Gasperini: “Scudetto? Football pushes towards more popular teams”

The Atalanta coach on Radio Anch’io: “Three times in the Champions League, we turned on the spotlight but … For us, the Italian Cup is the most achievable goal”

Scudetto and more. From second place in the league, two points behind the leaders in Naples, Gian Piero Gasperini, guest of Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1, does not hide but specifies: “The world of football pushes towards completely different directions, towards teams that have more below. This seems to be the main requirement “. But the results are in hand, the Nerazzurri are there and the coach points out: “We cannot say that we are fighting for the Scudetto for our resources, just like Udinese, who are doing important things. Champions means having turned on all the spotlights “.

The objectives

Still unbeaten, the only team with Napoli, Atalanta can, however, put important goals in their sights right now. “For a team like Atalanta, the Italian Cup is the most attainable goal – underlines Gasperini – – Champions and Europa League are even more difficult for the Italian teams … We have reached the final in the Italian Cup twice, not we managed to win, but it is the most possible goal “. For 7 years on the Nerazzurri bench, Gasperini also spoke about what is an anomaly in football. “It’s my seventh year, it’s unusual for a coach to stay so long in the same club in our league – admitted the ex from Genoa, Inter and Palermo – In Bergamo I found an ideal environment to work, reaping a lot of satisfaction”.

Injuries

Gasperini also took stock of the situation of the injured: “From tomorrow Zapata will train with the team, he could already be available for the next match. For Toloi it will take an extra week: at the moment we are emptying the infirmary”. The plan for the long break for the World Cup is already ready: “Four friendlies with foreign teams”.
