“We deserved to win”: Gasperini reflects on memorable victory over Milan

Start

Atalanta secured a significant victory against AC Milan, winning 2-1 in a thrilling match that showcased their resilience and determination. The goals from Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman were pivotal, while Rafael Leao’s first-half equalizer for Milan proved insufficient. Following the match, Atalanta’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, shared his thoughts with Sky Sport.

Gasperini expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating, “For us, it’s a great victory against a team with very strong players, among the best in the league. We deserved to win, with superior numbers in everything.” His pride in the team’s effort was evident as he emphasized their relentless pursuit of victory throughout the match. “We never settled for a draw; we aimed to win,” he added.

When asked if this was the best version of Atalanta he had coached, Gasperini reflected on his attachment to all his teams. “This team is finding results superior to others, but I cannot make those rankings,” he remarked, highlighting his appreciation for the collective journey of his squad.

The discussion then shifted to officiating, where Gasperini remarked on the tendency to divert attention from the game itself. “If the attempt is to talk about something other than the match… I have no intention of commenting; I don’t recall any errors. I want to emphasize the team’s performance,” he stated firmly.

Gasperini also acknowledged the passionate support from Atalanta fans, noting that such enthusiasm was unprecedented in Bergamo. “It has never happened before that fans sang such a chant. We have never been top of the table after so many matches; let them sing,” he said, encouraging the supporters to celebrate this moment.

Looking ahead, he addressed the upcoming challenge against Real Madrid, expressing some uncertainty about their chances. “Favorites? I have some doubts, but tonight anything is possible,” he concluded.
