Andrea Petagna has scored his first two goals under the Seal shirt against his former club, Atalanta, for a magic night in the Mazza stadium. Two goals and three points, the striker wants to score a lot more: "My best in one season during my career has been 8 goals. This time I want to score at least 10. I've got my style, there are strikers that do nothing the whole game, use the work of their teammates and score 30 goals. Their teams don't have great results though.
I'd sign immediately to not score more than these two goals if Spal would avoid relegation. In my two years at Atalanta I've scored 11 goals and made 20 assists between the league and the cup. If Gasperini, who's a good coach, always made me play there was a reason... I'm closer to the goal with Semplici. I'm sure I'll score more".
"After my goal I thought about my granddad Francesco, who's coached Spal for so many years even reaching the Serie B - has he told La Gazzetta dello Sport-. I remember when he used to bring me in the garden. I was hungry for football as a kid. I always tried to get the adults' ball and he would tell me "Andrea, use the little ball to get better technically". I dedicate this moment of happiness to him".
"My arrival at Spal? During the retreat he told me there was no more space for me at Atalanta. I can admit I didn't like it, I wanted to stay but then the right offer came from Spal at the right time. This team reminds me of Atalanta from two seasons ago, the one that finished fourth. I'm not saying we'll get the same result but there are some similar points that make me think about it, such as the strength and harmony in the group. The hungriness for results. Whoever's on the bench, and I know how hard this situation is, is happy as he'd play and trains at 100%. This is how you build something important".
