Francesco Modestocoach of Atalanta U23, commented in the press conference on the 5-2 success against Lecco: “We played against a team that is 89 years older, the boys were very good from the first to the last minute. At 2- 3 there is a clear offside, but they are not upset in the slightest: they are physically well, they ran and fought on all the second balls. Lecco aimed to stay in the upper levels and last year they were in B: it’s one a valuable team with quality players, we must not minimize such a resounding victory.
The team is very young, we are doing something really beautiful. We have surpassed the points of the last first round, but the path counts more: when you come from two defeats in a row the handbrake can come on, the victories help them to play and accept the duels. The process must also be followed through defeats, because those are useful for learning: today they were going strong, they give me maximum availability and we rotated I think 40 players in 19 games”, the words reported by colleagues from LeccoChannelNews.it.
