Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at the press conference Friday on the eve of the Atalanta-Sassuolo match, valid for the 25th match day of the 2019-2020 TIM Serie A. “The Champions League match drained a lot of mental energy and we need to put it behind us because another important match awaits us. This is tough because Sassuolo is playing well, aside from the last defeat which I think they did not deserve. We need to jump feet first into the championship. Victories must be an incentive to achieve more, not a reason to feel self-complacent”.
They will be facing an opponent that has achieved important results: “Sassuolo has a playing system similar to Valencia; the team has a very constructive approach, playing offensively with quick and dangerous attacking players”.
In the standings they have a six-point advantage over the fifth, but the Nerazzurri coach is not interested in calculations: “Six points fourteen days from the end is not yet a decisive advantage. Rather than keeping an eye on others we prefer to look at ourselves: we know that if we can repeat what we’ve done so far, it will be tough for the others to reach us “.
