“Quickly made pace with Henry, we believe in salvation”
Venezia is making the most of this break for the national teams to recover physical and mental energy in view of the last part of the season. The lagoons want salvation at all costs, as Mr. Zanetti testifies to the microphones of the “Gazzetta dello Sport”. Here are the words of the coach:
Zanetti on the salvation of Venice
“I will always believe it. By nature I am not a quitter and will be the last to abandon this ship. But I’m sure I’ll get off this ship with the flag like last year when few thought we would get to A. I believe and believe in my players. It is clear that we need to take out all our resources. I see teams that are in our condition and believe in it. We too have a duty to believe in it: it is not a fact, we have the qualities per sentence. In the first leg we did an extraordinary job and we can continue to cultivate the A dream we have won ».
Zanetti on the fixed points of Venice
«Now there is a need for more experienced players, at certain times they have to take the younger ones by the hand who may be afraid and have difficulties. It must be remembered that apart from Caldara and Nani no one has made the A before. The technical project for what concerns the future of Venezia is concentrated, I am thinking of Busio, Cuisance, Ampadu, Tessman and Johnsen, all from perspective. In the short term it takes more charisma. Aramu, Vacca, Ceccaroni had never played in Serie A but they are the center of our team and now they have to bring it to the port ».
Zanetti on Henry
“We spoke immediately in the evening after the fight and we both apologized. I for one have not given a great example, it is out of the question. I was wrong out and he on the pitch, when I warned him not to protest because he risked red and there was Spezia at the gates. But among us there is a very high basic esteem, as between father and son. The mistake I made was showing things that always happen in the locker room. But that’s all right. And I think this story has moved something in our souls, because we can enter the field with a different anger and care more about the shirt we are wearing ».
Zanetti on Spezia-Venice
«Well, in the first leg we scored points with teams that were stronger than us. Each race can bring points. Head-to-head matches will be tough, we have to find great mental strength to overcome these opponents. At the end of the season we will draw a line and what we will see we deserved, because the field is always the supreme judge. The truth is that we have plenty of time to decide our destiny and make the history of this club ».
