"We cannot talk about goals with many teams within 3-4 points, but it is clear that being at the top of the standings helps to overturn matches like the one with Sassuolo."
Gian Piero Gasperini, after the victory over the neroverdi, does not hide his satisfaction with the progress of his Atalanta: "We are in good condition, we have a good leg and we create an opportunity, we push and we have great conviction. Maybe at the beginning we weren't beautiful, but effective yes - his analysis - 24 points in 10 games without particular episodes are a great merit for these players, who started amid skepticism and curiosity for the team that would be seen. We have out Musso, Toloi, Zappacosta and Zapata, last year in this period there were Ilicic, Gosens and Pessina ".
Gasperini underlines the presence of the 'Zingonia school' within the staff: "Having many players who left the youth sector in the final is important. Okoli and Scalvini are experiencing a frightening growth and have great personality, I liked Ruggeri how he is entered, Zortea maybe does some strange things like trying the tunnels thirty seconds from the end but she has great strength that you can work on ".
A look at the next matches: "Now we will have very strong teams at home to compete with, Lazio, Napoli and Inter. Djimsiti could be available for a segment, we don't have many solutions in defense. Zapata returns to training with the team, Toloi needs an extra week. "
Finally, on the individuals who alternate in front: "Pasalic knows how to score goals,
he had another chance, if he can squeeze in centrally he can score very close.
He knows how to find space and time - closes the Nerazzurri coach -.
Boga is training well, he has lost some weight, he has polished himself and the conditions were there for him to enter tonight.
He didn't do very well, he lost too many balls, but the spirit is there. "
