Gian Piero Gasperini spoke in his press conference on the eve of Atalanta-Napoli of the 2020-2021 Serie A TIM matchday 23. “A game as important as the one against Napoli is ideal for not thinking too much about Real Madrid. This is the best way to put all the attention on tomorrow’s game which is important for the league. We head into the game after a good training week and now we’re back playing three games within eight days”.

The Nerazzurri are facing a team who have 40 points like them, even though with one game fewer played. Besides, Atalanta have already faced Napoli twice in the Coppa Italia. “I expect a good Napoli side as always. They are a strong team, with quality and values. The fact we have recently faced each other twice makes both teams’ strengths and weaknesses fresher. It was two good games from our side, but we’ll start all over again tomorrow. With sixteen rounds to go, it can’t be decisive, yet they’re starting to be important games. We undoubtedly want to do well in the league. And the match in Cagliari was positive, in this respect”.
