Legrottaglie: “I knew how good Del Neri is”
Atalanta surprised many with its impressive performance at the Olimpico; but not those who really know the man most responsible for the good season of the Bergamo club. Among them, especially Nicola Legrottaglie, who was one of Del Neri's favourites in the miracle years at Chievo. The defender explained as much after the game.
These are his words to Juventus Channel: “I've been warning my team mates all week that it was going to be hard. I know how good Del Neri is; I know his attention to detail and how hard it is to play against his teams. Their forward line up is among the ones that tested us the most, but we managed to be aggressive and determined at the back as needed. Now we must continue like this, maybe trying to win more matches away from home. We're missing the points lost at Parma and Fiorentina, with those points we'd be closer to Inter Milan”.
