On Saturday at 15 Atalanta-Turin and Sassuolo-Spezia
"The semi-final is the priority".
The head of Atalanta is already beyond Turin: "We will give our best, but on Wednesday with Napoli the final of the Italian Cup is at stake", the premise of Gian Piero Gasperini.
For the second return, however, there is an opponent who had other ambitions finding himself stuck at the bottom of the standings.
The players react to the change of coach: Davide Nicola made important results for Crotone and Genoa in difficult situations. "No fear of a possible bus in front of the area, a circumstance that usually slows down the Bergamo players (Spezia, Bologna, Genoa, Udinese) : "For teams like this, every game is decisive for salvation, in the league we are playing as if they were in the last 7-8 - reflects the coach -.
Closed teams play their game between set pieces and counter attacks: we must be good at exploiting opportunities.
All of them lose points against the low-medium ones. "The air is good in Zingonia:" I am very satisfied with the guys, who play with great enthusiasm in a very unusual period.
