BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “Lookman and Kolasinac have recovered, they are summoned. We will probably lose Hien. We have to play a better game than the first leg, in the second half we had chances to go ahead, overall we have to play a game two steps up.” That’s what Gian Piero Gasperini is asking of his Atalanta on the eve of the Champions play-off return match against Bruges. “On the penalty in the first leg we have largely said everything, the result is this and we have to try to win the game. What happened in the first leg, in terms of the result, has been amply documented. We will not leverage that aspect,” assures Gasperini, who is confident of the Gewiss Stadium’s boost. “Everything is important, the public affects and can be in many respects decisive, but we have to play a very good match. With City I saw a very pliant team – the Bruges’ praise – they have youngsters who turn the action around, to get through this round we have to play a good match in all aspects, they made a very good impression on me. It’s a match that will last 90 minutes, we will have to take measures and create opportunities, we will need concentration.” “There must be a lot of anger and a lot of desire for revenge – the words instead of Davide Zappacosta – This match is very important for all of us, we know that if we bring our values on the field, not only technical ones, we can turn the game around. We are confident, we will do our best to win it. The penalty? Tomorrow we will have another game, we have to try to turn disappointment into energy, too much has been said about the penalty, we have to think only about the field.”- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
