A deserved and important victory has been claimed by Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus were defeated 1-0 by the Nerazzurri thanks to Zapata’s winner. All the team delivered an outstanding performance, starting from captain Rafael Toloi: “This victory is for the fans and Bergamo”.
Rafa Toloi, you’ve finally won at Juventus. And what a victory!
“It’s an important victory, isn’t it? I think we deserved it from start to finish. We played very well, both when we had the ball and when we were struggling because it’s okay in a match of this level. We managed to struggle and to defend very well. We know that their players have quality. They have fast players upfront but we did great. We deserved this win, which is important for our position on the table and because of everything that a match against a team like Juventus represents. Winning here again after over 30 years is really special. Obviously, this win is for all our fans, for all the people of Bergamo, who believed in us from the beginning to the end.”
You also had a different playing style today.
“No, we tried to play our game, to play with confidence. We did great from all points of view. And we deserved the win. It was tough. Yes, in the end, the coach made me play as a full back. The important thing is that we all were prepared and knew all we had to do to get a result. In the end, we did manage to do it. We produced a great display. We are really happy but we must keep our feet well on the ground. The league is long. We have many difficult matches ahead. But we want to face all the other matches like we did tonight. This win has given us confidence. And now we have to keep on working.”
