“After two defeats we found balance and solidity” MONZA (ITALPRESS) – A goalless draw in Bologna at this point in the championship is no small feat. Raffaele Palladino knows this well, also because his Monza team came from two defeats, and he is equally aware that the next match will have a degree of difficulty no less than that of Dall’Ara. “We have found balance and solidity after two defeats. In this second part of the championship we have recorded good results. Now we have Atalanta, a strong team, we know that we will have to play a perfect match”, explains the red and white coach. Gasperini’s team is fresh from the feat against Liverpool, eliminating Klopp’s “reds” is a great result as is the semi-final of the Europa League.
“Monza is very prepared for tomorrow’s match, we have the incentive of being able to put a battleship in difficulty, an Atalanta team that has everything as demonstrated by the progress they are making, they will put us in difficulty, but we are able to respond” , explains Palladino who says about the team’s poor feeling with the opposing goal: “Football is made up of transitions, defensive and offensive, the goals come from here. We work on it during the week, tomorrow we know that we will meet a team that has a lot of ball possession, but we will play our game.” Zerbin’s latest performances have been good, having arrived in January from Napoli. “He is a very good footballer, he was out for a month, but in recent weeks he has found a place in the team and is constantly growing, not only him, there is also Maldini who has found his game again. Caprari is back, we will have to wait a week to get it at most, but we are happy to have found it again.” According to Palladino, his Monza must “improve in everything, on counterattacks, on winning the ball back, we must be faster”. Soon for the balance sheets and to talk about the future, but Palladino is very clear about one thing: “I know I’m lucky, I found a great company, I’m very ambitious and I’m always looking for something more to achieve ever more important goals”. Final comments on the players available: “Dany Mota hasn’t recovered, Ciurria and Machin are out. Caprari and Bettella won’t be called up, D’Ambrosio and Vignato will be there.” – Photo: Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS). pfr/xd6/ari/red 20-Apr-24 13:43 .
