Gian Piero Gasperini’s words on the eve of Milan-Atalanta

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini è spoke in a press conference on the eve of the challenge with Milan: "Milan remains a very strong team, beyond the false step against Monza in the championship they have made a streak of results that has taken them very high. It will beà an important match for sure, it is also worth a lot for the ranking and for the championship".

So he didn&#39t mince words about the clogged schedule: "The mess è was made with the Super Cup matches already in January, not something of today. For us it was already very obvious also because Atalanta at that time was already qualified. Forò not è something I can change, we have to adapt. We have to take one race at a time, it è not a normal thing, if it had happened to some other team who knows; what controversy would have come out. It’s okay, we carry it on our shoulders, we think game by game, starting tomorrow".

On the Europa League draw: "Before Sporting we have to play in a week against Milan, Inter and Bologna, honestly I have a hard time putting my head thereì. They have grown, but we have also grown. We have met twice already, even this è a little bit of an anomaly, the important thing anyway is to get there well. We still have the confidence that we can do well".

So he announced Lookman s recovery: "His return for us è an additional reinforcement, he had a good workout yesterday, the pain has è reduced a lot, è ready already; tomorrow to be able to give us what he has already given us in the past".

"È the best De Ketelaere right now, he has room for growth but he is on the right path. He has taken confidence, this è already a good sign" Gasperini commented on De Ketelaere, great former of the challenge.
