BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “Atalanta is playing their best, they have improved a lot since the Super Cup challenge. Gasperini? I have known him since Juventus, we are very good friends, he is doing a great job in this team. Every year there are so many changes in the roster, but he knows how to take advantage of all the resources he has. The work he is doing is spectacular.” Carlo Ancelotti has honeyed words for his colleague on the eve of a particular Champions League challenge given that La Dea comes in with a better ranking than Real Madrid. For the Blancos it could be a decisive match for its path in Europe. “They are only three points and they are very important for qualification,” retorts the Reggiolo coach. “We have three more games, it will be difficult to place among the top eight teams, we will probably make a playoff round, but they are only three points. Saying that for Ancelotti “it is always special to play in Italy, I am 100 percent Italian,” as for the health of the blancos he assures, “I have a lot of confidence in the team and my players, we have the goal of finishing well this year, tomorrow will be the most complicated game of this final round of 2024. We are coming out of a difficult moment, we are recovering players, we are not arriving at the top but in a good moment. True, we lost to Liverpool and Bilbao but the team has regained some more solidity. To date the balance is not positive but the budgets are made in May which is what counts.”- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
