Genoa are mocked by Atalanta in the 94th minute: a goal from Hien decides. It is the second knockout in a row for the rossoblù after the one against Inter. After the match, coach Daniele De Rossi commented on the match in the press conference: “I have nothing to complain about, mistakes are part of this sport. Football is also beautiful for this reason. There was also great organisation, from this point of view it was our best match. I was sorry to remove Martin but I didn’t want to lower myself too much. I wanted to keep the two strikers, also because Vitinha plays three roles. It’s not me who sends signals, but the players: they make me sleep peaceful.”
De Rossi’s words
On the final result, the coach added: “With Atalanta, with ten men, I’m proud to lose like this. This is my team. I’m proud of my players. When no one wanted me, my agents presented me with a video that took clips of Roma-Brighton and Roma-Milan: now I want them to show this match. The goal broke my heart, but I’m sure that this team will celebrate salvation in this wonderful stadium.”
On Sommaria: “He played an incredible match, he saved and played well with his feet. It wasn’t easy to get out on the goal, there were a lot of people in front of him. It wasn’t easy for him to enter a match like this, he always trains hard. Under the Nord I thanked him, not heartened him, because he was one of the best. Roma? A particular match for me, I will prepare it coldly but I won’t be able to guarantee the effect of the Olimpico, I won’t be indifferent. I will represent Genoa with great pride and commitment”.
