The former footballer Thomas Manfredini was a guest of Maracanatransmission of TMW Radio.
What is the main reason why Atalanta must believe in the Scudetto race after the victory over Napoli?
“Since Gasperini arrived, something has changed in the club’s mentality too. The bar has been raised a lot, spectacular football, every year the players change but they also do better. It’s a shame, this year there have also been injuries that have made sure that he started with the handicap, including the departure of Koopmeiners, for me a little thought on the the company will also demonstrate this in the summer by spending a lot.”
We talk about Berardi:
“I had the opportunity to play for him when he was young, he is certainly a player who fits into a great team. He is very attached to the club but in recent years some rumors have come out, perhaps it is time to make the big leap. Now or never “.
Is Lookman an underrated player in Serie A?
“Very strong, but I’ve seen many players who have done amazing things with Gasperini and once he’s gone they’ve dropped off. He’s very strong in an Atalanta team that splits matches. I don’t know how Gasp manages to make everyone perform at their best. There’s something of magic in Bergamo and Lookman is also taking advantage of it.”
Will Koopmeiners return to the one seen at Atalanta?
“It’s a big question mark. You play in a different way, with Atalanta on a physical level they had excessive power which they lost today due to some small problems. Atalanta’s levels, even if some did well, you can hardly find them anymore “.
Can Zaniolo become important for Atalanta?
“He hasn’t played too much for many years, he needs a club that gives him playing time and in Bergamo there are too many people who are better than him. And so you struggle to find conditions.”
