Atalanta defeats Cagliari in the Italian Cup quarter-finals. The Goddess pursues Europe and, after all, national competition is the shortest way to guarantee an international showcase. The Nerazzurri are not wrong against Cagliari, nor do they lose their identity. Game, goal and show. Gasperini analyzes the challenge to the microphones of Raisport.

AHEAD – Dominated match. “We play a lot, we have included those who have not had many minutes so the base has been expanded. The race went very well, but if it doesn’t finish there is some risk. The reaction to the draw was positive and the team relaxed a bit in the final. Overall, however, a match up to par and played with quality. We are in a good moment but we should be a little more prolific ”. Muriel is. “A splendid jewel, it had enormous qualities, in Atalanta it can be expressed continuously. He is a player of absolute value who, like other players, has found his dimension in Bergamo. Football has changed, it is played often, there are five substitutions and Muriel is the most striking example of how you can manage your rotation ”.

PERSPECTIVES – Atalanta has a quality squad. And very deep. Gasperini always fishes well. And Bilbao beat Real. A team very similar to Atalanta. Things to think about a bit. As in the final. “I’m not thinking about the Champions League or Real Madrid, we still have many games to play. Talking about the Italian Cup final is also premature. The competition is played in very few games. If we had to go ahead, we would play the semifinals in February, we have to see how it will arrive. Of course we care. The last one from two years ago went undigested, so we hope to move on. I always ask the team for a lot of attention precisely because in these games it is enough to score a goal in the last minutes to take unnecessary risks ”.
