BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “Arsenal? It’s a team I appreciate a lot, it’s very compact and organized, it’s a good example of soccer, the results speak for them even if they failed to win the Premier.” This was stated by Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini in a press conference on the eve of the match against Arsenal, a match valid for the first day of the new Champions League. “The goal is to stay inside the competition, it will be difficult in the top eight. To stay between ninth and 24th we have to take points in every game, we start with a very tough hurdle, but it will be an opportunity to measure ourselves,” the Nerazzurri coach added. “I am happy to see my old teammates again, it is special, I am happy to make my Champions League debut here tomorrow. – added defender Sead Kolasina – It is always difficult to play against English teams, they are physically strong. We often watch the Premier League, we know it will be difficult tomorrow but we have prepared well. Arsenal won the North London derby, the team is confident regardless of the last results. They have great players and are solid in defense.”- Photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS).
