The match against Hellas Verona wasn’t easy but Atalanta proved to be a solid team, came back from behind and won over the Gialloblù at the Bentegodi as well. Giuseppe Pezzella was among the key players of the match, as he provided an assist for Miranchuk, who scored the equaliser: “We are doing very well”.

Giuseppe Pezzella, winning matches like this one, perhaps, gives you even more satisfaction. It was a hard-fought match from start to end. Hellas Verona didn’t give up.

“True, I have to give props to Verona on their performance because they are a great team, arduous and tough to fight against. These kinds of matches make you aware of being part of a solid team, who can struggle, as you could see against Juventus and Napoli, you could see a solid team who sacrifice, who like to make sacrifices altogether. So, I think we’re on the right track.”

It didn’t look like you played on Thursday.

“That’s who we are. We recharge immediately. After the disappointment in the Champions League, we wanted revenge.”

Giuseppe Pezzella, you put in a great performance, too. Moreover, you provided the assist for Miranchuk’s equaliser.

“No, it was him to do everything, I didn’t do anything. He did great. Alex is very good. To my mind, he’s a very serious and organised guy. He did great. I didn’t do anything.”

Giuseppe Pezzella, you’re good and modest as well.

“No, I’m not. I try to do my best for my teammates, for myself. And then what happens, happens.”

Giuseppe, Atalanta have been confirmed to sit in the top spots in League.

“Yes. I think we’re doing very well. But we have to see it match after match. We can’t set any goals yet. We are aware of who we are. We’re doing very well. So, at the end of the year, we’ll draw conclusions.”
