Gian Piero Gasperini tries to analyze with clarity and serenity the heavy defeat at San Siro against Inter: “I must say that the first 10 minutes also determined the mood and morale of this team, which will be able to count on all available players after the break – he explains – Today we were struggling especially in defense. Our championship will start after the break, but despite the strongly negative result, I saw boys who tried to hold the field well, I have to focus on the best things they did and restart with a more complete squad.” On the motivations of a squad still to be settled: “Unfortunately, there have been difficulties right from the start. The market started well with excellent operations, especially in terms of outgoing transfers; players left who created great capital gains added to the income from the Champions League. There was an opportunity to invest, at this time the team is all to be built.”
“We will restart after the break with 10-11 new players”
Can this Atalanta be better than the previous one? “I don’t know, the club has invested a lot and has made a lot. We have lost important players, like Scamacca, Scalvini, Lookman, and Koop who might be worth even more millions. We will restart after the break with 10/11 new players, trying to study them to put them in the best conditions to play. We have to experiment in the league what we couldn’t do in these days because the players arrived only at the last minute.”
