Udinese coach Luca Gotti spoke to Udinese TV after the clash at the Stadio Castellani.

“I’m not even pleased with the first-half display because if Empoli had played their game, we would’ve had more space to exploit and hurt them.

“We did have some big chances to score more goals, but we also managed possession poorly and made too many basic mistakes.

“In the second half, we made some defensive mistakes and made more errors in the opposition penalty area. We had a chance to extend our lead a few minutes before they equalised, but once they got their goal, we became rushed and were unable to pass the ball in the way that we could have.

“We were too wary and nervous. In fact, we had chances to put the game to bed, but Empoli passed the ball better than us and we often looked for a direct option. We weren’t clinical enough considering the number of chances that we had.”
