Roma attacker Nicolo Zaniolo has revealed that boss Jose Mourinho ordered the players to play patiently and wait for the counter-attack until the victory over Atalanta.
Wolves have been in great form as they defeated strong Atalanta 4-1, earning their second league win in a row after losing two in a row, with Zaniolo netting his first league goal in the competition. The 514-day round reveals the coach’s instructions to play with patience and find an opportunity to counter-attack against the opponent until it succeeds.
“I’m very happy. Aside from goals because we won against opponents for the Champions League. Direct league and it has to go on,” Zaniolo told Roma TV.
“We did as the coach asked. Stay strong and fight back. We are a strong team This is what Roma are and not what you saw against Inter, so we took home three points.
“I dedicate the goal to my friend Alessandro and his family. It’s a bad day for them. And I hope this goal will make them smile.”
