The coach after the 0-0 in the Champions League: “Sooner or later we’ll break the deadlock. Scamacca? We have to insert him well”
Third consecutive draw at home for Atalanta, who stumbled in front of the Slavia Prague defense and brought home the second 0-0 in a row after three days. “Between today and Lazio we had 15 opportunities for goals, in every way: it’s positive to create them because it means that the players are well, but things go like this in front of us, we’re not able to score goals” says Ivan Juric to Sky, but trying to look at the positive side: “Sooner or later we’ll get unstuck,” he says, “that’s why I’m not worried, certainly disappointed, because you do things at a high level, you concede little, you create a lot and you don’t score, but you sad because you don’t win.”

Scamacca was back on the pitch after fifty days: he also had two chances in the final to break the deadlock. “We’re talking about a great talent, after more than a year of not playing we have to insert him well. He’s not at the highest level.” Words for Krstovic, who twice missed the 1-0 shot in the first half: “I feel sorry for him because he is doing so many positive things and is having bad luck. What would have happened with Retegui? There’s no point in thinking about the past, let’s look forward. Even with Lookman, we served him 4-5 times between ‘third’ and ‘fifth’ but we weren’t able to score a goal.”

“We have to remain clear in the analysis continues Juric -, we shoot 40 times in two games. I would be more scared if we didn’t create anything”, adds the coach. “We created the scoring situations we had thought of”, then the details are missing, such as “Krstovic who takes a position from three meters and then doesn’t score, or De Ketelaere who had a great game and I hope he unlocks himself soon. I see him with a different energy on the pitch”.
