Joakim Maehle he experienced ups and downs during his adventure at Atalanta, and after his arrival at Wolfsburg, he decided to take some pebbles off his shoes.

During the press conference following the retirement of the national team, the Danish full-back commented on his experience in Bergamo under the court of Gian Piero Gasperini: “At Atalanta the coach decided everything. There was no freedom. Even though I lived in a nice place and the weather was nice, I didn’t have time to enjoy it because we spent so many days at the training center. It was very tough mentally. I was also criticized by Gasperini because Rasmus Hojlund drove with me to training, which I had agreed with the company. After a while you get angry and tired”.

The former Atalantino then explains the reason for his departure: “I needed a new challenge in my career. At Atalanta I was one of many, while at Wolfsburg I feel part of the project and there’s more humor in the dressing room.”
