Montella takes the draw: “Important point, but we tried everything to win”

Vincenzo Montella was in pragmatic mood on Sunday afternoon after his Sampdoria side were held to a 0-0 draw by Atalanta at Marassi.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t take our chances at the end, but if you can’t win the most important thing is to avoid defeat,” began the Sampdoria coach.

“We tried to get the victory and we had the opportunities to score, but at the end of the day this is a big point given our recent run. That said, with the quality we have in our side we should be doing better.”
