A draw in Serie A that keeps Atalanta in the race against the other teams fighting for Europa League, and a defeat against Borussia Dortmund that still leaves space for a qualification. These have been the last two games for Gasperini's nerazzurri, still fighting on all fronts: "There's a three points distance, still have the games against Sampdoria and Milan at home; it's important to remain close to these teams at the moment because we have a lot of games against important teams. We would like to have more time to prepare these games" has said the coach to Sky Sport.
"If Petagna scores it helps a lot, so many players have become "bombers" after some time, it's important for me he plays with that spirit".
"Your game plan is what resolves your problems. When the team knows what they have to do and is concrete. Inter was all that, they had the players' qualities. The player can resolve some problems but the basis remains the game plan. A top player helps to make that quality upgrade, you can replace him with your playing style. At Inter there might be a time where they all play for themselves".
"Juventus, sooner or later, will have to take the initiatives against Tottenham to win the game. The English's side weakness is in their defense. The Italian national team? It's a reference for our generation. It's a position with enormous responsibilities, but few possibilities to have an incidence. You struggle to bring your contribution".
"Napoli aims to the Scudetto, I believe they can do it more this year than I did before. They all think about it now. It has happened to me to play in Cyprus on Thursday, getting back at 4am and play against Spal on Sunday. I would play Europa League all my life. There are a lot of good teams in the tournament now and they all don't give up. These are games plaid at a high intensity".
"Borussia Dortmund? We're playing against a strong side, whose attacking is great. We must play 90 minutes and win. I believe we'd need two goals".
