Atalanta, Gasperini lashes out at the market: ‘It’s madness’

Atalanta, Gasperini rails against the market: "It's madness"

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini also spoke about the market after the clear victory against Lecce on the first day of Serie A. In the spotlight, of course, are the situations of the "rebels" Lookman and Koopmeiners, both of whom are determined to leave Bergamo to settle one at PSG, and the other at Juventus.

"Honestly, no one would have expected to find them in this situation,” Gasperini admitted to Dazn. “Now I have to travel a little bit by sight. I had a lot of thoughts after the Europa League final and then afterwards we encountered all these difficulties, including Scamacca's injury. I do not know what will happen between now and the end of the market, we will see".

Gasperini especially targeted the market that is still open with the league in progress: "The difficultyà comes becauseé the market è absurd in terms of dates. Keeping the market open during games è crazy. Nobody likes it, neither the people nor the insiders. There are strange market situations because é there are matches being played, otherwise there would be something different. Soccer è entertainment, you don’t understand whyé you have to do things that people don’t like".

Newly acquired Brescianini è started with a double: "I started with Brescianini more central, but then I noticed that he was struggling a little bit to get out of the way and find the right distances. So I moved him to the left and you could see what he did. With Brescianini we made a very good buy".
