His first games with Atalanta left a bittersweet taste for Emiliano Rigoni. After scoring a brace in his Serie A debut at the Olimpico against Roma, the Argentinian and his teammate faced the Europa League elimination in the play-offs against Copenaghen. "The debut was crazy. In Europe it didn't go well, we were unlucky. Now we want to get Europe back. - the former Zenti player said to La Gazzetta dello Sport - We have many forwards in our team and they are all very good players. I'll do my best, Gasperini knows I play better on the wing but I can also play in a number 10 position".
"Playing in the Serie A is the best for me. Atalanta is the right place to make a step forward. Juventus were also interested in me, but Atalanta pursued me for a year. Argentina? I hope to earn a call-up for the national team, it's a goal of mine. Mancini? He is an excellent choice for the national team. He helped me a lot and especially to develop my character".
