Atalanta, now Gian Piero Gasperini dreams big

Thusì Gian Piero Gasperini, at the microphones of Dazn, after his Atalanta’s 4-0 success on the field of Juventus: “Football è this is it: you go from victories to defeats, you have to consider the whole path, Juve was coming from a series of victories, it was an unconfirmable match”.

“After these days played less frequently, some energy has been recovered – says again the Dea’s coach. We worked better during the week, this evening they had the right concentration and technique. In the end of the first half, we had the opportunity to make the second. They after the goals lost morale”.

But now does Atalanta dream? “People have to dream, you should never take away the dreams of the fans. We said that è always an impossible thing: if forò you strongly believe in it, things can also become possible”, he replies.

“Inter and Napoli are two strong teams everywhere, they never lose a blow – he continues -. On Sunday we have a game with Inter: against them we come from seven consecutive defeats. At this moment in the championship, it è never happened that we were in full fight for the title on day 30. Definitely è a great pleasure”.

Juventus, Thiago Motta no longer wants to hear about Scudetto

Thusì Juventus coach Thiago Motta speaks after the very heavy 0-4 defeat against Atalanta: “We are sad and sorry, you have put us into this scudetto story and now it will not be talked about anymore; we must start again immediately against Fiorentina and move on”.

“È it was a pity that the challenge unlocked like that, on a questionable penalty, and we knew it was going to be complicated – he continued to Dazn’s microphones – then we got unbalanced going forward: we are the second youngest team in the league, we left the field to players like Lookman and like the Nerazzurri outfielders and they counterattacked well”.

È Juve’s heaviest defeat at the Allianz Stadium and comes after disappointments in the Champions League and Coppa Italia: “But è different from the elimination against Empoli, I don’t put it at that level – the Bianconeri coach replied – also because we had started well today, then after the penalty episode è changed the challenge”.

Empoli-Roma, the irony of Claudio Ranieri, the regret of Roberto D’Aversa

Roma is going great with five consecutive victories and also in Empoli the Giallorossi confirmed the state of grace, with a very quick goal. But also many unclosed chances to double in the first half.

“I am a person of a certain ageà – Claudio Ranieri commented ironically -, you can’t make me stay on the who goes thereà until the end. We had to close it out, these are games that you draw in the end. We came here in a humble way, the return leg è difficult for everyone. The European commitment creates difficulties and many teams had problems in the league. I chose guys who were hungry to play. Now we can prepare well for the game against Athletic”.

The coach, when asked about the good performance of Soulé, glossed over it, preferring to praise his own en bloc: “I liked the whole team. I like practicality and not academics, for me playing well means winning games. When you have to score it has to be done. Shomurodov è a splendid guy, but not è a goleador. He was very sorry for the chances not materialized, but the important thing is to be in the right place at the right time. He solved several games for us”.

On the Empolese side Roberto D’Aversa obviously did not take well the false start of his team: “Roma especially in the first half could round off the result, they were unlucky and è Silvestri was good. But a team that has to save itself cannot è start like that. We cannot take goals in the first minute. In the second half we had to take advantage of the good fortune that we ended the first half with only a one-goal deficit, but we did not have the strength to go and equalize.

“What makes me most angry,” D’Aversa stressed, “is that we paid dearly for that mistake. I repeat, you can not concede a ball soì to a formation soì in form”. For the coach of the Tuscans, the team did not have the usual strength and aggressiveness”. “In the first half Roma would have deserved something more”. Beyondà the shot of our De Sciglio we did little”.
