Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at the press conference held at the Centro Bortolotti ahead of the first leg of the 2023-2024 Coppa Italia Frecciarossa semi-finals, which will see the Nerazzurri off to Florence to play Fiorentina away on Wednesday, 3 April, at 21:00 CEST: “I expect a balanced game, between two teams who know each other well. The first leg is all about laying the foundations for the return fixture. We will need to be careful and focused as we are up against quality opposition”.

April will be a challenging month for Atalanta as the Nerazzurri will be involved in three competitions: “It is a very proud moment for us right now. We have so many games ahead of us. Avoiding injuries is the most important thing at the moment. We are aware that we are living in a unique and exciting time.”
