Atalanta’s victory in the Europa League

According to Giordano, it was a pleasure to comment on such an emotional evening. Atalanta fully deserved their triumph, scoring three goals against high-caliber opponents such as Liverpool, Marseille and Leverkusen. Giordano praised the winning mentality of Kolasinac who, already at the end of the match, was focused on the championship and the possible third place. This type of mentality also involved the fans, reminding everyone that victory is proportional to the objectives set, not just to the position in the standings.
The Magical Performance against Leverkusen
The match against Bayer Leverkusen was a magical evening for Lookman and, according to Giordano, Ederson and Koopmeiners also demonstrated impressive physical and technical structure. Their contributions in both attack and defense, together with Ruggieri’s performance, nullified the threats of Leverkusen and the dangerous Frimpong. Atalanta played with great courage, a quality reinforced by the disappointment of the defeat in the Italian Cup against Juventus.
Hopes for Lazio in Europe
Giordano expressed his desire to experience similar emotions with Lazio in a European competition. He hoped that fans, team and club would adopt limitless ambition, which comes from constant commitment and the desire to continually improve.
Gasperini’s future at Atalanta
Regarding the future of Gian Piero Gasperini, Giordano would advise the coach to renew with Atalanta and focus on the championship. With the right reinforcements, the team could aim for first place. The use of three players trained in the youth sector in the recent match is evidence of a project that comes from afar. If Gasperini stayed, Atalanta would continue to be a model of credibility and a natural outlet for many talents.
Spalletti’s list for the European Championship
Finally, Giordano commented on the list of 30 players called up by Luciano Spalletti for the European Championship, focusing on some particular choices such as the inclusion of Fagioli as a playmaker, underlining the importance of reintroducing the youngster into the national context. He found Politano’s exclusion unusual, but recognized the sincerity of the coach’s choices. Flexible players like Di Lorenzo, Calafiori and Darmian will certainly be precious resources for the national team.
