" Atalanta can be dangerous in open spaces if you don't approach them with a meticulous eye. Preventive marking can make the difference in a match like this. We prepared for it, in any case, to have our say and cause them problems." Fabio Pisacane thus laid out the line ahead of tomorrow night's match in Bergamo. "Beyond the three points, the victory over Roma was a huge boost mentally , especially because when you don't win, it's normal for enthusiasm to wane a bit, even in individuals," the Cagliari coach thus reiterated the challenge in a press conference from the Crai Sport Center in Assemini.

How has Atalanta changed under Palladino? "Raffaele is a mix between Gasperini's Atalanta and the one he's bringing to the table. The man-to-man play is less reckless, the build-up play is more thoughtful. All things considered, it's a strong Atalanta."

Mina is still out. "There's no point in forcing things," Pisacane clarifies. "We're learning from the past, considering the bruise she had on her knee. We'll evaluate things day by day."

Regarding the Folorunsho incident , the Rossoblu coach was keen to clarify: " It was undoubtedly not a pretty sight. I assure you, however, that Folo is an extraordinary, genuine young man. He immediately realized his mistake, that it wasn't a nice gesture, and he apologized immediately . What happened is something that doesn't represent him and doesn't represent us. There's little to justify, but it makes me think about the boy's human value and I'm convinced that he will be able to learn from this experience."
