At the end of the finishing training, the coachAtalanta Gian Piero Gasperini has released the list of players called up for tomorrow’s match against Celtic, a match valid for the third day of the ‘Championship Phase’ of the Champions League. Both Hien and Kolasinac are on the list, footballers struggling with the flu. Here is the complete list.
Goalkeepers – Rui Patricio, Carnesecchi, Rossi.
Defenders – Hien, Godfrey, Bellanova, Djimsiti, Ruggeri, Kolasinac, Palestra, Del Lungo, Zappacosta.
Midfielders – Pasalic, Ederson, De Roon, Samardzic, Manzoni, Vlahovic.
Attackers – Zaniolo, Lookman, De Ketelaere, Retegui.
Thus Gasperini on tomorrow’s opponents: “Celtic is an offensive team, like those who aspire to win – declared Gian Piero. If you want to win you have to score goals, they are a great team in Scotland, it is right that their football is offensive. In the Champions League there are very strong teams , when we had the first experiences in which we conceded many goals we later learned something, but we never gave up our way of seeing football.”
And again: “We discover our place every year through evolution, the inclusion of new players. We hardly manage to follow up on the previous season, we discover everything by playing, we certainly have to grow and improve each time. This year we are on the same page wave, we started with some results, but the negative one was against Como. In Turin we played a good match, the Champions League is the competition that also helps us improve in the championship they help us make leaps in quality.”
