Giuseppe Pezzella doesn’t hide his satisfaction with the win at the Dall’Ara against Bologna: “I’m satisfied with the match”. Moreover, the Nerazzurri winger got five stitches above his lip and broke a tooth after a clash with De Silvestri that Pezzella commented on.

Giuseppe Pezzella, how satisfied are you that you won this match thanks to a late goal scored by debutant Cisse?

“I’m very satisfied with the match. It was a very tough match. We knew Bologna were a tough team. We’re very happy that the young lad Cisse broke the deadlock. I’m very happy for him.”

You gave everything on the pitch, perhaps even more. You fought hard until the end. This Atalanta side is present in every respect.

“Yes. In training, too. We did our best in everything. You can win, you can lose. But you always have to have the right mindset.”

Giuseppe Pezzella fought hard, too. Five stitches and a broken tooth.

“Yes, five stitches and a broken tooth. I’m asking myself how come the referee didn’t award a penalty, or at least he could consult the VAR. I think it’s unacceptable. But, unfortunately, this thing keeps on happening to us match after match. Well, no big deal, what can we do anyway?”

You won. This is important and this is what matters, as, especially, you’re going on the international break with three more points and the Europa League qualification. That will allow you to work with calmness.

“Yes, of course, We qualified and won the match. So, the break arrives at the right time, we’ll be calm and serene. Even if it will be four of us training in Zingonia. Plus the goalkeepers that make it five. It’s fine. We’ll have ten calm days. And then we’ll jump into the final sprint of matches in the league and the Europa League.”
