The interviews. We hear the coach on our microphones Francesco Modestoof Atalanta, who commented on his team’s match like this. “This evening we started a little tight and conceded the goal after a few minutes. We suffered at the beginning because we were playing against a team well led by Mr. Baldini who, having entered the race, took his team from the play-out zone to the play-offs. A team made up of players I know well and of category. After the goal conceded the boys immediately recovered to equalize and then we took the lead from a set piece to end the first half with the lead. In the second half I saw a much more attentive and compact team and with the spaces they gave us we were good at exploiting them. Now we have to think about Saturday. The competition becomes more and more demanding and on Saturday we will face a team well coached by Donati. Now let’s try to recover as best we can because it will be crucial for us to move forward in the national phase”.
