The AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940, and has suggested that he could play Balzaretti in the right side of defence just like in the Euros.
Zdenek Zeman has stated that the purpose of his pre-season training is to gel the new arrivals with the more experienced players, and is happy with the way things have progressed so far.
The Giallorossi humiliated Austrian outfit Irdning during a friendly game that ended with the score at 13-0, although it was not enough to satisfy the new manager.
Zeman was adamant that there was more that his team could have done, and insisted that the focus of his training is mainly on providing practice for his players on how to play together.
The Czech international expressed his delight at the way things have gone so far in the practice, and insisted that he is satisfied with the performance of the new arrivals at the club.
The Maggica coach praised Balzaretti along with Destro, and also hailed Totti’s numerous assists in the match against the Austrian minnows.
While talking to the press, the 65-year-old said:
“We could’ve done better, but I guess I’m happy. We are trying to learn how to play together. I think we achieved that and we had fun. I am satisfied with the new arrivals. We already knew what Balzaretti could do, while Piris is young and needs to settle
in. Despite the heavy training schedule, Destro moved well. Totti made four or five assists that were really his style.”
Zeman was of the view that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 should look to make play on the field rather than playing too many long balls.
The Giallorossi tactician also stated that he is happy with his attack, but stressed that the players do need to work more on their timing in the offense.
When asked if he will be looking to bring in a right back, the Maggica manager pointed out that Balzaretti has previously played on the right side in Euro 2012, and could continue to do the same at the capital outfit.
“I’m happy with the attack. We just need to find the right timing and movement. Do we need a right-back? Let’s not forget Balzaretti played on the right at Euro 2012.” He added.
