After the defeat against Arzignano, the Atalanta U23 coach, Francesco Modestoanalyzed the performance of his boys in the press conference, highlighting some gaps. “The team was less incisive and inspired than usual. We will try to work on these aspects, because often it is not enough to simply do the homework. We need more resourcefulness and desire to do things,” said Modesto, highlighting the need for a more aggressive approach against well-organized defensive teams.
The coach underlined the importance of a change in mental attitude: “In matches of this type, spirit – he added -, attitude and desire to work are fundamental. You can’t just focus on your technical qualities; you need determination and concentration to overcome opponents who close in a lot”, he concluded.
