“I’m FINISHED! My defenders are SCARED of HIM!” Atalanta Coach DROPS BOMBSHELL on the ONE Arsenal player DOMINATING European Football!
Atalanta’s head coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, recently praised Arsenal ahead of their upcoming Champions League encounter, while expressing confidence in his squad’s ability to deliver another surprise result. Gasperini, who led Atalanta to Europa League success last season, including a notable victory over Liverpool, is preparing for a difficult match against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal as part of the newly structured Champions League. Atalanta’s main objective is to secure a spot in the knockout stages under this fresh format.
The 66-year-old coach also revealed that Ademola Lookman is fit and available for the game against Arsenal, acknowledging the Premier League side’s quality but emphasizing Atalanta’s determination. “We’re not yet on par with these top clubs, but we always play for a result, and tomorrow will be no different,” Gasperini stated.
He added, “Facing such a strong opponent allows us to gauge our own progress. I don’t know Arteta personally, but I have great respect for him as a coach. His team is organized, solid, and plays beautiful football. Their recent results are impressive, even though they fell short of winning the Premier League.”
Reflecting on Atalanta’s achievements, Gasperini remarked, “We had a great run in the Europa League, winning a title that had eluded us for years. Now, our challenge is to remain competitive in the Champions League. Breaking into the top eight will be difficult, but to stay within the ninth to twenty-fourth range, we must aim to secure points in every match.”
