Also present at Atalanta’s season home opener at the Gewiss Stadium was Atalanta Co-Chairman Stephen Pagliuca, who commented on the draw with Milan as follows: “Great spirit in the team”.

It was Atalanta’s first home match of the season and it was a big one. What are your impressions about the match, the team and the supporters?

“There are no better supporters than supporters of Bergamo. I think they helped us really play hard in this game.  Great spirit in the crowd, great spirit in the team. Coach Gasperini did a great job. I’m very proud to be here”.

Do you like Gasperini’s style of play?

“I love the players and the coach, the attacking style. They are always running, always attacking. They give 110%”.

What are your plans and strategies for Atalanta?

“We want to invest to become the best team we possibly can. We’ve got great management and the Percassi’s and great coach and very spirited players, so I have a good feeling about Atalanta. We have to take it one game at a time but it was a great start”.
