Atalanta stumbled into Midtjylland
`The team is doing very well in defense and in the middle of the field, but we lack something in attack. We don`t have the necessary sharpness and efficiency, and that makes us nervous. We created situations, but we also made a lot of omissions. We have problems in attack at the moment. Romero scored a good goal and maybe in the next match he will start as a starter `, Gasperini commented. `Unlike the first game on their field, where we scored an early goal and everything went well, now things happened the other way around. They had bet on a team that relied entirely on counterattacks and managed to lead me, ` he added. The Italians occupy the second position in the standings with 8 points, one point ahead of Ajax before the decisive visit to Amsterdam in the last round. `The situation is not easy. We have a slight advantage over Ajax and we will try to take advantage of it. It will be a great achievement if we can continue. Maybe before the matches in the group we would be happy to be inthis position before the last meetings. It will certainly be a great success for us if we manage to eliminate Ajax, `said Gasperini. He believes that his team is hampered by the tight cycle of matches. `
Undoubtedly, these Champions League matches every week, together with the Serie A matches, make it difficult for us. We do not have the necessary time to recover, not only physically, but also mentally. We are not used to such a load and it drains us, `That`s why we make passes. Last season we played in the Champions League every two or three weeks. The program is different now and we have difficulties, ` said Gasperini.
