Trident temptation: Gian Piero Gasperini he is thinking about it for today's match (6pm) against Empoli. The idea is to deploy “the three pure attackers immediately and not an attacking midfielder adapted to an even more advanced and decentralized position”, he writes La Gazzetta dello Sport on newsstands today. So room for De Ketelaere on the right, Lookman on the left and Retegui to fill the penalty area: a move that Atalanta hasn't made since 2 December, when the experiment was seen at the Olimpico against Roma.
De Roon's words: “Sometimes I see Gasperini enjoying what we do”
Marten de Rooninterviewed by Gazzetta dello Sportexplains the objectives of league leaders Atalanta: “They ask us if we're playing for the scudetto: we don't say that word, but it's difficult to deny that you're there and you use clichés like: “It's still a long way off…”. But there will come a time when to which we will have to say: here are our objectives. Not yet: I still see Inter as the strongest. Have I ever had to put a partner back on the ground? I doubt it will help: the coach will take care of it…
In Cagliari we won and he just told us: this is not the level we need to show to get to the top. One thing Gasperini has changed? Maybe, at least every now and then, I see him enjoying what we do more. The speech bubble, if it were a comic: “My goodness, what are we doing””.
