Atalanti head coach Raffaele Palladino shared his emotions after the crushing victory over Juventus (3:0) in the quarter finals of the Italian Cup.
“I am so grateful to the guys, the club and all our wonderful patients. We dedicate it to them and we will overcome, even the stadium is like a boiling cauldron and it’s suffocating us. It's a wonderful and enchanting evening. Whose tournament we want to go all the way to the end.
Today they acted cold-bloodedly when necessary, and defended themselves reliably when necessary.. The soldiers who replaced them showed the right attitude, which played a major role. I can pay out insurance for all the boys and still keep quiet.
I will fight with the strength and violence of Juventus. We were up against Luciano Spalletti, one of Italy's greatest coaches. Don’t forget that during the remaining months we gained a lot, so this success is even more valuable to us.
Tse bula is unbalanced gra, we need to know that we have little chance to move forward. I deserve the same kind of open matches. At the break I asked the boys that I didn’t want the stink to go away a little deeper, otherwise they wanted to attack. And it suits me better.
We needed to rediscover the Atalanti DNA.
This is a group of dedicated guys, they are all working hard to achieve results in three tournaments. We know that this has been a difficult month for Serie A, the Champions League and the Italian Cup..
Now I'm looking forward to showing maturity in the upcoming match against Cremonese. We often show our best performance in important matches, and then we play below our capabilities against teams that might compromise us on the paper, but not on the field.. If we can’t keep trying anymore, then the end will come if we try our best,” Palladino said.
