In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Atalanta defeated Marseille 1-0 away from home. After the game, Atlanta coach Juric accepted an interview with Sky Sports Italia.

About the game

"It was a good game. We were unlucky, we missed the penalty kick and the goal was disallowed, but in the end we finally got a little bit lucky. Samardzic scored a wonderful goal and we are very happy."

Has Atalanta found what it has been missing this season?

"I feel that we lacked nothing this season. Except for the loss to Udinese, we played very well, hit the goalpost, and were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper many times. I know that poor results can make people frustrated, but we have been playing hard."

For forward Krstovich

"I have to congratulate Krstovic, who worked hard on the ball and allowed us to press high. We had the ball for a long time and we needed such an exciting win, especially after missing the penalty. We are all very happy and now we have to make up for lost time in the league."

Conversation with Lookman Corner

"This is a regular issue that we discuss every Sunday. It also happened with De Bruyne against Napoli. Some players were not happy to be substituted and their reaction was not good. We will solve these problems in the dressing room."

"We have all been through this situation, both as a football player and We all have it, players and coaches, and it often happens in the heat of the game. What matters is Atalanta, the club, the fans. Everything we do is for the benefit of the team, and I understand that and I will put everything behind me and move on."
