The 5-0 against Bolonia marked Atalanta's tenth victory in the last 12 games for Calcio. Those from Bergamo, waiting for tomorrow's Lazio-Milan, seconds go by, 11 points behind Inter's leadership, and they continue to march towards their third classification in a row to the Champions (the third in its history). An objective that, with the Super League, would have been very complicated.
And Gian Piero Gasperini, the Dea coach, spoke with indignation on 'Sky Sport': “There are teams that offer my players seven, eight times what they earn here. I always tell them 'if you offer them double what they charge, they come anyway'. The problem comes if all of us have to pay the debts of these clubs“.
For coach Dea, last Monday they were close to “not playing again”. “Imagine tonight's game,” he said, “we dream of the Champions League to meet Madrid again. With the Super League, today's game was of no use. And all to save 12 clubs. “
Gasperini confessed his fear: “I thought for a moment that everything was over, luckily the English, thanks also to coaches like Klopp and Guardiola, they took a step back. If not, for Atalanta it would have been the end. ” “What was left?” Asked the Italian, “A competition with 15 fixed and 5 guests? No, thanks. I would have said no to this invitation ”.
