ANSA – BERGAMO, 10 NOV – “It wasn’t easy to change the card after defending badly in the first half and playing worse. But we played the first quarter of an hour of the second half on a completely different level and we bring it home with great satisfaction after having scraped the barrel without letting ourselves go”: Gian Piero Gasperini greets with a sigh of relief Atalanta’s victorious comeback over Udinese in a match with two faces. “We were out of phase in defending, in closing on the opponent on every attacking opportunity for Udinese, while up front we supported the game well – the Nerazzurri coach’s analysis -. They seemed drained of energy, but in the second half we found it again like the distances, scoring on two runs by Bellanova who, when he has space, shows a good run. In the end, however, it was a more controlled match.” Gasperini finds himself with three more injured players after the pair in the Champions League: “De Ketelaere is the closest to recovering, for Kolasinac it’s a first degree injury – he underlines -. For Zappacosta let’s see, it’s a problem with his left calf Djimsiti has to do a X-ray of the right ankle, for Zaniolo (injury to the left groin area, ed.) it doesn’t seem like anything serious to me but we have to wait at least a day.” (HANDLE).
