There are no easy games in Serie A and Venezia played well, they put us in difficulty. I don’t think that’s the issue, we always have to give our best. If the Had Atalanta’s 3-0 win over Napoli galvanized us? We were preparing for our match, we saw the result. But the motivation must come from us, from within us, not thinking about others” he concluded.
