Gian Piero Gasperini pampers Luis Muriel: “Those who boo him think again.”

A full-throated defense of one of his protégés, who is back to being decisive.

Gian Piero Gasperini cuddles Luis Muriel, back to being decisive for his Atalanta side with the backheel goal in the middle of the game that resulted in the 3-2 win over Milan. But in the aftermath of the Gewiss Stadium match, the Nerazzurri coach lashed out at part of the Bergamo crowd, which booed the Colombian as he entered the field.

"I feel sorry for Muriel, but also for Miranchuk who è a very serious guy. When they entered the field è even a few whistles flew – Gasperini stressed to the microphones of 'DAZN' -. I would say that next time, before booing Lucho, someone will think twice. He scored a great goal, which he often does in training and cannot replicate in the game. Today è happened".

Overall, forò, Gasperini is enjoying an'Atalanta returning to success in Serie A after a long period of tarnish in the league. "This year we have collected very little with the bigs. Other times we have played similarly, but lost because of some of our ingenuities. But today we deserved to beat Milan, I had no doubt about the character of this team. The fact è that we are also playing the Europa League, which as I always say gives a lot but also takes away. Especially in terms of energy".
