Gasperini against referee Di Bello: strong words
Atalanta will face Empoli at home on Sunday in the 33rd day of the championship. Gian Piero Gasperini presented the match this way: "With Verona we gave up two points, è it went well in Monza, but with Empoli we have to win to detach those behind and approach those in front. I expect a team with the characteristics it has shown in these last few days, è an organized team. We will have to do well to win this game".
The Orobici helmsman then frontally attacked referee Di Bello after he sent him off in the Coppa Italia semifinal against Fiorentina: "I è sorry because you don't live through the Coppa Italia semifinals every year and I è sorry because it came after a Var call and a double head injury. After making enough disasters in the league that referee now often referees in Serie B, at least some justice there's been".
Gasperini è then returned to the match against Empoli and updated on injuries: """ more likely to recover Toloi, for Holm è a little more difficult. I worry about possible aches and pains, è the only risk you take when you play often. But the fact of the five changes helps a lot, we found a good continuity and a good possibility to vary. I don’t think there are physical fatigues to recover, but more nervous ones. Now we have the boost from all the fans".
"Scalvini and Kolasinac? Today we rehearse, but yesterday we had good feedback, there'è confidence. The arrival of Kolasinac è has been providential for us, he has raised the defensive level, è a player who è fits in right away. He embodies what our values are, immediately è became an important player, è was a fundamental reinforcement. Given that he was on deadline, è he was a great zero-parameter hit by D'Amico" concluded.
