A few hours before the match against Inter Giacomo Bonaventura, one of the players in best form in Atalanta, was interviewed at the team’s official website. The focus was obviously on tonight’s match at Atleti Azzurri: “Looking at the recent results, we are clearly the two teams in the best form right now. Inter I believe is the only team that can prevent Juventus from the Scudetto. But we want to play a good game in front of our crowd.”
The midfielder was particularly pleased that one player is absent from Inter’s roster: “I like the way Sneijder plays. But against us, he will not be playing and that can only be good.” The danger, according to Bonaventura, comes from Argentina: “I am very afraid of Milito because he is an indisputable campione and can score in every way possible.”
After wins against Milan and Napoli, Atalanta is now chasing a hat-trick against another big team: “Our strength is that we prepared ourselves well for the matches against these teams, and then performed in practice, we trained for during the week. But I think Inter are superior to Napoli and Milan, so we have to be even more careful.”
Among the earlier matches against Inter Bonaventura remembers “especially the game played in Bergamo last year. I was in the same part of the pitch as Maicon, not just anyone. But we all did a great game, was always stood against their attacks. Finally, it ended in a draw but we deserved to win. I hope we can repeat the performance because it would mean that we would have a good chance of achieving a good result.”
Last year, he was placed against Maicon, this time, his opponents could be captain Javier Zanetti: “The symbol of Inter, a bandiera and I like the bandieras. It would please me to be playing against him. I will show respect for him, but at the same time I will be trying to play my game and make it difficult for him.”
