Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini’s regret

Thusì Gian Piero Gasperini, interviewed by Dazn at the end of Atalanta-Napoli: “We were caught a bit by negative episodes. I am happy and satisfied with the performance, which was superior to that of Napoli. That is why we are even more regretful about the defeat. When you meet strong teams you cannot make a certain kind of gifts, otherwise you pay for them. This match will give us more strength, we will come out more determined. There have been some matches with a bit more luck for us, this is not è the same period".

But now Dea è out of the Scudetto fight? "Probably è soè, but we have never spoken or thought about the Scudetto – Gasperini replied -. Our path should not take away from these guys what extraordinary things they have done so far, including tonight, such as thinking that being away from the Scudetto is something that penalizes. Our path è extraordinary. We have done something important, even today”.

The Atalanta coach then wants to emphasize that "you always put something beyond: the Scudetto, the first 8 positions, as if the rest was minimal. It's a way of putting goals like that. Then if we are in the top eight we have to win the Champions, if we are in the top three we have to win the Scudetto. Enjoy the games, talk about the games. Those who saw our performance tonight know that è so much stuff".

"Then on Tuesday we will think about the Champions League, we have the opportunity" to qualify with two rounds in advance and that would be extraordinary,” he concluded. “We are playing every three days and if we go ahead in the Champions League it will be like that for another month and a half. We do not have to look at other things".
