MILAN � After the match against Atalanta, Nerazzurri
defender Jonathan gave a few statements to Inter Channel.

This is what he had to say:

“I was expecting a tough game because they
have quality up front. After the equaliser we played a great match. They had
chances as we did, but the ball just didn�t want to go in. Look at
how we hit the woodwork three times. Towards the end of the game our
concentration dropped and we saw Atalanta score.

“I saw the keeper coming out so I tried to
chip him. It was a game we could have won, but now we�ll have to use the next
one to make things right. After our goal we pushed them back. We passed the
ball around and managed the game, but they did well to close down all the
spaces.

“There was disappointment in the dressing
room, but we were also relaxed because our fans applauded us after the final
whistle. We know losing is part of football. In the next game, against Udinese,
we hope to start out focused from the opening whistle. We have three days to
prepare well and talk with the coach in order to avoid the mistakes we made
today.

“During half-time the coach told Cambiasso
to get the ball to me more because I had a lot of space. Then in the second
half I was getting more of the ball but it�s a shame I wasn�t able to take full
advantage of those situations. Guaro and I have a good understanding between
us. He always knows where I want the ball and he always gives it to me in the
right way. We�ll keep trying to do even more for the team. He also had a chance
to score today but couldn’t quite manage it.”
