The “Tucu” provided the assist of the second goal to his compatriot De Paul. “We talk to each other a lot, I know when it’s the right time for the passage”
“We always talk a lot with Rodrigo and by now I know when is the right time for the transition.” Roberto Pereyra reveals the behind the scenes of that decisive assist that allowed the compatriot to put Udinese back in the lead in the action of De Paul’s second goal, which later proved decisive for the victory. For the “Tucu” there is therefore the dialogue at the basis of everything, even if to see them on the pitch the two also speak another language, the spontaneous understanding perceptible between players capable of giving the ball “you”.
But Pereyra in Crotone did not “only” pack the sixth assist of the season, of which the third to De Paul, because he was also the player who has covered the most kilometers (11,966) of all and also the one who has pushed the ball several times in forward (33), completing 92% of positive passes. All this for the three coveted points.
«They are three fundamental points and the whole group deserved it, then Rodrigo also scored a brace and therefore we are happy – admitted the mezzala -. I certainly think this game can help us gain confidence and I think the whole group deserved to win a game like this. We lost three games in a row and it was tough for us, but I always believed in this group and I knew we would be able to take home these three important points ».
Also Stefano Okaka spoke of victory strongly. “We were coming from a negative period and now we have put many situations in order, we have a good quality team and we have seen it.” Score in hand, the numbers of the 31-year-old were not exciting in the offensive phase, where the good and big opportunity was eaten immediately after Simy’s penalty, but still there are four recoveries. “It’s never easy to be out for four or five months with my body, but I’m feeling good and today I’ve done things that I can do and I’m happy. I worked hard to recover quickly and I have many goals that I can achieve. I have to finish well ».
Then, here is the conclusion with the compliments to De Paul. “There are no more words for him and for the intensity he brings. There is no midfielder who scores ten goals in Europe. He is our captain and when he is like this we all benefit from him ».
