BRUGES (BELGIUM) (ITALPRESS) – “Bruges is an opponent we have already seen since they played against Juventus and Milan, it will be a Champions game, it will be played over 180 minutes. It does not resemble opponents we have faced recently, every team has its own typicalities, it is a team that even in the last game with Manchester held the field very well, it is young and has great intensity.” Gian Piero Gasperini does not trust the Belgian side, which will host Atalanta tomorrow in the first leg of the Champions play-offs. “They, like all the teams that play Champions, are used to winning in their respective leagues,” he told Sky Sport microphones. “These teams attack with many men, on the athletic level they manage to play with a lot of intensity, when you think you have a bit of supremacy they never give up, they always play, there are never dips. We will have to be good.” La Dea stroked a chance to enter the round of 16 directly and in the end was the first of the excluded. “We came ninth in this ranking, we had a good run, I think playing Champions is always a great emotion, we always play games that we then take to the league. The risk is to have injuries, it’s something we are suffering now, but it’s the only risk, for us it’s always good to play Champions.” For Gasperini, “the games in Europe is more what they add than what they take away, the experiences you get is higher than the negative things and the difficulties. We play a lot, in ten days this is the fourth game, and they have all been high level matches.”- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
