Atalanta immediately turned the corner following their elimination in the Champions League with a convincing win against Verona at the Bentegodi stadium. After the game, Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to Sky Sport:"The team had a great reaction, I'm very satisfied with the performance of my player who has a great game, we were able to refocus on the league. It was a difficult match, Verona caused difficulties to many teams this season, we were good at handling it the best way possible. Today's 4-2-3-1 was dictated by the circumstances, we had used it often in the middle of the match"
Gasperini was asked about the race for a Champions League spot:"It will be an elimination game, we are the intruders and we will fight until the end. We hope the international break doesn't save us some negative surprises, I hope to have everyone back in top form in two weeks. Ten matches are a lot, so we will need to be in good condition, it will be a fascinating ending"
