Everything Celtic's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel said to TNT Sports, after his side's 0-0 draw with Atalanta in Bergamo...


A really potentially important point tonight, where does that rate for you in terms of the games that you've played already with Celtic?

It was a tough game, we knew it was going to be a tough game coming here, so we knew that we had to learn from the Dortmund game and we had to defend for our lives, and we did that. Very proud of the boys, I think it was an incredible defensive performance when we then did have the ball, we did carve out some chances, but it's always going to be tough against Napoli, I think they're the highest scoring team in Europe at home, or at least in Italian football, so to come here and get a point I think is a good point.

What felt different tonight?

Obviously, we took a little bit more practical approach in this one, where we took a few less chances in the build-up because of their system, their man-to-man system, we tried to exploit that a couple of times, it worked, but it's always going to be difficult coming away from home in Europe against a system that's so aggressive, but I thought we did all right.

Joe Hart was part of our commentary team tonight, he was singing your praises for obvious reasons, the Goalkeepers' Union is still very strong. Just the importance of what you do, that everything started with your position, where you put the ball, is that something that you've been working on?

Yeah, I think particularly when you play a team that plays man-for-man like they do, I'm always going to be the spare man when we're in possession, so it's important that we try and create spaces, we try and create openings, and that's obviously going to be me on the ball a lot of the time, and as soon as someone jumps onto me, there's going to be a spare man somewhere. So it puts a lot of emphasis on the keeper to try and be creative with the ball. It works sometimes, it doesn't always work, but it's one of those things as a keeper, you've got to try and see solutions, find solutions, be creative and see if you can get out of that for us.
