Meeting Highlights
…ABOUT MATCH
It's certainly a very difficult match because Atalanta is confident, fighting for the Champions League, but then there's us. We have fifteen finals, there is no match less decisive than the other. We know it will be an unequal challenge but we want to play in all the races with the attitude we had in the last two races. The performance against Atalanta might not be enough because the opponent is perhaps difficult for the big league teams, let alone for us. It won't be a watershed, afterwards there will be many direct clashes, but with our ranking and with 15 games to go we can't think of going to Bergamo to just perform.
…ATLANTA
The Italian Cup match was an unfriendly test but neither they nor we approached it with the mentality of tomorrow's match. Atalanta's value at home doubles, they have important values, but we must continue on this path. We must show the same courage, the same personality as in the last match and facing one of the strongest teams in our championship will not be enough, so we will also have to do more.
…INJURY REPORT
Berardi won't be there, I will play in Domenico's place as happened against Torino with Bajrami and Defrel, we have Volpato back from yesterday and Castillejo is also there. I have the possibilities, the solutions, from the beginning and during construction. The most important thing is our mentality. We obviously respect them but we also have to think about ourselves, about bringing back the same attitude we had in the last few games, which means having personality in the game, not suffering a strong opponent in certain moments like what happens to us. In some respects we will have to be better than Toro because if we leave the space like in the goal conceded to Toro, Atalanta will be able to take advantage of it very well.
