Berat Djimsiti: “It was fundamental to win”

Crotone-Atalanta post-match interview

The “Ezio Scida” was a difficult pitch, against Crotone Atalanta did not finish off the game despite the several goal chances created, as the Nerazzurri defender Berat Djimsiti stated: “It was fundamental to win”.

“There was so much to lose. We knew it was going to be a difficult match here at Crotone and we also knew that all teams that come here struggle to score and to win the game. I think we did very well in the first half. Then in the second half we did a bit less well, yet we created many chances to score the third goal and finish off the match. We didn’t finished it off, but I believe we held on well”.

In some games they say the important thing is to win. In this case, we can say that three points have arrived.

“The most important thing was to win this match, as it was fundamental for us ahead of the next game and also after the last two matches in the league that we lost. It was important to win again in the league to gain confidence for the next match against Liverpool”.

Exactly, now we’re back to the Champions League, as there’s no break between the league and the Champions League: Liverpool up next.

“Yes, the Champions League is back. We’ll try to recover as soon as possible, we saw that it was a tough game and suffered some physical problems, but we’ll need these two days to recover well and to 100% focus on this match as it’ll be a whole another match. The stakes will be very high in that match and we’re playing at home, so it’ll be important”.
