Gasperini sees revitalised Atalanta strikers in win over Como: ‘Retegui and Lookman…’ | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini is satisfied with Atalanta’s win over Como and feels all his strikers were ‘revitalised’ even if only Mateo Retegui scored.

La Dea ended a four-game winless streak in Serie A on Saturday, beating local rivals Como 2-1.

Mateo Retegui scored a brace for the Nerazzurri, but his teammates Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere had a goal disallowed each.

“It’s surely not easy to keep the same fitness level at all times,” Gasp told DAZN (via TMW).

“All teams in Serie A have great value and cause trouble. We were slow in the first half, and we didn’t create much. The second-half performance was of high level. The performance across the 90 minutes was positive, it’s an important win.

“Bellanova and Brescianini found the right spaces when they were introduced, and our strikers, not just Retegui, were revitalised,” continued the Atalanta boss.

“Lookman and De Ketelaere had scored, which means our attacking manoeuvre have started working again. We had the chance to kill off the game, but I am satisfied.”
