“I hope to enjoy many more victories, as I don’t remember a single easy one. I am happy in Italy, in Bergamo, and lifestyle counts for a lot.
“At times I think about it, and I might be richer, but less happy. I don’t just live on the pitch.” Gasperini disclosed.
Gasperini went back to the midweek 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the Champions League, where he joked with Cristiano Ronaldo after the stoppage-time equaliser.
“Although we were truly disappointed not to win, we were faced with the moment of magic of a maestro. I am fascinated by great players, even if they are opponents. I would’ve loved to work with someone like Ronaldo, especially as my team often had the best attack in the league. Maybe just for a few games.
“We did try for two years running to get Gigi Buffon, but he wouldn’t come.” Gasperini told Sky Sports as quoted by Footballitalia.
Meanwhile…
Atalanta’s win over Cagliari pushed the Bergamo side to fourth with 22 points, sixteen of which have come from away grounds. This Gasperini believed is due to the approach of the team when they ever come visiting.
“When you play away, there’s a bit more space opening up for you. At the same time, we were unlucky at home, with Udinese scoring at the 92nd minute. We’ve got to be more consistent if we want to stay in the top spots.”
La Dea missed Rafael Toloi, Robin Gosens and Hans Hateboer but will be hoping to have them return after the International break with a trip to Juventus immediately after playing Spezia.
