"The result is positive and that is what we wanted, as in the first leg you must set yourself up for the return. We have a small advantage, we reacted to going behind with a show of character that I liked," Italiano told Sky Italia.
We could've avoided conceding a few goals and scored a few more, but a positive result is what we wanted, I liked the reaction and we build on that.
Well one was a corner, the third was definitely avoidable, as we were in full control of the match. We must learn to sniff out danger and recognise those moments before they happen.
I am glad we got the victory and showed that desire to turn it around, to play with determination, but in some moments in Europe especially we simply cannot be that superficial."
On conceding three goals away from home, the coach also said: I said before the match that we are improving going forward, but we need to be more alert and concentrated in defence. It's all about the details, we are nearing the end of the season and every game is crucial. Every tiny detail can be costly, so we need to be less superficial and improve in every training session, every match, every aspect.
I will say that many players who were injured are getting back into shape and that really makes the difference. They bring extra quality and we need them in the next two and a half months."
