Europa League
Gasperini: “I can only applaud my players, the atmosphere will be hot in the second leg”
Gian Piero Gasperini expressed his satisfaction with the crash and the 2-1 win against Olympiakos, stressing that the European games are difficult but also that Atalanta want to be the star.
Atalanta took the lead thanks to two second-half goals from Berat Jimciti from corner kicks in Europa League 16 qualifying and Gian Piero Gasperini couldn’t help but celebrate the performance of his players.
“Games in Europe are always difficult because you come up against teams that are pioneers in their leagues and with players who can hurt you at any time. It took us some time to react to scoring goals from a static phase is something that helps you.”
Now we all have our attacking injuries but we will try to close the gaps to stay competitive. The Champions League?
“To achieve this, the easiest way is to win the league because winning the Europa League is very difficult, although we want to be protagonists.”Gasperini pointed out, to add for the February 24 reissue in “Georgios Karaiskakis”:
“We’re going to face a hot atmosphere. I think we have the potential to play better. We made a lot of mistakes tonight but we still have a day to rest for the second leg.”
I have no pessimism. We’re never pessimistic, we’re protagonists in the championship, but also in Europe with every mistake we make. “I can only applaud these children.”
