17.00. Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini will shortly speak to the press about the match that just ended at the Unipol Domus.
5.17pm. The conference begins.
Did your team show solidity today?
“Absolutely, despite less energy due to the tough period. Only Lookman seemed a little tired to me. I'm happy to have a deep bench, that the number of players is still the same.”
Are Zaniolo and Carnesecchi increasingly decisive?
“Carnesecchi saved us in the first half, in the second half we positioned ourselves better. We found the goal with Zaniolo, he has improved a lot in dynamism, but he must work on managing the finish. We cannot afford to wake up the opponent.”
Was it the most complicated match of the period?
“It's a sign that I have a competitive group. We must work, I repeat, in managing the finale”:
What didn't work in the first half?
“We attacked inside, but we weren't able to be dangerous. Cagliari closed the spaces and proved to be more dangerous. In the second we conceded less and managed to create intensity. After finding the goal we contained the opponent.”
How is Hien?
“He took a blow to the ribs. We'll see the tests in the next few days.”
5.24pm. End of the conference.
