It doesn't start well the 2017 for Udinese, but only for the result. The blackandwhites have, in fact, offered a great performance, giving up only at the end to an header of Perisic. Delneri commented: "It's a great pity not scoring in all the chances we created, we waisted too much and we can't afford it, even more against big teams. I'm mad, because we conceded very little and still we are here commenting a defeat. Defensively we've been almost perfect, Samir for example played a great game. We also payed on the physical level. Kums? He played a good game, but he missed four consecutive passes, and I'll tell you more...If Hallfedsson had been well physically Kums wouldn't have played.
Anyway we focus on the performance, if we were always to play like this I'm sure we will win 2 of 3 games. A draw today wouldn't have changed a lot in the table, what matters is the performance. And I'm satisfied".
