De Roon, record attendance with party: “Scudetto? Let’s play for our goals.”

On the day of the triumph ofAtalanta at Maradona, in the presence of the league leaders NapoliAlso Marten De Roon reaches a truly important milestone: the Dutch midfielder has reached altitude 281 appearances in Serie A with the Dea shirt, becoming the Nerazzurri player to have played the most matches in the top divisions with the Orobic club, joining Angeleri and Bellini.

“It’s a pride and an honour, but I prefer to talk about the team that had a great performance in Naples today and demonstrated that it is a high-level team”. The Dutchman, like Gasperini, also prefers to dribble the word Scudetto: “We are not thinking about the Scudetto yet, it is a word that is still very far from what our objectives are: we must remain humble and play for our objectives, thinking match by match . Then we’ll see where we can get to in the end.”

On the secrets of this Atalanta, De Roon provides a very precise explanation: “We have a very clear way of playing: we always play under high pressure, we want to keep the attackers high. Napoli wanted to push with the full-backs today, so De Ketelaere and Lookman had plenty of chances to go one-on-one and made the most of the opportunities. We often train in practice matches, everyone knows how to move depending on the game system chosen by the opponent and we have very clear ideas.”
