Papu Gomez spoke in length with Gazzetta dello Sport:

The fixture list reads Napoli, Fiorentina, Inter next for Atalanta which is the hardest?

“We believe we can make Europe: even with only 3 points in 3 games, we would be at war. The most difficult is Napoli at the San Paolo. We have to have respect but no fear: if you’re aggressive, put in trouble all except Real, Barcelona and a few others. Against Fiorentina and Inter play on equal terms. ”

If you win you’d be just 3 points from the Champions League spots…

“In case of victory…It’s madness, we are not at the level of Napoli and Mertens is one of my favourites. His movement without the ball, cutting in near post…”

In the past was there any great opportunities to move to a big club?

“More than one. I wanted to join Stramaccioni at Inter, I had to sign on Monday but Strama lost 5-2 against Udinese at the weekend and was sacked. Even Montella wanted me at Fiorentina.”

That being said, would you follow him to Milan?

“Yeah…but here in Bergamo, I am a god.”

Maradona says Icardi does not deserve to play for the national team because he is the former wife of Maxi Lopez. What do you think?

“He was wrong and that’s enough. After all with Wanda, Mauro is married and has had children. For me at least he deserves to be called.”
