PINZOLO - "Today we did well. The rhythm increased, but three extra days of work did well." Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Luca Castellazzi gave his verdict on the friendly match played against Mezzocorona, which saw him on the pitch for 45 minutes: "It was a good test, we are growing, all of us. Even Alvarez? He's a surprise, but I must say that the leaders of this group have taken a hold of the team and are setting an example."
Several approaches were tried in defence today by Gasperini. The Nerazzurri goalkeeper stated: "We're trying out formations of three but we already see that it's working well. Gasperini is very helpful, attentive, talkative, and after having faced him many times as an opponent in the Genoa derby it's a pleasure to work with him."
