The coach drew parallels with the confrontation in 2019
Mentor Atalanta Gian Piero Gasperini before the game of the second round of the group stage of the Champions League with Shakhtar, he emphasized that his players should be attentive throughout the match.
“Shakhtar has traditions and regularly plays in the Champions League. This match will not be easy for us.”
“This is not the same team we faced five years ago. This is a great team. The Champions League has all strong teams that are used to winning national championships.”
“They are undoubtedly a young team and played well against Bologna. We need to be very careful, as in all Champions League matches.”
The match of the second round of the Champions League between Miners and Bergamaschi will take place today, October 2. The meeting starts at 19:45 Kyiv time. The match will be judged by a team of referees led by Portuguese Joao Pinheiro.
Nominally, the “home” match for the Miners will take place in Gelsenkirchen. Marino Pusic’s team will host their opponents at the Veltins Arena this season.
Let us remind you that in the first round the Miners lost with Bologna (0:0), and Atalanta achieved a similar result in the home match with Arsenal.
