Atalanta win at the Olimpico by beating Lazio 4-1. Marco Sportiello pulled off great saves, one in particular, to give the Nerazzurri the win. Here are the goalkeeper’s thoughts after the Nerazzurri’s second straight away victory out of 2 games: “Excellent match against a very strong team”.

“We played a great match. We almost put the game to bed in the first half, we saw the ghosts of last year. Then when Papu scored the 4-1 goal we killed off the game. We played a great match against a strong side”.

They could re-open the match, but you denied them with your hands or your face, maybe.

“I didn’t see that coming, I can’t remember who was in front of me. I think it hit my face, but it’s valid anyway. We goalkeepers just need to save it, the important thing is to be efficient”.

Marco, two away games in a row, two wins with four goals scored each.

“True, but we also conceded 3. We must get better at this. It was fair today as Lazio have important players, strong individuals, especially at the front. Yet those two goals conceded to Torino on Sunday could be avoided. There’s always room for improvement. We can always improve and this is good”.

Four goals each game, hence 8 goals. You picked it up from where you left off, continuing to score.

“True, that’s our strength. We play very well. Our forwards play well, but also as a team, we are very aggressive. We like playing like this, as it makes us perform at our best. Like I said before, we’ve become a very cynical team, or at least in these two games”.

Marco, the matches against Lazio are never boring.

“It’s always a battle. As they’re a strong team and have fast players. And we’re also a team who take many risks and surge forward, so it’s nice for the show”.
