“We are facing a team that has quality and physical strength,” warned the Samp Coach in his Press conference.
“It is never easy to take on Gian Piero Gasperini’s teams, so we need to be really focused and we have prepared well. Atalanta have been challenging for the Europa League places for years and I respect them a great deal. It’s going to be very difficult.”
Riccardo Saponara and Vasco Regini are out injured, but Gregoire Defrel has shaken off a knock.
“Lorenzo Tonelli was coming off a period without playing much football, so took a while to find his form. Omar Colley needed time to adapt to the characteristics of Serie A.
“We are proud that so many of our players are called up for international duty. The lads ought to be pleased too, but at the same time understand that their experience is to be used to improve the group in total.”
