Francesco Modestocoach of Atalanta U23, in view of the match against Alcione Milano, as can be read on calcioatalanta.itdeclared: “Tomorrow we expect a team that is structured and has grown over time, that runs and has gained self-esteem. It will be a good match and one to experience. The fact that there are no large stadiums and particularly homogeneous playing fields is part of the journey and about getting dirty for the kids. The relationship with the first team? To date, Gasperini is one of the best coaches around and I know what he gives the players to express themselves.
Yesterday Vlahović was called up and Palestra, who was with us, played. I don’t know if Vanja will be able to make the leap: it’s not up to me to decide, but he’s a guy with super perspective. Getting to the top floors seems like a small step, but in reality it’s not like that: to stay there you also need to have high levels of concentration.”
