A sound defeat, with an attempt not to attach too much weight to it in view of the upcoming tour de force.

Atalanta soundly beaten at San Siro, where the leading Inter è imposed itself 4-0 dominating the orobici especially in the second half. Gian Piero Gasperini però tries to dampen the importance of his side's first knockout after two months of unbeaten streak, and above all he sees no signs of decline ahead of the tour de force in the coming weeks.

"Perhaps for you this result erodes confidence,” Gasperini said in a press conference at San Siro. “We però do not think that these are the matches that can affect our morale, at least as long as the match was there. In the second half it è degenerated, on the occasion of the third goal it è almost seemed to me that it was a kind of practice. My impression, però è that we are doing well. Even at the beginning of the game we did well, against a very strong Inter. The result puzzles, but only those who did not see the game. We will be ready for the next".

"This match è was abnormal, but we have no time to have negative thoughts. Now we have Bologna ahead of us, then we will have Sporting Lisbon, Juventus, Sporting again, Fiorentina and then Napoli. We are ready, we feel charged up and we will start again. Becauseé our condition is good, and the team is fine. We are still in all competitions, the matches become more and more decisive and we cannot spend energy on other issues", Gasperini concluded.
