Venice, Javorcic introduces himself: “After relegation, we need to restore the winning mentality”

“I thank the president for the trust he and his partners have placed in me. I would also like to thank FC Südtirol for the wonderful and rich experience we had together, writing the history of the club last season, because it is also a thank you to them. if today I have the opportunity to be here”: at the presentation press conference, according to the club’s official channels, he begins like this Venice coach Ivan Javorcic.

He then continues: “The meeting with President Niederauer was the key to everything, we talked not only about football, but also about what our daily approach and our philosophy of life and work should be. This choice was prompted by the special weight that I felt in the president and his partners, who seemed to me people of great caliber, both professional and human.. The team comes from relegation, then the first goal will be to restore the winning mentality in terms of approach to work, recreate a strong identity for the game and strengthen the feeling with our fans.. Everything that will come will be a consequence of the work ethic on a daily basis.”

Continues: “Venice is a club that, due to its history, must be ambitious: we have to be ready to compete at the highest level in Serie B, which will be very challenging and at the same time very stimulating, with many important squares with goals similar to ours. We have to recreate enthusiasm, motivation, start with human relationships, work on the individual and give importance to everyday life. Starting with these basics, everything else builds over time: it will be a difficult path, but one that we will go through with the right people or those who can fully devote themselves to the project of this club“.

He doesn’t say much about the pitch: “It’s not a question of attack or defense, it’s a team question. Team cohesion depends not only on defense, but also on the community, and the same is true for the effectiveness of the attack. The stages of the game are deeply interconnected with each other, so I am absolutely convinced that everything depends on how you control the ball and possession of the ball. Good defense starts with attack and vice versa, you must be perfect in every phase, in the complexity and globality of the game.

He concludes: “I have been living in Italy for 25 years now and this country is now part of my life both personally and professionally. Split is a city with a great sports culture, which is also associated with Venice since the time of the Most Serene Sim. . to me I hope I can follow in the footsteps of my fellow citizens who have become important coaches such as Juric or Tudor, who are my guide.“.
