The Dea coach analyzed the match against Cagliari.
Atalanta returns to victory after last weekend’s defeat against Verona and Palladino’s cure is starting to be felt in Serie A too. Here is the Nerazzurri coach’s analysis of the success over the Sardinians.
Palladino’s words
Palladino on continuity: “It was a very important victory, against a healthy team. Cagliari have legs and we had an excellent first half. We could have gone 2-0 and when you leave these games in the balance they are dangerous. They equalized on a beautiful play but I really liked our reaction, especially after seven games in 21 days“.
On Ahanor: “When he came in I told him he would be a central defender and in my opinion he did it well. I liked all the guys who took over“.
On the attack of the Goddess: “I like to motivate the attackers a lot. I try to put them in a position to have as many balls as possible but I want to underline their non-possession phase. If they do well we are more aggressive, vertical and they then play well up front. They have great quality, Scamacca is doing very well and Lookman too. I want to give space to Maldini because he needs to play, given that Ademola is leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations“.
On the rest he will give the team: “I made a table with x wins to do and they took x days off. Rest is essential and they deserved it. They will have three and a half days off to recover“.
