EVE
“The first of the objectives, which already gives prestige to the season.” This, through the mouth of Gian Piero Gasperini’s deputy, Tullio Gritti, who was also on the bench in the first leg, is Atalanta’s thoughts on the eve of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final in Bergamo with Fiorentina. The narrow defeat of the first leg will be overturned despite the short blanket behind: “In Monza we lost Holm and Toloi, for the rest we should all be there”, said Gritti from the club’s YouTube channel. On the right wing there will be Zappacosta, without making the Swede’s injury too noticeable, while in defense Scalvini is on the razor’s edge of being called up on the fourth day of his return to the group after the injury to his left hamstring in Naples on the eve of Easter. In front of goalkeeper Carnesecchi, in the new turnover of the suspended Gian Piero Gasperini, the trio Djimsiti-Hien-Kolasinac is recomposed, with the Under 23 Bonfanti remaining as a substitute. The second and third, together with Ederson, on Sunday evening in Monza were the only survivors of the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals the previous Thursday against Liverpool. Precisely reaching the European semi-finals is the psychological weapon of the Bergamo players, as confirmed by Gritti: “We need to do something more than the first leg in Florence, when we were subpar, but we are playing in front of our fans who have already dragged us to performances important against an amazing opponent, increasing maturity and self-esteem”. From the reshuffling of the deck, De Roon will return as starters in midfield, Ruggeri on the left, Koopmeiners behind the strikers, Scamacca as area man and probably also Miranchuk for a counter-turnover of seven elevenths compared to the return to victory in Serie A at U -Power Stadium. Lookman and De Ketelaere, however, the best in Monza together with Touré, compete with the Russian for the second striker’s position.
