Pedro Pereira, midfielder of Monzaspoke to DAZN before the match against Udinese, valid for the 15th matchday of Serie A. The player analyzed the team’s moment, focusing on the importance of weekly work and the need to materialize the opportunities created to obtain positive results.
Monza have only conceded 17 goals so far, a better figure than many teams in the safety zone. What is the secret of this defensive solidity?
“It’s the fruit of the work we do every week. Defense is a fundamental aspect, and I think we’re doing well in this sense. Not conceding goals is always important to build positive results.”
Monza also demonstrated quality at an offensive level. How do you rate the team’s performance in attack?
“I have to give credit to the forwards and offensive players we have. We are a really strong team up front too, but unfortunately we don’t always manage to capitalize on all the chances we create. It’s an aspect we need to continue working on.”
What is the key to improving and getting more points?
“I think we have to continue to work both on defensive solidity, to avoid conceding goals, and on effectiveness in attack, to make the most of the opportunities. If we manage to maintain this balance, the points will come.”
