Marco Carnesecchigoalkeeper ofAtalantaspoke to the microphones of Sky Sports a few minutes before kick-off of the match against Young Boys: “We must not let ourselves be pressured by the pitch, which is still as big as the others. By playing our football, we could direct the match towards our side. It will be a complicated match because they are more used to synthetics than us, we will have to be careful but without being influenced. In this competition all strong teams face each other, we will think about playing our match and then we will take stock. I am very pleased to play in the European cups, they are matches very fascinating.”
