Gian Piero Gasperini: “We wanted this win”
Parma-Atalanta post-match interview
With the win over Parma, the Nerazzurri set yet another record: they have won 11 matches on travels this season. The Nerazzurri coach Gian Piero Gasperini cannot help but be happy and satisfied: "A tough match, a desired win".
Here is the interview with the Nerazzurri Head Coach.
"We wanted this win in the second half. We turned a difficult match around, that was probably the worst first half we have had. It seemed we were struggling a lot, we didn't have our usual spirit. While in the second half the team responded well and played a great second half".
Malinovskyi scored the equaliser with a free kick, it was an incredible bomb and then that stunner from Papu Gomez.
"We have these talents. We had already got close and the squad were totally different, they were creating chances. We fired some shots. At that point, when the team play this way, confidence grows. Then the goal came on a free kick, fine, but it's Malinovskyi's style to score this type of goals. Then Papu's goal, Gosens could score, Zapata could as well, Muriel too. When the team manage to burst into the attack, they find solutions".
It's a record for away wins. It had been matched the last time, now it's a full-fledged record.
"This squad deserve to have these records and not to share them. It's fair they have them on their own. Hopefully they can be broken in the future, that will mean that Atalanta are even stronger".
The last match of the season is finally here. This Saturday, what a match, Atalanta-Inter and it's a match that counts for the table.
"Yes. At this point it's a decider. We're all close there. It will be a matchday played simultaneously. Where you can go from second to fourth place in no time".
It's been an incredible season for Atalanta, a deserved, desired campaign from a wonderful Atalanta.
"Numbers say it all. For this reason, we would like to finish it with a new record, for the team and the club. This would be the crowning achievement of an odd campaign, which had this unbelievable suspension. The biggest regret was not having the chance to rejoice with the audience, with our fans. As this season was unique".
