Cigarini – Atalanta

After earning a 1-1 draw at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday, Atalanta midfielder Luca Cigarini feels that the performance is evident of the Orobici’s strong team unity.

Even with a man down, the visitors were able to hold a 1-0 lead thanks to Mauricio Pinilla’s goal until Duvan Zapata netted a crucial equalizer for the Partenopei to escape embarrassment in the 89th minute.

“It’s normal that Napoli get important goals, therefore it finished a draw,” said Cigarini to Sky Sport Italia.

“We know we are a strong group, before a strong team. The league standings say otherwise, but we know our quality and we have to continue like this.”

The 28-year-old added his thoughts on what was a difficult and hard fought match.

“It ‘s hard because when the points are needed from a hotly contested match with fewer players you cannot play calmly.”
