A bitter Jonathan was interviewed by Premium Calcio after 1-1 against Sampdoria: “It’s a heavy draw because we couldn’t afford to drop these points.”
“We threw away two points, we didn’t play as well as we have in other matches. I’m sorry for the coach, Thohir and the fans. Our objective? To remain at the top. If we can stay and fight for the Champions League spots or if we’re able to put the other two teams fighting for the scudetto in difficulty, we will do so. All players who are here have to give their all to win.”
“If we’re lacking something? Sure, we are lacking something but lets not generalize like this after our first draw at home. We have to work, Wednesdaynight we play another match and we’ll have to re-start then.”
Moments later a seemingly disappointed Jonathan spoek with RAI: “Today we didn’t play well, against Bologna we played well but the ball didn’t want to go into the net.”
“You have to understand that we always try to win. We have to work every day, Iäm sure we’ll draw at home again in the future. What counts is that the team plays well, today we didn’t play well. There are 25 matches left, the league is long and everyone thinks that we won’t be able to close in on the top 3 teams. There are no psychological issues, these things happen, sometimes you play poorly and it wasn’t the last time we played poorly.”
