Coach Gasperini in his statements yesterday spoke of “theatrics and half-heartedness” regarding the penalty awarded to Club Brugge beyond the 90′ mark.
Leveraged ’97 striker Gustaf Nilsson, however, chose to defend himself against these accusations, arguing indeed-even with some nerve-that the penalty was, “clear, Isak (Hien, ed.) hit me in the face. In the return leg we will have to exploit the spaces given and hope to score goals, then the defensive phase will be important. If we play like we did tonight we have what it takes to get through.”
To the microphones of Gianlucadimarzio.it he added: “Lookman is back? He is a strong player and we respect him, but we are going to Bergamo to play our game.”
