“Heart and necks have closed the gap”
« I don't know if we deserved it because Monaco had a lot of chances. They had the technique, the physique, the legs and good individualities. But we have something that Monaco doesn't have: heart and neck… And when you have that, you can do anything. I'm proud of my team because the players were stunned at halftime. But then, heart and neck closed the gap. And that can't be bought on the transfer market », had blurted out Roberto DeZerbi. A memorable spade.
