Atalanta’s Gian Piero Gasperini he believes it. He believes in history, in qualifying for the Europa League final after eliminating the super favorites Liverpool. The last obstacle is called Olympique Marseille, with the Goddess who will take the field at the Velodrome this evening for the first leg of the semi-final. As for the lineup, Gasp will focus on its starting block without too many calculations, starting from the forced absences of Holm, Toloi and Bakker due to injury and that of Hien due to disqualification.
“The roles of favorites count for little, what matters is how you play on the pitch, tomorrow we have more credibility because we eliminated Liverpool, but we always start from zero to zero. I hope to do better than the first leg in Florence, when there are two matches, there are always different attitudes. Our first ambition is to play a good match here and stand out, have courage and quality in facing this type of match”, explained Gasp in the press conference.
Also at his side was Mario Pasalic, who spoke as follows: “The atmosphere of tomorrow? I don’t expect anything in particular, we are used to playing in similar atmospheres, but it gives us a lot of stimuli. We need to isolate ourselves from all this, the pitch counts. In recent years we have already played two Italian Cup finals, it would be nice to reach a Europa League final, it would truly be a historic achievement.”
