Venice, Cheryshev: “I feel a great responsibility to the team and the fans”

Russian striker Denis Cheryshev recently returned to full strength with Paolo Vanoli’s squad after a seven-day hiatus with a hamstring injury, and was promptly rehired by a coach who decided to test him as an attacker as well. midfielder. Preparing for the home match with Brescia of the 29th round of the Serie B championship of the 2022/23 season, Cheryshev commented on his form and his expectations.

“In Frosinone, unfortunately, we were not able to express our game and show our game. We suffered from their speed in the counterattack, left much to be desired in the attack, and we must take responsibility for this. It would be difficult to resist the first in the standings, who deservedly takes his position, even without mistakes. During the week, the coach and I analyzed our shortcomings, worked to eliminate them.

Despite the break due to injury, I feel very good from a physical point of view and I am ready to help my teammates in every possible way, adapting to the coaching requests and the needs of the team: physiotherapists and sports coaches for the attention they paid to me. I felt very good in the role I had at Bari, advanced enough to allow me to move freely and have an impact in attack. More than pressure and expectations, I feel responsible for this team, this club and these fans who have given me great confidence.

When I arrived this summer, I saw first hand what I already knew: Italian football, and in particular Serie B, requires excellent physical shape, it is a difficult league. Paradoxically, I believe that the forced break due to injury helped me, now I feel in my best shape to contribute to the most difficult moment of the season. We’re doing a great job in training, we need to better translate that into results on the pitch, we’ve played well too many times without scoring a single point and that’s a trend that needs to be reversed.”
