Gasperini hails his Atalanta after Frosinone rout

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with his players after their 5-0 rout of Frosinone.

Charles de Ketelaere and Ederson both were among the goalscorers on Monday night.

Gasperini said: "The first half of the game was amazing, we looked like a sprinter in the starting blocks. In a short time we scored three beautiful goals. In the second half I expected something more from a technical point of view but it was the third match of the week, so that's fine. We're going through a good time.

On De Ketelaere, he stated: "He is doing top-level things, both in terms of continuity of goals and action. Performance and continuity levels are important. Based on its potential it is only at 30%."

Asked about Champions League qualification, Gasperini added: "The ranking has its own truth, many teams are involved and we are there too. We have never held back, we want to reach the maximum. We have recovered some players like Holm and some interesting ones have arrived, like Hien. Miranchuk is growing up.

"We have faith, not only in those players who have made history here, but also in the new ones. I'll get Tourè back soon and let's see what he's made of. He has played 2 games in 9 months but I like him. He's a fast, agile guy, he's a nice profile."
