U23s, Francesco Modesto: "This win was no mean feat"
The coach's post-match debriefing
As Atalanta U23s sewed up a gritty comeback in Busto Arsizio, coach Francesco Modesto on the Nerazzurri's performance: "Whenever you happen to face teams like Pro Patria, who are fighting tooth and nail to stave off relegation, it's never a walk in the park. We didn't exactly start off on the right foot in the first half: we lacked aggression, and we conceded a goal we'll have to work on and put down to experience. However, the lads responded well, and we walked away with three points that will stand us in good stead on our journey. I'm pleased with how Pounga, Cassa and Berto came in and with how De Nipoti is progressing. Vlahović had the chance to put it to bed, but luck wasn't on his side tonight. A special mention also to Pardel: he has been a life-saver tonight".
