Bonera: We are working very hard but this is the start that we need to face the season in the best of ways. Everyone is very keen and we are working really well. Obviously we cannot repeat a season like last year. We all know Pippo and we know that he is full of energy, just like when he used to come off the bench or when he was playing the Champions League, he was an extremely important player and now he is passing that desire and energy down to us as a coach. As a coach he is very well prepared, and from day one he knew what he wanted to achieve. The boss has made it very clear what rules we need to stick by and the preparation we are undergoing is quite intense. It is harder but the ball is always a part of training. We do the harder work towards the end of the training session so that everyone follows a specific training regime based upon what they managed in the morning. Pippo has some very offensive ideas and I think he wants to get the team playing well again, something that has been a little missing in the last few years. Pippo's training methods have been a pleasant surprise, I understood instantly that he was very well prepared. We are trying to create a group that has a strong sense of belonging, we have to be good at getting the players that come from other championships well involved, even from other cultures. The team will have a lot of time during the week to prepare the games so there can be no excuse. Even with Seedorf there was dialogue, I didn't speak so much to Allegri but there was a lot of respect and I was comfortable. Pippo, this being his first year, obviously tries to talk to the experienced players a little more. It is a little strange to see Pippo as coach but the roles are very seperate. As a player I celebrated and suffered with Pippo. I call him 'mister' (boss) because it is important to respect different roles, we all have to understand that he is the coach now.
