Gian Piero Gasperini takes stock

Wednesday night’s match is yet another appointment with history for Atalanta, which will play against Barcelona in Montjuic for a chance to go directly to the Champions League round of 16 without going through the playoff. Gian Piero Gasperini, forò, will have to do without one of the most important pawns of the Nerazzurri chessboard, striker Ademola Lookman.

“Unfortunately, we expected it, he è dragged this physical problem from the game against Napoli – said the coach of the orobici to ‘Sky Sport’ -. Until now he had played on it, giving the feeling that he could still recover, but yesterday the discomfort è increased and the examinations confirmed a stop of three weeks. We hope it will be even less long”.

The examinations found a “distractive injury to the right knee with involvement of the lateral joint compartment”, as explained by the club. It is difficult, for Gasperini himself, for the management to intervene in the market to replace Lookman during the stop: “It’s a question that the club can answer better than I can, but I don&#39t think the situation can change today, there is too little time left until the end of the winter market”.

Against Barcelona, Atalanta is aiming to confirm the brilliant results of the first few days: in seven matches it has in fact earned 14 points, winning against Shakhtar (3-0), Stuttgart (2-0), Young Boys (6-1) and Sturm Graz (5-0), drawing against Arsenal and Celtic (0-0 in both matches) and losing only to Real Madrid, with a score of 3-2.

.

Conte began by saying, “There is still the Champions League qualification to conquer, a win would bring us closer, but we will try to bother Inter as much as possible from here to the end. In these 8 months in Naples I have understood that many things cannot be done. We must continue to feed the fans’ dream, we are doing something extraordinary for what were the premises, we are going beyond our possibilities.”

He continued, “You have not won on the road for 91 days, what do you think? The data are irrefutable, and one of them is that we are second -3 from Inter, that means we don’t even lose, the team has shown regularity. That said, we want to get back to winning on the road. Tomorrow it will be Rafa Marin’s turn.”

The Napoli coach continued: “How is Buongiorno? We are monitoring, we do not want to put dates, it is a delicate situation in defense, we hope he can recover as soon as possible, for tomorrow however zero alibi. Congratulations to Inter for passing the round, there was no need for this match to see its strength, this reinforces more our path, Italian soccer in recent years has always been respected in Europe, there is consistency.”

He then concluded, “Matches have to be played. When I was 16, Lecceretrocesso won with Roma and cost them the Scudetto. Games must be taken, we must stay with our antennae straight. Di Lorenzo got off to a rocket start, I expect more goals from him because he has the ability, hoping it will bode well as it did with McTominay.”

Juventus, good news from the infirmary: Bremer returns to running

Published

on

Juventus can finally smile: Gleison Bremer has made his return to the training field, a long-awaited sign that rekindles the hopes of Juventus fans. After six months of enforced stoppage due to a ruptured cruciate ligament, which occurred during the ill-fated Champions League match against Leipzig last October 2, the Brazilian defender has resumed running at Continassa.

The injury, which kept him out of the spotlight for much of the season, was a blow to Tudor’s team. Bremer, last season, had established himself as one of the leaders of the Juventus rearguard, thanks to solid performances, an imposing physical presence and quiet but effective leadership. His absence has weighed on the performance of the Bianconeri defense, which has struggled to maintain the same solidity without one of its key elements.

His return to the field, even if only for the first individual runs, represents a milestone on the road to recovery and instills optimism in the Juventus environment. It is not yet a return to the group, but the fact that Bremer has started working on the field is a clear sign of progress.

The Brazilian defender’s return is expected, however, not before the Club World Cup, which will see Juventus involved from Sat. June 14 to Sunday, July 13.
