Альберто Джилардино"It was not easy to determine the composition for this game, because it was not easy to leave in reserve such important players as Malinovskyi, who scored a goal to Atalanta in the previous match. I have to make a choice, depending on the specifics of the opponent and the chosen tactics for the match. The general idea is that players must be ready to sacrifice themselves to achieve the team's goals," - said Gilardino after the match with Napoli.
