The Udinese midfielder Jesper Karlstrom he commented thus, as reported by the club’s official channels, on the 1-0 success achieved at home against Lecce: “It was important to recover after two defeats. We started the match well but then we did less well, we made mistakes and we didn’t play the game we wanted, there was no movement. It was a strange game, we still created chances. We talked in the dressing room, the second half was our best game but it was important to win we won.
We the players were the first to say that what we did in the first half wasn’t enough. The coach spoke about character and energy, but we all knew that we needed it to win. The second half, even if we weren’t perfect, we showed character. It’s a good thing to have this energy even when it’s not the best day. The coach knew me before, we played against each other many times. But like everyone else, I have to do well every day in training and in matches to start.”
