The league is back and Gian Piero Gasperini spoke at a press conference ahead of Atalanta’s opening fixture of the 2022-2023 Serie A TIM season, which will be away to Sampdoria. “It will be the classic first game of the season, each team will have doubts and certainties coming into this match. On our part, this team always give everything. These lads have never failed to show commitment, devotion and drive.”

Atalanta kick off their domestic campaign against Sampdoria, an away match against the Blucerchiati is always complicated on paper: “It is an important stage: it will not be easy, but we have the right confidence going into this game. What can happen in this league is unpredictable: there will be 15 games between now and the World Cup break, which is almost a whole round: a large part of the league will be played in the space of three months.”
