“We improved when we went to press, and you have to play like this against the big teams, with personality.” It seems to point the way Gerard Deulofeu, after having scored on the pitch with that goal so simple, apparently, and so appropriate as to give Udinese an unexpected draw and a good dose of personal self-esteem that bodes well for the future of the Spaniard, a decisive result yesterday. Speaking of the future, the Catalan wants to see a different Udinese since Venice, and not double-faced as he saw it yesterday: «We didn’t have a good start, and against the big teams you can’t go wrong. The goal for the next matches is therefore to do well right from the start and throughout the match, while today we managed to score two goals and play well only in the second half ».
Then another prediction: «Only time and performance can tell if we are better than last year, but in the meantime we believe in it in the locker room, where every player tries to give their best. As for me I have suffered a lot, and I must say it, but now I can smile when I train ». The last reflection is on the role and the understanding with Pussetto, who would like his partner for the whole season: «With Pussetto I expect to play together all season. Winger? I’m an winger, I like the one on one, speed, but if I play later I can score more and if we play 4-3-3 I can play as a winger ».
Another interpretation to the game was given Samir: «Today the three points were our goal, we didn’t succeed, but one point is fine. In the interval the coach gave us indications and in the second half another Udinese was seen, a changed team that never gives up ». The fans who Samir thanked him also appreciated it: «Having the public is always an extra boost, for us it is important to have the fans who fight». –
