BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “These last two wins have turned the standings around, but this is another competition. The points start to be heavier in the third day, we already have the opportunity to consolidate a better ranking in the Champions League as well.” This was stated by Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini during the press conference on the eve of the Champions League match against Celtic. “I hope, as always, for a beautiful and enjoyable soccer match,” the Nerazzurri coach stressed, “Then there is always an agonistic component that must be within the limits of the rules, but these are two accustomed teams. Celtic is a team accustomed to playing to win, they have fast players, we will have to play a very good match to try to win this game.” “Retegui? We have already said everything and more. He can do even more, he can grow even more,” Gasperini continued, “We discover our placement every year through evolution, the inclusion of new players. We can hardly follow up the previous season, we discover it by playing, certainly we have to grow and improve each time. This year we are on the same wavelength, we started with a few such results, but the negative one was with Como. In Turin we had a good game, Champions is the competition that helps us improve in the league as well. If we have depth and the ability to grow,” concluded the Orobic coach, “competitions like tomorrow help us make quality leaps. “The 50 career goals in Serie A? I always try to do the good of the team, when a historic goal comes it is always nice especially looking at the list of players who are all strikers. I have no personal goals, I always think about the team and doing the best – the words in the conference of Atalanta and Croatian national team midfielder Mario Pasalic – The new Champions League? In soccer every match has its own story, you have to be 100 percent to face everything. Even now, after Celtic we will have to think only about Verona and start again immediately.”- Photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
