Atalanta, Ilicic: "We can make it against Borussia. This is the best club for young players"

Atalanta keep surprising everyone with their solid performances both in Serie A and in Europa League. The hopes of continuing their European campaing are still alive thanks to the two goals scored by Slovenian offensive midfielder Josip Ilicic, who scared German side Borussia Dortmund in front of their passionate supporters, the "Yellow Wall", before losing the game 3-2 to a goal from ex-Chelsea Batshuayi in extra time. "I'm disappointed by the result of the game, we deserved more - Ilicic says to La Gazzetta dello Sport - If we play like we did in the first leg and try to avoid some mistakes, we will pass to the next round of the competition. Borussia are strong, but so are we. We will fight in the home match, both teams have equal chances of going through. I'm very well here, I didn't expect this level of organisation. In Italy Atalanta are the best club for the young players' developement."
