"I expect a Cagliari side full of pitfalls. They have excellent players and a good coach in Pisacane, whom I know well, even though he's not in the best of form . We're expecting a fiery stadium , we must react immediately to the defeat against Lazio" and try to get "15 points while avoiding looking at our rivals' home games so as not to get distracted."

This is what Atalanta coach Raffaele Palladino said on the eve of the match at the Domus against the rossoblù, scheduled for Monday at 6:30 pm.

In the press conference, Palladino also reviewed his season as coach of Atalanta: "I arrived when the team was thirteenth, now we're seventh with 15 points still up for grabs. I'm also proud of our run in the Champions League and the Coppa Italia, where we only missed the final due to unfavorable incidents that I won't comment on," the Nerazzurri coach remarked. He continued: "I'm fond of the clubs, the people, and the managers. We'll see what the club decides at the end of the season. The important thing is to work in the present, not to extend it by two, three, or four years."

"There's no deadline for a contract extension," Palladino said. "I came here with great enthusiasm and commitment. I have another year, but I'm not tied to the duration. I don't care about money."
