(ANSA) – BERGAMO, 07 JUN – “In recent days I have read crazy things. Nobody has called a press conference. A great disinformation and that’s it, I ask the press to be serious”. Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta coach, denies the rumors about his farewell, on the sidelines of the award received by the Academy of Sport for Solidarity for his contribution to Bergamo during the pandemic.
“When I arrived six years ago I told the president that I would have wanted seven or eight players from the nursery for the public to identify with the team – remarks the coach -. I would not have imagined that we would have reached so high: it is absurd to speak of failure because after three you don’t go to the Champions League for years. You don’t do good at Atalanta: we can’t compete with the metropolitan squads in terms of numbers “.
On the future, Gasperini says he is ready: “The season ended with a little disappointment. But we set the record for points in the first round, the record of away wins and we took Bergamo around Europe – closes -.
The summer of Atalanta is all to be built. We start on July 4th with the preparation, there will be three opening days of the open market championship and this is an anomaly. I see three ways: an immediate boost like Zapata when Petagna and then Muriel left, taken by president Antonio and Luca Percassi with two blitzes; the rejuvenation starting from Scalvini and Koopmeiners who are already here; the third is to do little or nothing and watch. A decision must be made, there are two sporting directors and a club, not just the coach “. (ANSA).
