Atalanta coach Gasperini: My biggest season regret

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini says their clash with Napoli is a good test.

Gasperini recognises Napoli will win the Scudetto this season.

He said, “A very difficult match awaits us, but I'll never say that we have nothing to lose because we have to play against everyone.

“We face a team that has done something extraordinary and has practically already won the Scudetto."

“I don't consider the fact that they might be thinking about Wednesday's Champions League game, they come off the back of a week off and will only be focused on us. But this will give us further motivation."

Gasperini also reflected: “If I have one regret, it is dropping points against some of the small and medium-sized clubs. Against the big ones, we never let ourselves down and we did very well in the first game against Napoli too, losing 2-1 with a bit of bad luck.

“They remain a super team, one I think will also go a long way in Europe, but if we repeat the performance of our previous encounter then we will be able to go away satisfied."
