The Dea coach: “I like him a lot, he’s aggressive, he attacks well, with pace. We have a very difficult match ahead of us.” Djimsiti: “Watch out for Chory, he doesn’t need much to score”
For Atalanta the match against Slavia Prague is “a fundamental stage in our European journey”. Words from Ivan Juric on the eve of the match against the Czechs, third match of the League Phase. For now the balance is a defeat against PSG (“The only match in which we suffered”, he says) and a victory against Bruges obtained at home. But pay attention to the opponent: “I like him a lot, he’s aggressive, he attacks well, with pace. We have a very difficult match ahead of us. It won’t be the team that lost 3-0 to Inter.”
choices

In the last training session there were 25 players available, including Sead Kolasinac, who returned to the group after 6 months but is unlikely to be called up: “It was great to see him back with us, we were pleased, but he is definitely not ready to play.” The recovered Bellanova, Zalewski and Kossounou “are able to start from 1′”, but the choices are still far from being definitive: “I still have to decide on the formation, including whether to play with Lookman or with a real striker up front”.

“In the last match we created a lot and did our best to score, it went badly in some cases, but in others we could have made better decisions, kicked better, passed better – continues Juric, analyzing the overall performance – but our feeling is extremely positive, with the regret of having left points along the way”. And then there are other improvements, those of Scamacca: “He showed me a bit of his talent but he has to reach the right condition to start playing, otherwise it takes away his confidence. He’s working like crazy. I see him getting better and better.”

Berat Djimsiti, among the veterans of the Nerazzurri group, places the emphasis on striker Chory, the number one threat: “I challenged him in the national team and he impressed me with how physical and good he is in the area, he doesn’t need much to score.” Then a message to his teammate Giorgio Scalvini, stopped by his fourth injury in 18 months: “He is very strong, he will also take this path that goes beyond the injury.” In the meantime, room for Ahanor: “The age differences in football are enormous, but on the pitch they are zero. Honest plays with great experience. He deserves it because in training he gives everything, I hope he becomes even stronger”.
