During his speech on Roma’s official channels, the former defender Marco Motta he focused on tomorrow’s match against Atalanta: “You’re talking about another team that has enormous value for me. I started at Atalanta when I was 7 years old. I realized my dream on 9 January 2009, making my debut in Serie At the Olimpico against Roma I’ll let you imagine what Roma-Atalanta means to me. Not only that, in an Atalanta-Roma match I also reached 100 games in the Serie A. They are two teams that have a special value.
Atalanta is certainly doing something unique. Gasperini, who was my coach at Genoa, in my opinion is a great coach and I’m happy he’s having these results. At the time he went a little against the trend and today he is doing something totally unique. he managed to transform a club, a city and a fan base, giving it a different value and dream. it’s something that in my opinion is priceless. Furthermore, every year it does more and more. Every time you think it’s impossible and instead he makes it possible.
We are talking about Atalanta playing for the scudetto, which until a few years ago was unthinkable. This is the wonder of this sport. It won’t be an easy match for Roma because Atalanta are in extraordinary form, with the psychological factor that allows them to think that they can do anything, giving them an extra sprint. It won’t be easy but I think Roma are regrouping well. It’s Roma, it has important players and values and a coach who knows how to put it on the pitch. I think it will be a good match.”
