MARCO DONADEL

"We are continuing our process of maturity. We went down 1-0 but we continued to play the same way we do every game. We know exactly what to do. To try to push, to force them to go back and to try to create space and chances. Today was probably one of the best games of the season. We are improving physically. The relationship between our players on the field is very good. Our goal was to try to stay alive in the competition after tonight and I think that we reached our goal."
