“The trust in Gasperini is total, he is always good at surprising us with new ideas and solutions.” Umberto Marino commented on the soccer market as well as on the draw that saw Atalanta paired with Club Brugge in the Champions League playoffs: “But don’t ask me for names apart from the one that has already come out (Daniel Maldini, Editor’s note), because on the subject I play with the highest defense,” the general manager joked to the microphones of Sky Sport.
Marino: in Champions stagione fantastica
“We have the knowledge that we can play against a team that is also doing well in Europe. It’s a very hot square that deserved to be in the playoffs. In my opinion we are having a fantastic season both in the Champions League and in the league,” Marino continued. “No regrets about not qualifying directly for the round of 16: to be ninth in the standings with 1 point difference was something sensational. We are happy to have finished ninth: in Barcelona it was a spot for European and Italian soccer, a pride for all of us.”
Marino e De Ketelaere
Finally, on the former on duty: “De Ketelaere is a great player who just needed to find his environment. He found a club that is accompanying him on his path. Market in offense or defense? The coach decides. Gasperini is good at surprising us with always new ideas and solutions.”
