Gian Piero Gasperinicoach ofAtalantagave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport at the Trento Festival, speaking about his current status: “I have always fought the mentality of results at all costs. It can’t just be that, the result is trying to surpass oneself and one’s goals. There is a path that everyone we who are in football do, but success is not achieved only with the result. The rest is often done only to create pressure, but mistakes are used to improve and move forward.”
He convinced Bergamo, not an easy city.
“In Bergamo there is a great attachment to the team. I became involved over time with a great sense of belonging to this team. Then we achieved many important results, initially with a very young team that I liked a lot and which gave me great satisfaction. They had crazy adrenaline inside them in those years. We always scored in the first twenty minutes of every match.”
Guardiola said that playing against Atalanta is like going to the dentist. Do you like it as a definition?
“Maybe we’ve gone further, we’ve become a little more than annoying because Atalanta doesn’t think about limiting the damage, rather doing damage to their opponents. And this regardless of who you have in front of you.”
