The Udinese tactician has confirmed that the Friulani veteran striker would be featuring in the match against AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, despite age being a barrier for Di Natale.
The Zebrette centre-forward has made it a point not to play more than once in a week throughout the course of the season, even when the Friulani outfit were playing in the
Europa League. During Europa League weeks, Di Natale featured in Europe and sat on the bench in the Serie A matches. However, with the season drawing to a close and with the stakes so high, the absence of a player of Toto’s quality could be detrimental for
the Bianconeri.
Guidolin was talking to the press in lieu of their midweek clash against AS Roma, and stressed on the physical demands of the player's because of more than two matches in
a week. He further commented:
“I spoke to
Totò. Clearly three games in seven days are heavy going for everyone, especially someone who is not that young anymore, but he reassured me. He is in good shape and will play all three.”
Guidolin, who was awarded the Serie A Coach of the season, further went on to state that even though his men were able to overcome Parma in their last fixture of the Serie
A, they need to be prepared for the threat posed by the Giallorossi. The Zebrette coach regards the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 as one of the finest teams in the Serie A, who will be out to prove a point after their weekend loss against Lecce.
Despite his regard for the capital outfit, he conceded that Luis Enrique’s men have not been the most consistent side in the league, however they have secured some impressive
victories which is enough for Guidolin to rectify any complacency going into the match.
Udinese currently sit in the fourth place and are eyeing for a place in the premier European competition, the UEFA Champions League, to which Guidolin commented:
“This is a challenge for European places in general. Qualification for international tournaments is a very important objective. We are there and intend to stay in that zone
as long as possible, as we have done since the start of the season.”
The Friulani are three points adrift of third-placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 and need to put pressure on the Biancocelesti to keep their Champions League dream alive.
