“We need to understand why the player refuses to play. The first thing I asked by President and Buffon is: Anyone coming to Coveciano must stay, even if they have a simple issue.

“We have everything in place to treat them. To be reliable and avoid excuses. If the player is called, it remains in Coverciano, just as when you played. If we cannot get it in good health, they return to their club. What matters more to spend time together. Players usually keep slight injuries when playing 50 or 60 games annually, but we cannot start developing serious repercussions.

“There are always difficult moments on the field, if someone does not run the extra courtyard, it will become difficult. We need to change this mentality. We must be able to speak difficult facts with each other. We can only grow in this way.”
