After the seasonal debut in the Champions League against Bologna (which ended 0-0), another Italian opponent arrives for Shakhtar Donetsk on the second day of the top European competition, namely Gasperini’s Atalanta. The midfielder Georgiy Sudakovin a press conference, presented the challenge like this: “We know that Atalanta is a very strong team. They won the Europa League, even at European level they are strong and play with an aggressive style on the pitch. They are energetic and know how to build the game. We have to play at our best to put into practice what we know tactically. First of all, show our qualities thanks to individual battles”, some of the words reported by CalcioAtalanta.it.
“We will listen to our coach – continues Sudakov speaking of his coach Pusic – and he will tell us what to do. In Bologna we cannot say that we have failed, we worked hard and we can still achieve our objectives. We will try to do so in the near future, our The goal is to bring smiles to the faces of our fans.”
“By analyzing the two teams – concludes Sudakov in the words reported by CalcioAtalanta.it -, I like Bologna more than Atalanta, but the two teams are similar. Atalanta is perhaps more aggressive in recovering the ball. It will depend on us, on how we play and show our strength.”
