Miranchuk’s first coach accused Gasperini of senility

The first coach of midfielder Alexei Miranchuk, Alexander Voronkov, believes that it is time for the Russian to leave the Italian Atalanta, and also spoke sharply about the club’s coach from Bergamo, Gian Piero Gasperini.

– I’m tired of the saga with the departure of Miranchuk from Atalanta. I think Alexey deserves to prove himself. The case when it is objectively necessary to give more time. But Gasperini won’t let me play. Why? Don’t know. As far as I know, Alexei’s transfer to Torino was blocked – I read in the press. I think it’s time to leave. Gasperini has senile insanity. He pulls Miranchuk, breaking the man’s psyche. I don’t understand how this is possible.

Alexey is a footballer who should be allowed to play more. It’s been a long time to adapt. He wants to stay in Italy, he really wants to play – but not like in Atalanta. I can’t speak for Alexei, but I’ll speak for myself – it’s time to leave. Otherwise, you can sit. Now is the peak of the age to prove yourself. Let him play consistently three or four matches at least half-time – in this case, it will be possible to draw some conclusions. But he never played in four games in a row. At best, it takes 15-20 minutes. If I were in his place, I would have left,” said Voronkov to the “Championship”.

On August 10, the portal Tuttomercatoweb reported that Miranchuk flew to Turin to undergo a medical examination and sign an agreement with Torino. It is said to be a €12 million lease with an option to buy.

The 26-year-old played 25 games for Atalanta last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists.
