BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “This is the game, it will be very important, comes a month from the end of the championship. It is a crucial race, it takes for granted what has been done, but if we look back we must be proud of the climb made. We don’t change anything, we’re proud of the route. We are loaded.” Raffaele Palladino traced the line in the press conference, the Atalanta is there and wants to conquer the final of Coppa Italia after the 2-2 of the trip to the Olimpico against Lazio.
“It’s as if it were a dry game, from inside or outside – the Nerazzurri coach explained in the press conference, on the eve of the semi-final return – You don’t have to think about additional times and possible rigours, we have to try to win this race, Lazio will have the same mentality, we will try to go to the field with that mentality to win. We would like to live one night from Atalanta, as against Chelsea and Dortmund. The field factor is very important, playing in front of our fans is fundamental, Sunday they gave us this strong hug, all the people want this final, we perceived it and we want to give it to them. The boys know how they come to this game, you have to have the right maturity, we face a team of values. They are trained by a great coach (Sarri, ndr), there are so many pitfalls.”.
Palladino then reiterated the confidence that came from all the people of Bergamo, on Sunday there was the training open to the public with the hug of about 9 thousand fans: “We want to make an important, serious game, it could be the fastest route to get to Europa League. The sensations are positive, I give this feeling to my boys too, for the championship we will think after this game. I think it’s still open, but the message I’ve always given, we won’t quit, the important thing is to get to the last game having given everything for this shirt. Play the semi-final after fifty days? It is as if they were two different competitions – said Palladino – After the elimination from the Champions League we had the opportunity to work on details and put in condition the players who had had had some problems”.
