Ahead of Inter’s match with Atalanta this Sunday night, Atalanta President, Antonio Percassi spoke to Gazzetta Dello Sport, reflecting upon last seasons abysmal 7-1 loss to Stefano Pioli’s Inter.

“I would like to avoid another 7-1, Inter is strong, perhaps even stronger than last year, but I trust the guys and the manager. This year I remember especially the debut in Europe, it was very emotional, and then matches that we had lost but we did not deserve the result. We played well as against Roma and Napoli.

“I would like to thank the team and the manager, Gian Piero Gasperini for this fantastic year. The team plays nice football, and he knows how to push the boys to perform at their best and to improve.”

Atalanta are in 10th position going in to the fixture with Inter this weekend and will be looking to secure their first win in three games following two draws and a defeat since their last win.
