Atalanta coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, spoke to the media in his press conference a day before the match against AC Milan:
"We are a team that arrives after two very difficult and challenging commitments between Inter and Young Boys we have faced two expensive matches from which we came out well. We face tomorrow's match with great credibility from our part, tomorrow is undoubtedly an important match for both teams. With the absence of Gosens we have Maehle and Pezzella as substitutes, we don't need to look for other solutions."
On AC Milan:
"I expect a very proactive Milan, their in the Champions League was bad for them but everything is still remediable. That team has grown a lot, they are collecting results and performances, they have a great determination. We are facing a team in confidence, with personality, which has grown with the inclusion of many players in attack", answered Gasperini, "Despite the absence of Ibrahimovic, we do not know if Giroud will play or not. But there are also Leao and Rebic. They made a leap in a year and a half, in the market and in the field."
On Kessié:
"Maybe Kessiè will have played some subdued games, but he has been extraordinary for Milan for a long time. I don't think there's a problem for them.
On Atalanta's defensive department:
"Toloi, Palomino and Demiral are fine, we will evaluate them today", concluded Gasperini.
