What people are saying
Penso ai punti, perché pensare alla differenza reti significa mandare un messaggio negativo ai giocatori, a cui ho raccomandato umiltà
Un peso che ci carichiamo volentieri sulle spalle, perché ci fa sentire forti e considerati
Ai miei ho detto di dare il massimo e anche di divertirsi. Il calcio è questo. Ma non abbiamo paura, siamo alla terza fase finale di fila in una competizione Uefa
Detto che da voi ho giocato ad altri livelli, l'Atalanta mi pare che prenda qualche gol di troppo. Dobbiamo approfittarne.
