The statements of the Bergamo coach after the defeat on the Napoli pitch: a good second half is not enough
Bitter debut of Raffaele Palladino on the bench of the Goddess. Atalanta falls 3-1 in Naples: the Nerazzurri’s good second half isn’t enough.
Thus the technician: “The game could have been kept open, I took home a positive second half, due to my character and performance. We weren’t able to make it 3-2 to reopen it.”
On the first week of work: “We had little time, we have to work but we have to start again from the courage and performance of the second half.”
He made the difference in the second half.”Scamacca’s weight in attack.” “But all the boys are ‘soldiers’, they have great seriousness and a great desire to get out of this situation. You work with me and the boys know it: this team creates a lot of volume, it needs intensity. We congratulate Napoli and we certainly could have done better with their second and third goals, but I always see the glass as half full. And I hold onto the reaction of the recovery.”
On the choice of Pasalic as starter: I deployed Pasalic from the start to attract them, but we weren’t good at putting him in a position to help us with the dribbling also thanks to the opponents“.
