Borriello now wants the Rossoneri to grab the top spot, as they are just one point behind Inter, Udinese and Napoli at the top of the Serie A.
“It was very important win and we managed it despite not playing that well,” Borriello enthused.
“In the move that led to the goal I received the ball from Alexandre Pato and decided not to shoot but to find Kaka because he is good in these situations.
“Bringing on a player like Pato allows the team to move the ball forward more than we do with Ronaldinho, who likes to drop deep to receive the pass.
“Atalanta closed down the spaces well and so it was tough for Dinho.
“Now we must prepare ourselves for Siena on Wednesday. We need to be ready because they have had an extra day to get ready.
“However, we are confident and we can take lots of positives – we suffered, but we didn’t concede and we got the points. Now we want to be top of the table on Sunday evening.”
