On his birthday, Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at the press conference held at the Centro Bortolotti ahead of the 2023-2024 Serie A TIM matchday 22 fixture that will see Atalanta welcome Udinese to the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Saturday 27/1 at 15:00 CET: “Winning tomorrow would be a great birthday gift from the lads. Udinese’s table position does not reflect the team’s values. Against AC Milan, Udinese were in the lead with very little time left. We suffered in the reverse fixture and were lucky to remedy the situation in the dying minutes”.

“These games against struggling teams who also have values are difficult to play – added the Atalanta coach -. A win would be really important for the standings and to give continuity to this period.”
