At the end of the home defeat against Sampdoria, Udinese coach Luca Gotti shared his thoughts with Udinese TV: "In the last few months we’ve encountered several similar situations. Today, once again, we didn't deserve to lose. Despite various difficulties, the team tried to get the maximum from the game and to get a win, which we’ve not managed for some time at home. Then not only do we fail to win, we lose off the back of a penalty like that, so it’s difficult to comment on. There was a drop off in terms of our physical performance but also our attitude, putting aside the fatigue after the trip to Naples. The type and number of mishaps and penalties we’ve had to contend with this year are difficult to get your head around – as a coach it’s tough to handle. Often the result doesn’t reflect what we saw on the pitch and that leaves me with a bitter taste. The strength of a sportsperson, however, must be to fight and always bring out the best in themselves, wanting to play well even when luck is against them."
