Atalanta, Gasperini keeps dreams alive: “Scudetto? Dreaming is possible, we don’t hide”
Atalanta triumphs against Napoli at Maradona and soars to within three points of Conte’s team: the word Scudetto is no longer taboo.
Interviewed on Radio Anch’io Sport, Gasperini does not hide: “Scudetto? The championship has somewhat split. We have never hidden, always tried to take it game by game and see where it can go.
Up there they are all very close together and all can dream. Then, I think Inter has a little more chance. But it is right that we, Fiorentina, and Lazio right now can be particularly happy”.
“The victory of the Europa League has made us take a step up in quality: it has given self-esteem, security, conviction. Every year we change many players, even if the backbone remains evident, but it is difficult to repeat the feat of Verona under Bagnoli.”, the words of the coach from Grugliasco.
Gasperini also praises Retegui, who arrived in the summer 48 hours after Scamacca’s injury and is the top scorer in Serie A with 11 goals after 11 rounds of the championship: “The merits are of the boy. It’s not that I can give him something more. I can try to help them express what are already their qualities. We may have some ideas, but then the answers of the boys are decisive. Mateo’s response was exceptional. The ability to apply on the field what we believe and think is all his merit”.

Will Franco Israel be guarding the goal in Torino-Genoa?
Views: 18
Doubt in Torino. Franco Israel’s conditions could make him miss the match against Genoa. The match will take place at 12:30.
The goalkeeper of Torino is in serious doubt for the match against Genoa; the trauma to his right rib, suffered in the match against Napoli, does not seem to have fully healed.
During the match against Napoli, the goalkeeper received a nasty blow which was then evaluated by the medical staff of the granata. The result: the goalkeeper was unable to complete his normal weekly preparation and, for this reason, does not seem to be included in the lineup of twelve against the Grifoni.
Today, however, we await the official medical report on the condition of the twenty-five-year-old Uruguayan.
If the results are not positive for Franco Israel, then it will be the turn of his substitute Paleari.
Torino, currently in 15th place in the Serie A standings, is waiting for the official results of the goalkeeper Israel’s physical condition.

What happened to the Torino goalkeeper and what to expect in the coming hours
The player received a blow during the match against Napoli (in which the granata won 1-0 against the Neapolitan team). A joy broken by the injury that appeared, from the very beginning, quite serious.
To worsen the mood of the Turin club, the player’s absence in the weekly training session (to prepare for the match against the Ligurians) and, therefore, rumors about his health status have increased.
This absence itself would suggest, regardless of the verdict, that the goalkeeper will be absent on the field tomorrow, Sunday, October 26, but what is most breath-taking is the medical report.
Genoa, the team that is bottom of the Serie A standings, could take advantage of this forced stop to try and secure three much-needed points. At this point in the season, in fact, the Ligurians must try to drastically change their fate, otherwise a future relegation seems more than likely.
The team of Marco Baroni must instead keep their eyes on the horizon and not lose concentration in order to continue to stay in the middle of the table and then, who knows, even try to climb up the ranks.

Milan, Modric: “A big shame, we threw away 2 points”

AC Milan midfielder Luka Modric commented on the bitter 2-2 draw against Pisa in a press conference.

Milan, Modric’s words
MILAN-PISA 2-2
“We expected this match, they came to defend and make our lives difficult. It’s our fault if we didn’t win: we didn’t do enough to win the game. We lost two important points today. These home games, with all due respect to Pisa, you have to win them.”
TIGHT MARKING?
“It’s fair, I have to adapt. We need to play better overall: we did some good things, created many chances but didn’t score. But I have to adapt for the rest.”
APPROACH
“We should have killed the game in the first half. We played well, but only scored one goal. We started the second half sluggishly, then there was the unfortunate penalty and goal. But that’s football, that’s why it’s beautiful: even if you’re stronger and deserve to win, anything can happen. We are sad and angry for losing two valuable points.”

We made mistakes, we need to reflect. However, Pisa played their game
Views: 30
AC Milan waste a great opportunity to consolidate their lead: from 1-0 to 1-2, they need the final minutes to avoid a sensational defeat. The risk of losing the top spot for Milan is now concrete.
It was supposed to be a quiet evening for the Rossoneri, an opportunity to strengthen their first place in the standings and face the midweek round with serenity. Instead, against a brave Pisa, the Rossoneri complicate their lives and have to thank Athekame, the author of the 2-2 in injury time, for avoiding an embarrassing loss.
AC Milan-Pisa 2-2: match analysis
The match started off on the right foot thanks to Leao’s goal after just seven minutes. But Allegri’s team, instead of closing the game, relaxed, showing presumption and lacking ruthlessness in front of goal. In the first half, Milan controlled but did not score, and Pisa stayed in the game.

In the second half, Gilardino played his trump card: Cuadrado’s entry changed everything. The Colombian won and scored the penalty for 1-1, his eighth goal in career against the Rossoneri, then inspired the counterattack that led Nzola to the sensational 2-1. Milan, confused and lacking clarity, tried to react, with Leao hitting the crossbar, Nkunku wasting a possible lead.
Only in injury time did the equalizer come, signed by Athekame, avoiding a heavy defeat but not erasing the bitterness. Perhaps the Rossoneri paid for their lack of respect for the opponent, just as Allegri had warned before the start of the match.
A necessary reality check, because on Tuesday in Bergamo Milan risks not showing up as the league leaders.
