Nicolo Cocetta was all smiles on Sunday after Udinese emerged 3-0 winners over Ilirijia in one of the club’s pre-season friendlies. “It was a great game. It’s a real pleasure to play alongside these guys. They are always teaching me new things, allowing me to take these lessons forward into the future.”
 
The defender was pleased with his performance but thought he could have scored. “I could have got a goal to make it 1-0 but it didn’t happen. I’ll try again next time.”
 
He also shared what coach Andrea Sottil was hoping to see in the game. “He wanted to see a united, compact and determined team with clear objectives.”
 
Finally, Cocetta revealed how he felt before going to the camp. “When they said to me about joining the first team, I thought about all the sacrifices I’ve made. Now I’ve made it and it’s fantastic to be here.”
