Europa League, Atalanta towards the final: Gasperini charges his men

Gian Piero Gasperini è already loaded for the Europa League final

.

With two days to go before the Europa League final, in which his Atalanta will face the newly crowned German champions Bayer Leverkusen, Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the Uefa portal, saying he is aware of the difficulty of the challenge, but also of the qualities of his players, who to reach the final have overcome, in the knockout stage, three clubs of great blazon such as Sporting, Liverpool and Olympique Marseille.

"Bayer’s results speak for themselves, this year they have never lost,‖ said the Grugliasco coach, looking for his first trophy as a first-team coach. They are a solid and compact team, difficult to overcome, with a fast and technical attack. We, too, have important qualities, so we hope we can give them problems and make them miss".

"We are two teams with a similar form,” he added.

I am happy becauseé when I started using it, a few years ago, it was considered strange. Now, in the Champions and Europa League, there are many teams playing the same way, although each with their own style. Three defenders and three strikers have become fashionable, you could say, or at least very common".

What is coming to an end, beyond how the final in Dublin will end, è a season nonetheless of the highest level for Atalanta: in addition to qualifying for the Europa League final, the orobici played the Coppa Italia final (lost to Juventus) and are already sure of Champions League qualification through league placement, since they will not be able to finish lower than fifth place.
