MONACO DI BAVIERA (GERMANY) (ITALPRESS) – “For us it is a reason of great pride, we are the only Italian who is in the eighth finals of Champions, we are really happy to be here and we will enjoy this evening.” He told the microphones of Sky Sport the technician of Atalanta Raffaele Palladino on the eve of the return match of the eighth Champions against the Bayern Munich, winning on the way to Bergamo for 6-1. “We know that recovering five goals against such a strong team is difficult, but we want to make a game worthy of an eighth final – added Palladino – We are also aware that we will face a full team, probably the strongest in Europe. We took too many goals on the way, in that match I changed because I lacked some players but I don’t think the systems will make you win or lose the matches, you have to give credit to the opponents.”.
Despite a more than hypothetical qualification, the Nerazzurri coach is convinced that his team will not be in front of a renunciation team: “They will play it to death, their mentality is this, we must be aware of that. I expect a game of pride, we compare against a strong team in front of many spectators, we will try to do our performance.” As for the training, “De Ketelaere and Ederson are available, for us they are two important players. We have also found Raspadori: we have heard their lack, they are all available and we will try to manage them in the best possible way to get him to find the condition,” said Palladino. “Of course the first game went wrong, we want to win a good result tomorrow, we will do everything to win the game. Comparison with Kane? It is always nice to play against the great champions, but nothing changes to me. Since I arrived in Italy I have always done everything to improve and it is the thing that I must continue to do,” he admitted in the press conference the defender of the orobici Isak Hien.
