BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – “No team can feel like a favorite when playing against Real Madrid.” Gian Piero Gasperini throws water on the fire on the eve of the match against the Blancos at Gewiss Stadium. “We come to play an important match in our stadium, which is a little gem and for the people of Bergamo it is a fantastic appointment. But we know we are playing against a very strong team. The ranking at this moment is momentary, we are happy, but from here to think that Atalanta is superior to Real Madrid I think it goes a bit further. We will do our best to get a result, but we are a bit more cautious, it’s a bit exaggerated euphoria that we leave outside.” In August, in the challenge that put the European Super Cup up for grabs, Real got the better of them. “That moment seemed to be the highest point in the club’s history,” Gasperini recalls, “Then we didn’t get there very well because of market vicissitudes, but in spite of that for a good hour we managed to compete well. Compared to then we have included other players, many have risen in level…tomorrow’s match I think is a different match than the one in August.” Then a line about Lookman: “Today I think he is a team player, not that he didn’t want to play with the team before, but today he is able to play for the team, defend, make assists, that’s why I say he is one of our top players.” “It will be a very difficult game tomorrow for us, we will be very focused on how to set up the game,” the Nigerian striker himself says, “Tomorrow will be one more challenge for us, what we did in the past belongs to the past, we will have a way to give our best.
