".

Bellanova: “I'm very happy with his growth, now he has to stay on track without getting excited but with the desire to improve above all on a tactical level, I'd like to talk about him at the end of the year to understand where he will be. I have always looked at the pitch and I saw that this guy had the right leg, I'm glad he is proving me right ".
