His words: “It will be very difficult. I can’t remember seasons this troubled by injuries.”

Roberto D’Aversa, coach of Empoli, spoke to Sky reporters prior to the match against Roma. These were his words:

On Roma and the team with many changes. “Nothing changes. Roma has the luxury of doing so, without considering it as a simple task. Among the titled ones, there are players who play often. “Roma has achieved great things by 2025, ultimately clinching a victory in Europe. It will be very challenging.”

The Crisis of Empoli? “I don’t recall seasons so fraught with injuries. Maleh was one of the fittest, we must focus on who is available. Those who are absent can’t make an impact on our results.”

On Silvestri’s choice. “He played a tremendous game, the error is one incident, it happens, the important thing is to react and I hope he shows it today. “It happens to the great champions, it can also happen to him. He must provide consistency in his performance.” D’AVERSA TO DAZN

This may not be the easiest match to catch up with those ahead, but it’s possible. “Compared to how we started, our positioning in the standings is not great, we knew from the beginning what our championship would be like. Despite currently facing one of the best performing teams of 2025, along with the high spirits of the Athletic, the primary task at hand is to believe that they can achieve results against a team like Roma. If we don’t harbor this belief, achieving results becomes a challenge. “We must focus on our own journey, not on others.”

“Is Several defections against a team in great shape an advantage which the others have not claimed? I told the boys to stay with their families and not to speculate about others.” Wasting energy then results in loss. We must bring our energy into tonight’s game. A very challenging match ahead, hence there is no room for us to lose energy. “Salvation also comes from achieving results against great teams like Roma.”
