Atalanta, against'Eintracht Raffaele Palladino wants courage

On the eve of his first game on the Dea’s bench in the Champions League in Frankfurt against Eintracht, Atalanta coach Raffaele Palladino spurred on the team in the customary press conference. Here are his words.

“The physiologically lost enthusiasm must be regained, but in the video room we repeated that we need lightness. Away with bad thoughts, yes to courage and’intensity. In Frankfurt we take the second half of Naples with us. We need intensity and courage, verticalizations or change sides when appropriate. I don”t want a team that falls apart.

“We need to find the famous spark again, but working on the physical, technical and mental level I am already getting positive feelings from the players. I want to see courage and more intensity again. Eintracht plays good soccer and scores a lot, it has churned out great players that it has sold, it should be respected”.

Gianluca Scamacca, who returned to goal in the 3-1 loss to Napoli, also spoke: “Palladino brought us positivity, but above all, clear and well-decided ideas from day one. I think that’s the most important thing. In Napoli I entered charged, I liked that we played together. De Ketelaere and Lookman could have scored. I saw a united team again.”

“No one enters the field thinking that the championship is less important than the Champions League. We always give one hundred percent: the data say we did better in Europe, we will try to bring them to favor in Serie A” as well.

“With Eintracht it will be an intense and difficult game, but we know what we have to do. We have a lot in front of us, more minutes can allow me to get into better shape. The thing that has hurt me the most is being away from the team and the locker room. A tough period that m’s served me so much”.
