As Francesco Modesto reflected on the setback suffered against Lumezzane, Atalanta U23s' caretaker underscored how: "I have nothing to criticize my players for; they put up another flawless display against a seasoned player. We created aplenty, threading many chances across both halves. Credit is also due to the opposing keeper, he saved the day on several occasion, while we rushed things too much at times.If memory serves me right, we conceded from their only real chance. But that's part of football as well, it happens.Now we just need focus on keep working hard. The lads are the ones disappointed with this defeat in the first place".
He then added: "I can confide in outstanding players, alway eager to step up, even when I ask them to play in different roles. For instance, while Del Lungo was an excellent improptu winger, especially considering he had come down with a fever earlier this week. He played brilliantly, just like Gyabuaa, who's becoming a dab-hand at playing in defense".
