Internal ko last night for theAtalanta U23 Of Francesco Modesto in the first leg of the first national round of the Serie C playoffs against Catania (click here to see the highlights of the match). These are the words of the Orobic coach after the match:
“I’m sorry for the attitude I had in the first half. I realize that there was an 88 year difference between the two starting teams and sometimes in matches like these one loses courage a little. I was only angry about this, we made trivial mistakes in the first 20 minutes. I don’t want to see my team like this, they must be courageous like in the second half. It’s a shame, but we have a return match with them and it will be fascinating to do it at Massimino with all the fans.
I think that the team raised their level of play in the second half by finding passing lines more often and showing greater courage. It’s a shame about the goal because it was an action we could have read better. With confidence we now have to prepare well for the next match and play well as we always have.”
