“Over the years, Atalanta has had an excellent path with Gasperini and despite selling several players there is a very specific identity.” Leonardo Semplici fills Gian Piero Gasperini’s team with praise at the microphones of Radio Kiss Kiss Naplesjustifying Conte’s men in some way: “It’s always very difficult to face Atalanta due to the quality the team has at the moment. The Azzurri are well prepared on a physical level, the coach asks a lot from that aspect. In my opinion Napoli were more than tired and were in difficulty due to the way Gasperini’s team interpreted the matches.”
Does this defeat undermine Napoli and send a signal for the Scudetto?
“The result is a bit unexpected, but if taken in the right way this defeat can also be healthy. Napoli has great qualities, has important players and we glimpsed the Napoli of the past even if not from a playing point of view. Then Mr. Conte’s experience is there and therefore Napoli can fight for the tricolor or in any case can get back into the top four.”
What went wrong?
“New coach, new methods, changes and there could be an accident along the way. In Milan we will see a Napoli eager for revenge and I think the match will be good on both sides.”
