Collecchio, 24 gennaio 2026 - Head Coach Carlos Cuesta, shared his thoughts during his press conference for Matchday 22. He spoke ahead of the clash against Atalanta in the press room of the Mutti Training Centre in Collecchio.
THE DRIVE TO EARN POINTS
'The team is really hungry for points and eager to perform well to. Our mindset, our obsession, is to always do everything we can to come away with something. Every match is an opportunity, and tomorrow is a big one. We've been competitive in every fixture, always in the game, except against Inter. Right now, we're not looking back or making judgments, our full focus is on what's next. We know we're facing a tough opponent, and it will be a difficult match. To get points, we'll need to be at our very best. That doesn't change. Every game is worth three points, and we have to give everything, every time.'
ATALANTA, A STRONG IDENTITY
'They are a very strong side, and aggressive. They have had a clear identity for years, despite changes in Coach. They're playing in the Champions League, so we know what level they are at. But at the same time, we know how to play our game and do what we can to increase our chances of getting a good result.'

JACOB ONDREJKA
THE TRANSFER MARKET
ON MIKOLAJEWSKI AND NDIAYE
'Mikolajewski has real potential, definitely more mature than his age would suggest. He’s hungry and has important qualities that give him room to grow. As for Ndiaye, he’s back training on the pitch, but he won’t be available for the next few weeks. He’s improving step by step, but we’re still some way off from seeing him in action.'
