“Rey Manaj is back and he could even play. We won’t have Valerio Verre, who has this irritating foot injury,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“I have clear ideas on my line-up, but don’t want to talk about that. Our philosophy is clear, but we need to improve our movement off the ball and I’d like to underline we’ve only conceded one goal with our defence in the right position – that was from Mauro Icardi.

“The problems occur when we give the ball away cheaply and certainly need to work better in that sense.”

Pescara have received compliments for their style of football, but haven’t managed a single victory this season. The only win was handed to them by the Disciplinary Commission for Sassuolo fielding an irregular player.

“If Pescara had the secret to playing badly and winning, we’d take it. I’m not stupid! However, that secret doesn’t exist. We have to play the way we know how and whittle down our defects.

“I am convinced this team will react soon and get back on its feet. It’ll be difficult with Atalanta, as they are strong and experienced, ready to pounce on opposition errors.”

Pescara squad for Atalanta: Fiorillo, Bizzarri, Aldegani; Crescenzi, Biraghi, Campagnaro, Coda, Zampano, Fornasier, Zuparic; Benali, Bruno, Cristante, Aquilani, Brugman, Memushaj, Mitrita; Manaj, Caprari, Muric, Pepe, Pettinari
