At 00:45 AM China Time on October 24, the third round of the Champions League will see Atalanta host Celtic. Atalanta’s head coach Gian Piero Gasperini attended the pre-match press conference.
Gasperini said, “We must adapt well to the environment because the Champions League is different from Serie A, even though the past two league victories have been very helpful for us and we have the opportunity to consolidate what we have done so far. This will be a match rich in competitive content and very fast-paced. Celtic is a dangerous team; their players are very quick and can cause us difficulties. Especially in the front, if you make a mistake in these matches, you might concede a goal. Just look at the games they have played. They are an attacking team hungry for victory, eager to play a certain type of football, but we have learned some things from our Champions League experience. However, we are in a bit of an emergency situation, and we need to see what happens in today’s training.”
