The match against Salernitana ended in a draw, as Atalanta didn’t do better than 1-1 at the Gewiss Stadium. The Nerazzurri only managed to level up the match in the 88th minute, after being in a trailing situation since the half-hour mark. As José Palomino said in the post-match interview: “We wanted to do better”.

José Palomino, Atalanta can no longer win at the Gewiss Stadium.

“It’s true. But we think it has nothing to do with what we haven’t been able to do during matches. We wanted to give a better performance. We didn’t manage to. They [Salernitana] did their part. We weren’t able to break the deadlock, to create chances, to do better. We must keep on working and focus on what has been lacking in order to do the best that we can”.

You said earlier that you didn’t manage to put in the performance you wanted and had prepared.

“Yes, because we take to the pitch thinking to create chances, to open the scoring, and to keep a clean sheet. Today we weren’t able to do it. Of course, we have to improve in many respects. We have a week to evaluate what we can do better and to reflect on what has been lacking”.

It’s one point that changes the league table a bit, anyway, it allows you to catch Fiorentina. All in all, you remain hooked on the European spots.

“Yes, we’ll keep on believing till we have the chance to reach European qualification. The last matches are left to play. We hope to win all of them”.
