The intention, at least for now, è to continue flying low.

Atalanta spectacularly won on the field of the leading team, after a 3-0 snatch at Napoli at the Maradona Stadium that authorizes Serie A to question what are the realistic goals of the Orobic team for this season. Although the top of the standings is now just 3 points away, però, Gian Piero Gasperini glosses over the prospect of Bergamo even aiming for the Scudetto.

"There are still 27 games to go,‖ Gasperini noted in the post-match press conference in Naples.

If we then want to say that Atalanta is from the Scudetto, è an opinion I respect. But every match è is different and I don&#39t know if we will always be able to show the strength of today. Then if that is the case, we will have to expand our circle with more players. But only the further ahead will we be able to have clearer ideas".

There remains the great impression that his Atalanta made in Naples, and on which Gasperini did not è hide: "&It is true that ours è was an almost perfect game. Becauseé coming at this time in Naples, and playing in this way in this stadium, è a great test of responsibility; for us. Certainly winning the Europa League has given us much more confidence and self-esteem than in the past, and performances like this are a direct consequence".

"The nucleus of the team è very strong – continued Gasperini in his analysis of the current Atalanta -. Last year we won the Europa League and hit the Champions League playing every three days. In the meantime we lost Koopmeiners, but a lot of new players have arrived and are fitting in. The fastest è has certainly been Retegui, but if everyone else also joins the core we will understand how competitive we can be".
