Champions: Atalanta Liverpool. Gasperini: 'The strongest doesn't always win'

'The strongest don't always win.

We will certainly not distort ourselves: with due attention, we will propose our game. "Gian Piero Gasperini sends a warning to Klopp's Liverpool, who on the eve of the match valid for the possible overtaking at the top of Champions League Group D has filled with congratulations to his Atalanta ("Like Leeds, better than Ajax"): "It is a great compliment to have attracted the attention of a reference for all the coaches - the premise of the Nerazzurri coach -.

It gives more charm to the challenge against the world champion team that won the penultimate edition of the cup.

We can measure ourselves against the number one in the world: a way to test our level of organization and our ability to be a team ".

    The comparison with last year's double match against Guardiola's Manchester City is inevitable, with a 5-1 defeat away from home and 1-1 at San Siro: "The level of difficulty is the same, they are very valuable teams. similar even if with different characteristics despite the apparently identical form - the Bergamo coach reasoned -. We will see how competitive we can be: with the City we have acquired knowledge, experience and skills while suffering a lot, also useful in terms of the championship ".
