What kind of training should we expect tomorrow? “Sorry for Lecce, we had a bad game, we compromised everything with those two minutes, they certainly took away our confidence. In the second half there was little clarity and a lot of frenzy. We have to think about Inter, the attention is all there. In Lecce they played Pasalic, Malinovskyi, Sportiello, Djimsiti, Soppy, Okoli – who did most of the championship very well -, if we only want Ruggeri and Zortea, I threw them in because it seemed like the right moment. they have been training with the team since July 4th, it was a considered choice. Many young players played in Lecce: we had a bad game, compromised by the episodes, but they are all Atalanta players, they weren’t caught at the bar, they already played in Serie A last year. You can play badly and lose, throw away the game because there is always an opponent, but I would do it all again. It went badly, when you lose it’s right to criticize, they must be accepted, it’s not madness ” .
Four players will go to the World Cup. Then there is Musso’s disappointment. “Musso has been part of the national team for a long time, he hoped to get back into the squad. For the rest we have four confident players, we hope they can have an excellent demonstration”.
Will there be something to do in January? Also outgoing? “There is a lot of time on this, these are assessments that the company will have to make, but the winter market does not change much”.
Will it be another season after the World Cup? “The January transfer market can hardly change the value of the teams so much. This year I think it is also difficult from an economic point of view, I am convinced that from January it will be another season, but it is always like that”.
The technician of Atalanta Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at the press conference about the big match against Inter: “Tomorrow there will be another high-level match, it closes this first part of an anomalous season, with a very long pause. Two teams arrive on equal points who will try to finish well this match “. Below is the press conference reported by colleagues from Tuttomercatoweb.
Challenge Gosens for the first time.
“He was much better with the Atalanta shirt. He started scoring. He had a difficult impact, but he is recovering some positions, for all he has given us we can support him, but from January”.
Inter have never drawn. How do you read this data?
“How to read it you have to ask Inzaghi. It is a team that did not start well, but it is of absolute value, it has lost a few games badly, but it is a phase that has happened to everyone, except for Napoli. Many have returned, they can make a great streak of results, are of great value “.
How he will manage the days after the match with Inter.
“We will resume on November 28th, we will have a program until January 4th with all the friendlies, we will train here in Zingonia, it will be an opportunity to do good training with many players. We hope to have Muriel and Zappacosta back too”.
He said “We will have a good championship” after the defeat against Napoli. Remain of the same opinion?
“If everything is related to the Champions League, the Scudetto and various things … as a good championship I mean having good material, so as to put the club in the conditions to be able to do well in the future. However, the club will decide the path. : if they tell me to fight for the Scudetto, I will do my best to do so, if they tell me to make young people grow and enhance them, I will do this. “
What can change tomorrow compared to matches like Lazio and Napoli?
“Let’s start again, it’s a game with a story in itself, it will be complicated for both of us. It will be difficult to predict the trend, we have to pay attention to everything. We are focused on the characteristics of Inter. They are a team of absolute value, they play for the championship. . What has upset Napoli a bit, but if you win 10 in a row it is difficult to keep up. There is this obsession with the table, but what does it mean? this obsession, but it doesn’t concern me. “
There is no easy situation at Inter, there is a lot of pressure.
“They have so much pressure that they scored six goals in the last one.”
First he said: it’s not okay to keep your feet in multiple shoes.
“There is no trial and error, it is clear that there is no fixed player. There is Zapata, but he is injured, then Muriel got hurt, then if there is a young player in whom a great investment has been made, “It’s him too. But it’s not only valid in that, it is valid in other roles. When you take a young player you have to let him play, if the goal is the ranking you have to take other players. Atalanta must be clear about what the goal is.” , then he will tell his coach. You are put there to go and ride certain situations, like the fact of who plays or who doesn’t play. This has never been in Bergamo, this stuff is stuff is feeding certain things. What matters? The result. But which? 27 points are few or many? We got them in a moment with people out: you have to create a goal. Do you want to win the Champions League?
