After the 3-1 over Spezia, the Bergamo coach reiterates that it does not depend solely on him, but adds bitterly: “It seems that arriving in the Europa League is a failure”
Having cleared the peak, Atalanta is still alive for a place in Europe and the fight continues. Twelfth victory away from home almost overwhelmed and now it’s up to Milan, a very delicate challenge. Scudetto fight on the one hand, fight against Europe on the other, but also the future of Gian Piero Gasperini, not so obvious and yet to be written.
THE MEETING
–
Few inaccuracies in a difficult match since Thiago Motta’s Spezia is not safe yet, but on the first goal … “I got a little angry about their goal, it’s those situations in which the coach has to be ashamed. In the end, however, the team played very well, in all departments and net of the heavy mistake we always led the match giving very little to a good team. ”
EUROPE
–
After years firmly in Europe, seeing Atalanta out of the race, for a place this season too, would have been a novelty.
“Away we have always been very prolific, unfortunately we lacked the performance at home. It would be a fantastic goal to return to Europe even if not in the Champions League. I think we have lowered our level and those who were behind us got up. Staying in the first range is not easy. ”
THE FUTURE
–
What about next season? Gasperini, for six years in Bergamo has had a contract renewed last October which, technically, would see him on the bench of the Bergamo team until 2024, but …
” It seems that finishing sixth is a failure. It seems to me a bit of a distortion of thinking. If Atalanta can win something, it is an Italian Cup and it would still be a challenge. I signed a contract, it is clear that things have changed a bit, a lot depends on what the club decides. I am absolutely available for any solution. I have enormous gratitude. If I go on, I will do it with the utmost enthusiasm. “
The season finale will therefore be decisive not only for Atalanta, but also for the future of the Piedmontese coach
