Udinese-Venezia: Runjaic asks for maximum effort to win

About the opponent, "we studied them and the first leg is a warning: Venezia is a team with good potential that will do everything to save itself this year, we will have to provide a collective performance, I don't want to talk about individuals or the starting lineup. If we approach the match as we worked during the week, then we can play a good game".

The German coach also made an analysis of how he decides the tactical module: "We got 10 points with the 3-4-2-1 and we got fewer points with the 3-5-2, but in the first leg we won against Como, with them missing a penalty in the last minute, and against Bologna we didn't do well in possession, and Lazio could have equalised in the final stages. I can't just look at the result. It's easy to talk about statistics and formations, but that doesn't work in football, we got 10 points with the initial formation, but we didn't rest on our laurels, it was a great start, but those 10 points aren't everything".

"To get results, the team must be focused right from the start, aggressive, this counts much more than the modules, sometimes we exaggerate in observing the modules - he concluded -, we must look at who goes on the pitch, we can change the module, we can talk about it, but we must first ask ourselves: did those who took to the pitch give their all? I have my responsibilities, but it is the team that must then respond on the pitch".
