Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini: "We cannot compete with those who make a billion deficit"

"Atalanta cannot compete with those who make a billion deficit to win. That is why when it started to change size it bothered". This was said by Gian Piero Gasperini in the lengthy interview with Radio TV Serie A, talking about the disproportion of means between the luxury provincial team and the big ones.

"I’m lucky to have phenomenal managers who manage to sell players at previously unthinkable figures in order to reinvest. All we can do is enhance them to improve and then evaluate the offers – adds the Atalanta coach. At the beginning we sold Gagliardini, Caldara, Kessie and Conti. The last one è was Hojlund".

About possible goals for his team, Gasperini mentions one: "The Coppa Italia, which we have come close to twice. For the Scudetto, we cannot always compete for the same reasons: we the deficit cannot make it".
