“I’m sorry for the hard tackle on Higuaín: he went in hard to shoot the ball, hopefully it’s just a bruise. I was lucky not to feel anything myself”. With those words, Marco Andreolli begins his post-game interview with Sky. “Did I feel a bit nervous? No, but it is definitely hard to start against Napoli when you almost never play. When it’s the first game in a while you are always a bit more worried, also about your physical condition. Otherwise it was a nice game against a great opponent. It was an open game, where we controlled the first half and they came out strong after the break. Would I accept another season like this? It’s a bit hard to say, but this is a matter to address at the end of the season. What matters now it that we finish as strongly as possible with these three games in order to qualify for Europe. Then we will look things over with the club”.

In spite of everything, Andreolli co-operated well with his defensive colleagues: “Yes, it is never easy, especially not when you face the opponents like we did tonight. But everyone helped me and we did a great game”.

Does playing against a top player like Higuaín make you excited or intimidated? “I will tell you the truth: for a person like me, these high-level games make you even more motivated. You need to stay concentrated all the way until the final whistle. Physical contact also helps you in this aspect”.
