Hakan Calhanoglumatch winner of the match against Arsenal which Inter won 1-0, spoke to the microphones of the US broadcaster CBS interviewed by former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel.

The Turk was asked about his thoughts at the moment of the penalty kick that gave his team the three points, with his Nerazzurri score now talking about 19 penalties converted out of 19 kicked: “When the referee was hearing the VAR I I immediately just tried to focus on myself and on that moment, the penalty is always 50/50, it’s never easy to score. For me it’s important to maintain these numbers, now I’m 19 out of 19 and I want to get even higher.”

Great win for Celtic. The Scottish team beat Leipzig 3-1 yesterday and now has 7 points in the Champions League standings at the halfway point. These are the words of manager Brendan Rodgers to UEFA.com: “It was an exceptional team performance. We knew we were playing against a top-level team in every aspect: speed, power and technique but we were very good. We started well but they scored after 20′; it took us some time to get going again, then we gained confidence after the equaliser.

Throughout the match we showed intensity, pressure and aggression. We did a lot of good things without the ball and this gave us a chance to show our qualities. If after the Dortmund match we had said that we would have taken four points between Atalanta and Leipzig, people wouldn’t have believed us. The players showed great maturity: I thought we could combine the defensive performance against Atalanta and the attacking enthusiasm of the match against Slovan Bratislava (5-1 win). We managed to combine everything and produce a great performance.”

The Fiorentina coach Raffaele Palladino spoke to Sky Sports before the match against APOEL in the Conference League: “It’s not difficult to keep our feet on the ground. The team is mentalized and is well, they want to compete in all competitions but we are aware that we haven’t done anything yet. We are here with the awareness of facing a good team, we want to put in a good performance.”

What do you expect from the players and the turnover?
“For me, turnover doesn’t exist, there is a squad and there are very important players. Tomorrow I will put the best lineup and whoever takes the field will do well, with motivation. I expect a great attitude, mentality and hunger, which must never be lacking” .

The eighth consecutive victory could arrive… Did you expect it?
“I honestly didn’t expect such a change, an incredible maturity of the boys. It was all very fast and everything was very beautiful, an incredible alchemy was created, there is incredible magic in the locker room. The team works well, it’s she pays attention to everything and takes care of herself well even off the field, we didn’t do anything, I want to maintain the humility that distinguishes us after having overcome a negative period at the beginning.”

What do you fear about the stadium and APOEL?
“They are a team that has won many championships and has a very good coach. A team with good technique, which dribbles and has individuality. Then the pitch factor, there will be many spectators. We will have to be ready.”

Andrea Mandorlini, coach and former footballer, spoke to the microphones of TMW Radio during the transmission To All C:

Are Padua and Vicenza the favourites?
“For me Padua and Vicenza are the favorites and for me they will fight it out until the end together with Feralpisalò”.

What do you think of the Trapani president’s statements?
“I read the statements a bit. I don’t know him but I know he is a character who says what he thinks. They are entrepreneurs used to winning. Now the championship is very long. He is putting significant pressure on us and the team must be strong both on the pitch and in the head.”

On the situation in Triestina? Has any mistake been made?
“Trieste is an important place. I don’t like it and it’s difficult to make judgments from afar. Surely, however, mistakes were made. Even there, even if it is not Vicenza or Catania, the pressures are there. To be last like this after 13 races certainly shows that gross mistakes have been made. I don’t understand how anyone can say that good performances were achieved.”

You have coached in both Serie C and Serie A. Where does the coach matter most?
“In general, for me in Serie C the value of the players is very equal between the teams and therefore the coaches matter a lot. For me in C it is more important than in higher categories.”

What are your thoughts on how the defensive department has changed over the years?
“Football is moving more and more towards the gaming aspect. It must be said, however, that the top two in Serie A have the best defences. It’s a law: to win championships you have to defend well. From an individual point of view, I think the youth sectors are important.”

The Carrarese midfielder, Leonardo Capezzi, spoke to the microphones of our official channels, describing his feelings regarding the last championship match and Carrarese’s next commitments.

On the last championship match:
“We faced a team that was not only very strong from a technical point of view, but also well trained and athletically prepared, also returning from an excellent period of form, as certified by their positioning in the standings, constantly at the top of the rankings since the start of the championship . In this sense, I think there should be satisfaction in having snatched a point from a team that could have represented a treacherous obstacle in our path in the championship.
We took to the field with the right mentality, believing right from the start that we could play a match that was up to par and on par with our opponents. However, we were able to propose the race plan prepared during the week and in some situations we could even have prevailed to obtain the full result.”

His personal and team performance so far:
“I am satisfied with my season so far, as I am with the attitude with which the team is approaching this season. Since the summer we have been aware of the difficulties we could encounter during a very challenging championship, given our inexperience as a team in such a high level category, but, despite this, we managed, after an initial adjustment phase, to reach a certain squareness and balance.
Since I started playing football, daily work and sacrifice have been my mantra and it is important that the same applies to my teammates too, we have ample room for growth, but improvement always goes hand in hand with hard work work and sacrifice accompanied by a healthy passion that must push us to give more and more.”

The next match, against Modena at the “Bglia”:
“All the matches that await us between now and the end of the championship represent difficult obstacles to overcome, since this category is made up of only very strong teams, furthermore, Modena, in addition to having a squad of players with a high level of quality, with many players even accustomed to playing on Serie A pitches, he has recently changed coach and the environment will tend to coalesce with the team so it wouldn’t surprise me to find an atmosphere with important competitive tones. For our part, we will have to take the field aware of our qualities, respecting our opponents but without being afraid to impose our mark on the match, in search of important points.”

The captain of Inter Lautaro Martinez spoke to the official channels of the Nerazzurri club to comment on the beautiful 1-0 victory against Arsenal on the 4th matchday of the Champions League: “The clean sheet is an important thing, zero goals conceded at this level means a lot even if We need to improve in the championship. Today I’m satisfied with the match, we got to 10 points and that was the important thing.”

How do you explain the difference between the championship and the Champions League in defense?
“It’s a question of the head. This competition is very important, but this desire to defend must also be there in Serie A.”

Napoli is coming, what are you afraid of?
“We know that we are facing a team that has important players and a coach who prepares these matches very well. We must recover our physical strength, on a mental level this match gives us a great boost. We must respond on Sunday.”

Preview of the 12th matchday of Serie A, this evening at Marassi fra Genoa and Como. An important match for both teams, given the many injuries on both sides and the need to score points.

Gilardino’s words
“It will be a complicated match for the opponent we face. Como maintains great ball possession in every match, they played a great match against Napoli. They are a team with precise DNA, a difficult team to face. We know that We have to be in the match and put in sacrifice and quality. Mario is continuing his work and today, after preparing for the match, he stopped to do something more in his body, but he is happy and willing.

Fabregas’ words
“Genoa is a strong team from a physical point of view and plays an offensive game with quick vertical movements. After the victory in Parma they will also want to win within friendly walls. For us it will be a difficult match that we will have to face with the utmost attention and put on the pitch that hunger and competitive aggression that we have lacked in the last few matches. Mister Gilardino is working very well, he has brought Genoa to Serie A and this means a lot. Van Der Brempt is better but it is not yet decided whether Sergi will be able to be there tomorrow Roberto won’t be there and we’ll see if he can be available with Fiorentina but I think he will be ready with Monza. Maxi Perrone suffered a bad blow in the match against Verona, he has a hematoma, and his recovery won’t be short, Maxi is a player. very important player for us. Baselli also has problems and should return after the championship break, Mazzitelli has a calf problem and won’t be there in Genoa and we’ll see how it goes for Gabrielloni who had a problem in Empoli.”

There Florentine he doesn’t want to stop dreaming and after 7 consecutive victories comes the match at APOEL Nicosia to continue the streak. Palladino’s men lose Moise Kean, who remained in Florence to treat an ankle problem, but find Pongracic back in the group.

Palladino’s words
“The identity has been found, this is a very beautiful moment for us. It took us a while to find the automatic mechanisms, then there was the transfer market but in the end with matches and training we managed it and this is the dress We’re happy, now we just need to maintain our enthusiasm, work well and be hungry because Cataldi isn’t called up and we’re happy, he worked well during the week tomorrow, I haven’t decided on the lineup yet. Richardson did well in Turin, Adli has played less recently due to some problems, then there’s Bove. He had a sprained ankle in Lecce and he took it with him he gritted his teeth and was a great man who always made himself available, he was a bit uncomfortable these days and we preferred to preserve him.”

Comuzzo’s words
“For me it’s a beautiful moment, I didn’t expect it at all. But now I’m here and I’m trying to give my best to help the team and stay there. Marking is one of my characteristics, I always try to bring out my best qualities. A good player is one who tries to limit his flaws, so enhancing his marking is what I need to do well and help the team.”

First place in the rankings makes my mouth water Lazio who are looking for their 4th win in 4 games in the Europa League against Porto. A match in which coach Marco Baroni will make a very large turnover, with only 3 players confirmed compared to the starting eleven with Cagliari.

Baroni’s words
“We try to field the team that is best also from the point of view of the energy expenditure of the last matches. Following this logic we will play an important, difficult and beautiful match. We are playing against an opponent of the highest international level, for us it is a real test and we have to face it with a high level performance. With these two matches missing to close a cycle of seven matches in 21 days, my attention, that of the technical and medical staff must be aimed at managing these resources”.

The words of Vitor Bruno
“We face an ambitious team with a very clear identity. It has many solutions, there are changes between Serie A and the Europa League, the individual profile changes but not the team concept. This is why they lost only one match in the last nine, then maybe if Vecino plays rather than Rovella it changes something, just like if Zaccagni or Noslin plays. However, we come here to propose our game and we will try to win.”
