The Giallorossi midfielder hopes that his goal against the Bianconeri will not compromise their quest for the Scudetto, and feels for Gigi Buffon who gifted the goal to him.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Bertolacci-c5670 has voiced his empathy for Gigi Buffon after scoring a goal of the goalkeeper's mistake, and hopes that the draw game will not hurt Juventus’ dream of Scudetto.
The midfielder stole a ball from a negligent Buffon to score a late equaliser for Lecce. As a result, the game ended as a 1-1 stalemate, and Juventus had to settle for a mere single point instead of three.
The Salentini player revealed that the Bianconeri keeper came to high five him at the end of the match, a gesture which touched his heart. The AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 owned player stated that he could see the grief in the eyes of the glovesman,
and he wishes that the goal will not prove to be fatal for the Old Lady’s Scudetto campaign.
The young playmaker insisted that his team was desperate for points in the league, and he just pounced on the opportunity from the goalkeeper at the first sight.
While talking to the press, the 21-year-old said:
“Buffon gave me a high-five at the end of the game,” stated the Roman. “There was disappointment there and I hope that what has happened won’t compromise their campaign. We were down to 10-men and I just attacked him.”
The stalemate of the league frontrunners when combined with AC Milan’s triumph over Atalanta, has led the Champions to reduce the Old Lady’s lead to a single point. With just two games left to be played, the dropped points from
the Buffon mistake could end up costing the Bianconeri their supremacy in the league.
Bertolacci insisted that the team gave its absolutely all against the unbeaten Bianconeri, and believes that even a point from the game holds a lot of value for the relegation threatened club. He went on to state that the team
will continue their fight for survival until the last moment.
“We looked to give it our all and there is great satisfaction that we got a point. We are fighting for survival and we’ll keep working hard until the very end.”
Lecce will host Fiorentina in their next Serie A clash of the ongoing season.
