Roberto Pereyra spoke to Udinese TV following the 3-2 win over Sassuolo:

“The first half was strange in the way it panned out. We knew that we needed to stay tight at the back and keep an eye on their dangermen; in the end we managed to carry out the plan we’d been working on during the week.

“As for the different formation and approach, I don’t think it was pivotal in us getting the win, rather it was our attitude. We went out there to try to take the game to them because it was the right thing to do for that match, but there are other games in which we find ourselves in different situations against different opponents. 

“Today we played as we’d set out to play; the team showed character, just as we have done in recent games but in which we didn’t pick up points because of mistakes here and there. We made some errors in today’s match but we were so keen to get the win, which is what we managed to do in the end. 

“We found a winning formula today. I felt really comfortable in this system; we were able to show what we’re capable of as footballers. We’ll always go with what the coach decides, though.”
