Gian Piero Gasperini warns Club Brugge

Gian Piero Gasperini introduced Club Brugge-Atalanta, scheduled for Wednesday at 6:45 p.m., in a press conference: "I don’t believe in percentages, they are of little use. Every team that comes to the Champions League does it to pass the round, it applies to us as it does to them. Club Brugge è prepared tactically, used to winning. Against Manchester City they played more defensively, but always maintaining great team organization. It will be a difficult game, we will have to do well because they are compact, intense and with good individuality. And then we play over 180 minutes, the’opponent è of value".

Choice made for the goal: "Carnesecchi? Rui Patricio will play. Marco è with us, but not è at his best. We are doing good performances, although injuries affect. Scamacca and Scalvini we never had them, so in that aspect not much has changed. Posch has arrived and we have replaced Zaniolo with Maldini. Difficult moments happen in all teams, especially with so many close games. We have to manage a few absences, but we hope to recover Lookman and Kolasinac soon, who in ten days has already missed four matches. Maldini? It è nothing serious, but for now è he" also stopped.

"It’s back to the old formula, with round-trip. Playing the first one at home could be a small advantage. Certainly, having played so many games in Europe has helped us grow, improving our approach to away games as well. Every game, forò, has its own story and the emotion always changes. This morning I saw the snowy field? Well, they better have fixed it… (laughs, ed.)".

Closing remark on De Ketelaere, the great former of the challenge: "He has characteristics that allow him to play away from the’area as well, but his priority must be to be near the goal. He has everything to do it: technique, aerial game… He just has to improve under the goal, because heé can&eograve; make the definitive" leap in quality.
