Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at a press conference ahead of Atalanta’s away fixture against Roma. The 2022-2023 Serie A TIM matchday 7 fixture is scheduled for Sunday 18 September at 18:00 CEST at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome: “Tomorrow’s test will be a terrific one, as we’re facing a strong and physical side that have added extraordinary quality to their squad. Mourinho is a great coach and I am not the one who discovered him. He has a great ability to renew himself and transmit exceptional enthusiasm to his team and fans”.

Tomorrow’s game will be a challenge between two teams currently sitting in top positions in the league table: “To be top of the table after six matches is a wonderful achievement and a great credit goes to these lads for the way they have interpreted this start of the season. But we know that we’re at the beginning of the league and everything is still to be deciphered: we have seen that all matches are very difficult. We are in this position with great humility, we also have to understand what we can do. And, in this respect, tomorrow will be a good test before the international break, although only after the November break will we be able to better understand the strength of this championship”.
