Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin is satisfied with their first-half of the season.

Guidolin's charges ended the year with a 3-2 defeat at Lazio, but the performance impressed their Coach whose side sit in mid-table with 23 points from 17 games.

"I think we actually deserve three or four more points, points that we threw away during the season so far," he said.

"However, we are now more of a team than we were at the start of the campaign, we know each other better and we are growing.

"What do I ask of 2011? That the players continue to improve on a mental and physical level."
