It was a draw from two turn-ups against Sassuolo: from one side, there’s the satisfaction from bouncing back in a match that looked bad. From the other side, there’s a little regret about not turning the result around. «The positive side – the Atalanta Primavera coach Massimo Brambilla said – is that, surely, it is a reaction to a weak start. In the end, the result could have been better because if there is a team that tried harder to win, it was ours. Clearly, when you trail in a match, it gets more difficult. But there was surely a reaction that a great team should give».

It’s sad to have an uphill start. «When you start like this, conceding immediately two goals, it gets difficult to bounce back. The boys remained calm, they restarted to play as they can and once they made it all square, we did our best to try to win. Then there’s a need for an episode that can go well and at this moment the others are luckier. We know that we have to work and to continue going in this direction».
