Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin believes that the Zebrette’s match against Sassuolo on Wednesday could prove to be a challenge .
The Zebrette, who are coming off of a 1-0 loss to Roma over the weekend, will be heading to the Stadio Citta del Tricolore to face the Neroverdi and the tactician admits that they could be missing some key players, including Antonio Di Natale.
Guidolin spoke during a press conference on Tuesday about the loss to the Giallorossi while also commenting on the condition of some of his players.
“Roma? It’s a loss, however, it was also a positive performance,” said the 58-year-old. “But this is also part of the game.
“We expect a difficult match against Sassuolo. I know the environment of the newly promoted team will be tough, as Sassuolo want to hold on to their spot in Serie A.
“Turnover? I’m only thinking of the match against Sassuolo and therefore not to turnover.
“I’ll consider very carefully who to take onto the field tomorrow night.
“We’ll see if [Zeljko] Brkic can make it. [Luis] Muriel? He can definitely improve more on the pitch.
“We’re playing again after only a few days, so I’m mainly focused on the motivational aspect. We must play how we did against Roma.
“Di Natale? I’m thinking whether to use him or not due to these matches being played so close together.”
The coach then talked about former Udinese striker Antonio Floro Flores, who’s now playing for the Neroverdi.
“The quality of Antonio is indisputable,” he continued. “He may also bear a grudge against us.
“However, I fear the whole team.”
