Luciano Spalletti’s words

Luciano Spalletti spoke after in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16: “I am very satisfied with the performance, we played with personality from the start, managing the challenge and taking it to where we wanted. We played a great game even though we could have also scored one more goal, but it’s okay because as a mature team we reasoned without risking taking goals.”

“For me, qualification is always 50-50 because anyway the return match has to be played. It takes the utmost humility because presumption becomes an enemy and matches can change for an episode at any time.”

“In this challenge we did not have to let them command the game because it would have become dangerous to become some spaces, we were good at jumping on them immediately after losing the ball. An immediate aggression designed not to let them find their tactical order, we did it well and it gave us advantages,” Spalletti concluded.
