00:00 The game was definitely complicated.

00:04 We should have made more precise decisions in the first half,

00:09 without the ball, which we did in the second half, taking some risks.

00:13 But there are two choices, either you wait or you have to take the ball with courage and force and break it.

00:18 In the second half we did it more, we suffered a few restarts, but it's normal that it was like that.

00:23 But it wasn't our best game, technically, in terms of the choices, in terms of the last play.

00:32 We had many situations where we created one on one, where we threw many balls into the area.

00:37 But we didn't have that winning streak, which we had in the last games, especially in the league.

00:42 It was the most obvious chance, but we ended up out of the area, because the opponents were crushed.

00:51 We didn't play very well, but we weren't that precise in the last pass.

00:55 There were some holes that could have led the player to the goal.

00:59 Either because they were good at intervening or we weren't precise enough, we didn't manage to do it.

01:04 Of course we didn't get what we wanted in this game, but it's clear that the next 95 minutes

01:11 will show us a higher level, because I think we still have all our chances to play in the next game.

01:18 We have to play a great game. Roma are playing well, they are in a good shape.

01:22 They have this advantage, but it's not an advantage, and I don't think it's in their mentality to manage the result.

01:29 We are 1-0 up, so we can't manage it.

01:32 It's a very close game, we have to win it.

01:36 I think we have to prepare well, look at the situations that we didn't have as precise and perfect as we wanted.

01:44 We have to improve our performance and then we will have all the chances to play in the next game.

01:49 The result is so clear, yes.

01:51 Liverpool are playing a lot of matches, they are a team that is out of the players' league.

01:57 Atalanta are a strong opponent, and this is a testimony that Italian teams,

02:02 even though they have less investment opportunities than English teams, are growing a lot.

02:06 It's a great result, and I'm surprised by the quality of the result.

02:12 3-0 is over, it's a very important result.
