«It was a great victory, well deserved, and we also ended up growing up». Igor Tudor thus puts his very personal title on the result, then dampening in the bud those who, in the press room, point out to him the twenty-one shots of Udinese and the saves of Montipò. “What you call cynicism I call quality. The strong players are there, we have them, and we play quite offensive because we want to score one more goal, so we attack in many. If, on the other hand, three attacks are not enough ». This explains the philosophy of Hellas, fourth attack in the championship and a position in the standings that rivals his former Udinese, beaten for the first time as an opponent, after the draw in the first leg. On the eve of the Croatian coach he was quite clear, he knew the characteristics and the type of football proposed by the Friulians, and he knew what to expect: «I especially liked the desire not to concede, from start to finish. The boys played a great game, a game that seemed easy but which was not. I am happy for the goals from Depaoli, Barak and Caprari and Montipò did well, as did Tameze. Simeone? He was one of the best. I asked him to always go to space, he made us play well. He wanted to stay on the pitch to score, but since we’re fine, I let him and Gianluca rest a bit ».
Then Tudor went back to talking about the group, wanting to reveal how the strength of the Gialloblù collective was born: «This whole group is wonderful, made up of respectable people and willing to work, and for a coach it becomes easy. I feel privileged, I am happy to work with them. The guys didn’t miss a workout, there’s a lot of sweat during the week. My contract? We are calm, my contract does not matter. I strongly believe in weekly work, which for me is the key to everything. A coach must have a lot of skills, but the key is training. I want to win on Sunday and have a great training tomorrow, I want to grow and improve the team. The rest doesn’t matter to me. ” –
