During a press conference in the Croatian national team’s training camp, Mario Pasalic addressed several topics, dwelling both on the upcoming Nations League challenge against France and on his Atalanta’s path under Gian Piero Gasperini.
The midfielder acknowledged the great change experienced by the Nerazzurri team in recent years: “We all know what Atalanta was like before Gasperini’s arrival. Few thought that we would be in a position where we fight for the title,” Pasalic said, highlighting the Bergamasque club’s evolution. However, regret remains over the elimination from the Champions League, in a group stage where Dea had a favorable draw on paper, according to the player.
One of the most difficult obstacles for Atalanta has been Inter Milan, a team that in recent direct confrontations has always gotten the better of the Orobici. “Inter always gives us a hard time, they are the only big team we cannot find a solution against,” Pasalic admitted. The numbers confirm this trend: eight consecutive defeats against the Milanese Nerazzurri. “They are currently the best team in Italy and they are aiming to win the Champions League again,” the Croatian added, acknowledging the superiority of the lineup led by Simone Inzaghi.
