“They put us in a bit of a difficulty and we were too naive when they scored, we need to be more attentive. But we are happy to have passed on to the next round and now we focus on Palermo.” Words from Roberto Gagliardini to the microphones of RAI after the final whistle of tonight’s game against Bologna. The youngster continues: “I have found a very good team with great players and I’m happy to be here. Today I maybe missed too much, but I want to thank my teammates who welcomed me and immediately made me part of the group, also Pioli of course. National team? Maybe, but I prefer to think of one game at a time. But if I do well on the pitch rewards will come.”
