Gasperini stings Fiorentina: "It feels like an oxen stadium to me…"
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini commented on his team's loss at the Franchi against Fiorentina: "In the final round we were definitely very tired, we played in a very hot weather and it was not easy. I analyze the match in the globality; and we missed a good chance, in the first half-hour we had addressed it well. Beyond the merits of the opponent, we put our own to facilitate some goals".
Gasperini poked fun at Fiorentina and the purple fans for the insults they received during the match: "They treat us like bigs, these are the insults that important teams receive. It è not pleasant, sometimes it seems to me a stadium of oxen calling the donkey a cuckold".
And again: "We and they always play in the same bracket, six years out of seven è it went well for us and I understand the frustration of the purple fans at being overtaken by Atalanta".
On Scamacca’s performance: "It è not easy, he had a difficult week. In attack now è evident in every team that you try in the second half to take advantage of the freshness of those who come in. He è did not succeed in the half-hour he did, we will examine and think about it. Beyond choices and plays, whoever comes in has to give an important energy".
