THE’Atalanta wins again. Gasperini’s team beats 1-0 Cagliari and scores 10 wins in a row in the championship, thus maintaining the top spot independently of the other results of the day. However, the Dea’s success was by no means a given and for the entire first half they suffered from the enthusiasm and energy of Davide Nicola’s men, whose only regret was not having found the goal also due to a super Carnesecchi. Then he thought about it in the second half Nicolò Zaniolo on an assist from Bellanova to take the Nerazzurri’s chestnuts out of the fire.
Nicola’s words
“There are no regrets, we met two teams who scored 16 wins and finishing both games with the feeling that we could have taken 2 points is gratifying. It must give us awareness, by working like this sooner or later you get what you deserve. We must give credit to a strong opponent but also to say that today Cagliari played a great match.”
Gasperini’s words
“Especially in the end, we lived up to what this victory represented. In the first half we created little and in the end we were also lucky. In the second we changed structure and played a great game and took the lead. Then after the goal it was a bit of immaturity came out, we didn’t exploit the spaces and immediately suffered some of their balls in the area but we were good with the defenders and midfielders there.”
