The words of Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini after the 1-1 draw with Lecce in the match of the thirty-fourth day of Serie A.

“What happened (the death of Lecce’s physiotherapist, ed.) affected everyone. The beginning of the match was touching, but then there was the match and since the referee blew the whistle both teams were thinking about that. Each of my teams was different, you can’t compare them. I did not expect such an approach because it was really bad. Then we also had some domination but very slow.”

“The feeling is that we don’t realize the goal that this team has to achieve, there is a bit of arrogance and presumption in the approach to this kind of matches. It seems like it’s easy or due because Atalanta made it so many years in the Champions League, but they are tearing each other apart behind to get there.”

“This thing you hear is definitely damaging and we are also guilty of this but for me Champions would be a great achievement. Worried are those behind us, but this feeling worries me, in my opinion it is not normal for Atalanta to reach these goals and this year it would be even more so than other years.”
