Atalanta coach Gasperini accepts Inter Milan challenge

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini recognises the test they face tonight at Inter Milan.

La Dea go into the game with Serie A's leaders unbeaten in seven games.

Gasperini said: “Our sharpness is missing against Inter. It's the only place where we haven't managed to win yet, we'll definitely try!

“I hope we can create problems for them, as they are doing something extraordinary with quality play. Tomorrow the table will be final as it's a catch-up game, we have little to lose, and it can be very favourable.

“The value of the point is important (against AC Milan), Bologna are within range and there's a match to recover. The performance was difficult but to be appreciated precisely for this reason. There was a lot of quality in defence.

“The game was a missed opportunity. We have to forget it anyway and move on to the next one. Football is constantly evolving, it's never static, it's not a question of numbers but evolutions and measures, the participation of goalkeepers and defenders is noticeable.

“The next moves will have to be made by the attackers who are struggling to be as dynamic as the defenders at the moment."
