Atalanta in fiducia ma senza sottovalutare l’Hapoel

Atalanta confident but not underestimating Hapoel

BERGAMO - Never underestimate your opponent, but respect them to face them with the right attitude and focus. Maurizio Sarri, in his pre-match press conference on the eve of the first leg of the Conference League playoffs, had clear ideas about the match against Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv. "We weren't lucky with the draw because Hapoel has great quality, and I expect a tough match. I hope Atalanta enters the pitch with the right determination, keeping in mind that the match must be managed over 180 minutes. The feeling is that the team is gradually improving, and I hope there's plenty of room for improvement."

A goal from Nicola Zalewski gives Atalanta the XXVII Bortolotti Trophy

This was after a first half in which the attacking side lacked and the build-up play seemed too slow to offer any real opportunities. The match was decided by Zalewski's goal thirty seconds into the second half. In the second half, Atalanta, even considering their rotations, were more successful in implementing their…
