Jean Piero Gaspelini admits that Atalanta is challenging after moving within three points of his new leader, Inter, but he shoulders Ademora’s lookman controversy. “We’re all experts.”
It was a tense week for Radea, who crashed from the Champions League playoffs against Club Bruges.
In particular, about the striker’s claims to step up for a spot kick, despite what is called “one of the worst penalty takers I’ve ever seen.” , there was a bitter and very public line.
Lookman returned to Starting XI for the first time tonight in almost a month, scoring two great goals in a 5-0 victory over Emporio.
When Nigeria International was late replaced, he shook hands with assistant manager Tullio Gritti, but not particularly head coach.
“It’s a team that can win or lose, but the performance was generally good. We won Verona and Como, so we saw that a big team is losing today. So there are no easy fixtures,” Gasperini told Sky Sports Italia.
He chose a professional path throughout this moment, as it was placed on him that Lookman had begun anyway despite the controversy.
“I don’t know what you mean as a professional. We’re all experts here. We had a good game and we scored some good goals,” the coach replied.
Gaspelini can dream of the glory of Atalanta and Serie
This result puts them three points behind leaders Inter and Napoli, knowing that these two clubs will head straight to their heads next weekend.
“After 26 rounds, there’s an extraordinary position at the table. The next match will be with Venice, which is not easy, so when the head comes from the head next weekend, I’ll be closer to one or both. We hope that. The Atalanta campaign is extraordinary and we are extremely proud of it.
“Many things can also depend on the moment you play certain equipment. If you have a quality team at the bottom of the table and not 100%, it can cause big problems,” Gasperini said. added.
“We’re also going into the second half of the season and it’s decisive as many games start to get heavy at the top clubs. There are a lot of hidden dangers there, but that makes Serie so appealing. That’s why I’m doing it.”
Gaspelini always refused to even consider his status as a title contender, but in week 26, he was finally open to possibilities as the Champions League and Coppa Italia’s commitments were removed from the plate It’s become.
“We were extremely unlucky with a string of injuries, especially Scarbini, who had just returned and a series of scams. I can’t say we were hoping we were there, I was at the beginning of this season. , if we were still there in 10 rounds, we said we would talk. Now there is 12, but we are there. We were on the top of the table for a while.
“To be honest, after winning the Europa League and making certain plans, in June, I looked around and thought Inter was the only real option for the title, so I went to another position. We’ll try. What Naples did is extraordinary, but if we’re there, we can give it a try too.” concluded Gasperini.
