Atalanta, Nicola Zalewski: “I liked the team’s reaction, there was a clear change in energy”

The former Roma winger, Nicola Zalewski, spoke at the press conference at the end of the match against Napoli, which ended with a 3-1 result. Here are his words, as reported by TuttoAtalanta.com:

On the team’s reaction

“In the second half, we saw more brilliance and more clarity. We changed formation, we played with a target striker, and I think that’s exactly what we were missing in the first 45 minutes: someone up front who could hold the ball, who could withstand contact with their defenders. I liked the team’s reaction, there was a clear change in energy.”

On the Champions League

“It’s fundamental. We knew today would be a very tough match, in this stadium and against this team. Now we have to reset immediately: starting tomorrow, we’re already thinking about Wednesday’s match, because it’s a decisive step for our season. Winning in Germany would be hugely important to regain enthusiasm and consistency.”

On the new coach and the stadium

“The atmosphere at the Maradona is always incredible, it overwhelms you. As for the coach, Palladino has had very little time to work with the whole group: I myself have only had two or three training sessions with him. But you can immediately sense freshness, clear ideas, attention to detail. We’ll have the chance to fine-tune what didn’t work, to correct the details. From tomorrow, we’ll already be working towards Wednesday.”
