CUPER: "PERUGIA ARE A COMPACT SIDE. BUT I'M SURE MY PLAYERS WON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM."

APPIANO GENTILE - Hector Cuper press conference (4).

Immediately after Crespo's injury, did you think Batistuta might be the right replacement?
Not immediately. Firstly, it was necessary to understand the seriousness of Crespo's injury.

Considering Batistuta's arrival is imminent, do you think Inter have definitively closed the door in Solari's face?
I don't think so, but these are evaluations to be made by the club on the basis of the negotiations with Real Madrid.

What kind of match are you expecting in Perugia tomorrow?
We'll face a compact side with the great ability to concentrate. They've just played a fantastic match at the Delle Alpi against Juve in the Coppa Italia. I like Perugia's game, when they recover balls they move straight into attack with four or five players. It will be a difficult match but I'm sure my players won't underestimate the opponents.
