In an interview given to the microphones of Veneto Messengerformer Udinese player Damiano Zenoni wanted to have his say about the match that sees the Bianconeri face Gasperini's Atalanta. The former defender and midfielder, who made 68 appearances in Friuli without ever finding the back of the net, declared his ideal attacking pair to try to hurt the Nerazzuri. Below are his words:
Lucca-Davis with the Goddess?: “I saw that with the two of them Udinese tamed Cagliari well and put Juventus in serious difficulty. It is a couple that convinces me in this game system because they both know how to act as a reference and know how to hit. If served well they can put any defense is in difficulty, even Atalanta's.”
On the Nerazzurri attack: “I never thought I'd see Retegui as top scorer at this point, I like him because he also knows how to play as a point of reference for the team. Lookman, on the other hand, is a real player. It will be tough for Udinese, even if from a physical point of view the Bianconeri know how to keep up in duels.”
Sull’ex Samardzic: “He is on the launching pad and in two months he could explode, even if we then have to consider the fact that not everyone can play even though there are now at least sixteen starters in the rotations. The Serbian has great talent and he also shoots with the ball in this game in which it is used on the finishing trocar”.
Dream of Europe for the Friulians?: “Honestly, I still don't see them as competitive enough to return to the cups, but if they have the ability to get out of the battle for survival soon then they could join the big leagues. Lately they've seemed a bit like the usual Udinese, tied to their usual form.”
