Gian Piero Gasperini said Atalanta faced Inter “with enthusiasm and courage, even if it meant taking a few risks” in this evening’s draw.
The hosts dominated the first half with numerous scoring opportunities and 11 shots on goal, but became increasingly tired and the Nerazzurri did better after the break.
“We put in a great first half performance, especially the last half-hour going into the break, as we pressed them very high and created several good chances,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“Clearly, Inter are very dangerous when they get into spaces, but we had them under the cosh. We suffered a little more in the second half, but overall I think it’s a fair point, even if neither side is happy with the result.”
Atalanta were missing Josip Ilicic, Andrea Petagna and Leonardo Spinazzola, so Gasp opted to give 19-year-old striker Musa Barrow his first Serie A start.
“He did well and made a very good full debut in the role he plays for the youth team. He knows where the goal is, as you could see this evening.
“We met a very strong Inter side, playing with enthusiasm and courage, even if it meant taking a few risks. It’ll boost our confidence going forward.”
