Kristian Thorstvedt commented on the match between Sassuolo and Milan, highlighting the importance of the draw and his vision on the role of midfield. In the press room, the Norwegian defender stressed that although the team got a point against a high-level opponent, he believes they deserved more, citing personal errors and the need to complete the attacking game.
The player explained how his position in the penalty area is often requested by the coach to compensate for his teammates' runs into the area. He referred to the match against Monza, where the lack of presence in the area influenced the result, and reiterated the importance of maintaining concentration in every match, especially against "big" teams. Thorstvedt also shared how his experience with the Norwegian national team provides him with a competitive mentality, citing the inspiration he draws from Premier League player Odegaard.
On the topic of the club's future, the defender responded with caution to the question about contract renewal, declaring that he did not want to talk about such matters. Regarding the disallowed goal against Milan, he expressed his opinion that the referee blew the whistle too early, as the ball had not yet reached the penalty spot, calling the decision a "shame" and not a foul.
With this draw, Sassuolo remains in a balanced position in the standings, but Thorstvedt remains focused on the next match, underlining that the team must also win away from home to continue progressing in the season.
