The Atalanta coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, in view of the match against Olympique Marseille in the Europa League, spoke about the challenge valid for the first leg semi-final and the welcome that his players will find inside the Velodrome, ready to push the French. Watch the video again with the words of the Dea coach: “The stadium is wonderful, we all know the passion and enthusiasm it brings with it but on the pitch we will be equal, eleven against eleven, and we will play it”.
Atalanta is the only Italian team still in the running on all fronts. What does all this inspire you?
“It’s a source of great pride for all of us, the season has been incredible so far. Let’s hope May will be a great month for us.”
What is the mistake not to make?
“We won’t think about what we did against Liverpool. I expect a Marseille of Europe, given that the French team’s performance in the championship has been mixed.”
Some fans have already bought tickets to Dublin for the final, what do you feel like saying?
“I suggest we come here to Marseille tomorrow, let’s think about one game at a time. Tomorrow will be the first half of the double challenge, we want to do well. We have conquered Rome, if we will also be able to go to another capital like Dublin we will only know in one week. We are playing on all tables but undoubtedly the Europa League is the one we like the most.”
