Atalanta, Gasperini, ‘in Europe many teams with debt but they can afford it’
Gian Piero Gasperini claims that to become like Inter you have to take on a billion in debt? “But it’s not just Inter. In Europe, from England and Spain, to France, maybe not to Germany with Bayern always very attentive, there are many teams that win with these economic conditions behind them. Then they can also afford it, because they also have such a pool of attention and the possibility of recovering certain debts.” The Atalanta coach clarifies this, guest on Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1.
“Atalanta absolutely cannot think about it. But the same goes for many teams, The unsustainability of football in Europe has created a lot of problems, it has led to trying to create the Super League, it has led to a new different Champions League, but always with a motivation in the background: having a lot more money which in the end is never enough . Atalanta’s example is unique not because it won the Europa League, but why did he win in these very healthy economic conditions. But it’s not the reality of Inter, it concerns all of Europe. Hundreds of millions of difference leave out all the rest of the teams. This is why what we did, like Leicester a few years ago, is difficult to repeat.”
Atalanta, Gasperini: ‘Scudetto difficult, no problem for renewal with Percassi’
“These days it’s really very difficult to become competitive for the scudetto. There are 25 points difference between us and Inter. Already being in the Champions League zone must be a great achievement for Atalanta. Then no one holds back and it’s right that people dream of doing something more”, underlines Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperinion Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1.
As for the renewal, “in recent days we have just celebrated and played a lot. With the Percassi family there will never be any problems, they were very respectful and generous with me. We have never had any problems from a contractual point of view. But then things are very clear. The most important problem will be to improve the team, we will have to work a lot and it won’t be easy.”
Gasperini, ‘Atalanta’s great season, regret for Scalvini’s injury’
“It’s been a great season. Yesterday the biggest regret was Scalvini’s injury a few minutes from the end, a bad and long injury that will force him to miss the European Championship and a good part of next season. But Giorgio is young, strong, he will emerge from this experience even stronger and more determined. We celebrated the Europa League victory for a long time, Friday’s party was extraordinary due to the participation of the city. Maybe we should have done it a few days earlier, yesterday in the match we paid for it a bit. It compromised our possibility of finishing third, but the Champions League objective had already been achieved. The participation of so many people was extraordinary, thousands of people I saw from the bus, all incredibly happy. Having given such great joy is what makes us proud.” This is the end-of-season assessment of Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini, guest this morning on Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1.
How important was Ederson’s growth and how important would it be to keep him in Bergamo? “Retaining him would mean that Atalanta would retain a player of international value. Reaching the Brazil call-up means that Ederson is now a player of absolute value. Let’s hope he stays. It’s always difficult for Atalanta to retain such important players, it will depend on that what will happen on the market.”
