On the eve of the match against Bologna, an Italian Cup match valid for the round of 16, Monza coach Alessandro Nesta gave a short interview to the official channels of the Brianza club: “It’s certainly a tough match, a challenge against an opponent who, even if he puts in some second line, is of a high level. It will be tough.”
What would challenging Atalanta in the quarter-finals mean for the morale of this team?
“Morale is important, it would help us move forward to also give a big boost in the championship.”
Will some players who have had less space play tomorrow?
“We have to take advantage of tomorrow’s match both to get through to the next round and to recover the players. It could be an opportunity.”
