Andrea Mandorlini looked a bit afflict when he remembered about Novara game: "In the second half we had a wrong attitude, we defended too much. But they've equalized thank to an error of our goalkeeper, we conceded nothing much. This Hellas have never lost, I like this team: I'm very happy of what we're doing".

The manager of Ravenna started in that way his press conference ahead of Varese tie: "We're going to plat against a tough opponent that is in Serie B high positions since years. We have some deflections, lot of injuries, and we're going there with only 19 players included three goalkeepers: the situation is this one but we're ready".

It's difficult to theorize a turnover: "Lot of players will miss the game, so it won't be easy. But we're a strong team, we never give up. Everybody has problems, even in Serie A I saw them clearly. But we must insist, knowing that we're improving day after day".

19 players called up to face Varese

Andrea Mandorlini called up only 19 players for tonight game against Varese.

Andrea Mandorlini, Hellas Verona manager, was disappointed after his team drew against Novara in the last minutes. Here's his comments after the game: "I'm not angry. There were also another team on the pitch and they played a good game. We're not a brilliant team at the moment. I got angry for the last situation (Maietta's shot), we should have won it like we did lot of times last season. But we missed the right stimulus to close the game because Maietta's ball should have seen 3-4 players of us close to head it. They've equalized on an error made by our goalkeeper, it's a pity. We haven't got the right condition for the whole game. We attack in great velocity and then we recover very slow. We're suffering a bit and this is a general condition.We missed two or three times the 2-0 and then they had an interesting ball. It's a pity, I repeat, because they could have scored only in that way. Bacinovic? It's neither a psychological thing or physical, he's an important player and he must give more. Varese? We're only trying to improve, it's not a revenge".

Pagelle, Hellas Verona 1-1 Novara

Rafael 5.5: The Brazilian goalkeeper might be called Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde: amazing in the double save at the end of the first half and then very poor on Alhassan shot. Rafael seemed unsafe.

Abbate 5.5: The best form is far away for the right full back that showed decent things last season. Unfortunately for Matteo, he didn't show what he wanted to do.
