Gasperini gives nod to Milan when questioned about Scudetto regret: “A bit exaggerated” | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini has worked miracles with this Atalanta squad, and AC Milan are sat watching from a mid-table position.

This season has been one to forget every other weekend for Milan, and as we approach the end of the season, there is a peace to be found with a year that has been sub-par in almost every moment barring a few.

It begun with hopes of a Scudetto challenge, but it quickly became a case of fighting for the Champions League, then Europa League and then Europe generally. Now, after the defeat to the Nerazzurri, it seems the Coppa Italia is the only way.

On the other hand, Atalanta have had a season which the Rossoneri could have only dreamt of, fighting for the Scudetto for almost the full season, before recently dropping off.

However, there are no qualms to be had, and Gasperini even hinted at the Diavolo when discussing any Scudetto regrets post-game to DAZN, via Milan News.

The winner…

“A very beautiful and decisive goal, the result of the inclusion of the outside and midfielder. In the first half we hardly managed it, this was a beautiful choral action.”

Who makes you leave Atalanta?

“For me it is an incredible season, tonight’s win gives us the chance to reach the Champions League again, which is an extraordinary goal, fundamental for Bergamo.”

With another season in the Champions League could you stay?

“Tonight’s is already a wonderful night, the championship is becoming really difficult. The Bologna win could have been dangerous, having won at the San Siro gives an incredible turnaround. We have to get to the top after a fantastic season, it would be nice to crown it with this result.”

Bellanova arm?

“Apart from the numerical difficulties we had in defence, Kossounou is coming back from an injury and came back very well tonight. As did Toloi, who has black and blue skin but had a few aches and pains, but they were extraordinary when they came on.

“Losing Kolasinac was a very heavy thing for us, because apart from being very strong he plays a great role on the pitch. Having to play on the wing against Leao and Theo, this 37-year-old kid together with Bellanova could defend them but also attack them and they did it very well for a time, then we had to make the changes but it went well anyway.”

Is there a bit of regret?

“No kidding, how can you have regret with 64 points. It’s true that we are 7 points behind the leading pair and this is due to the direct clashes we lost, but from a technical point of view to think that Atalanta could play for the Scudetto is a bit exaggerated. Just look at the teams behind what strength they are.”
