Atalanta, Palladino on Sky: “I saw Krstovic motivated! We'll lose Lookman but we'll recover Scalvini”

In the pre-match of Verona-Atalanta, the coach of the Nerazzurri, Raffaele Palladino, spoke to Sky's microphones, focusing on the lineup and upcoming commitments. Here are his words, reported by tmw:

On Scamacca and Krstovic

“Scamacca has had a lot of playing time that he was missing for a while, he did well and has been constantly improving: but today I want to see Krstovic from the start because I saw him motivated. We need him as we need everyone.”

On the African Cup

“We are losing two important and decisive players for us, but we are recovering two important players like Kolasinac and Scalvini. We will have to recover Sulemana. I need everyone, I try to keep everyone focused and involved: I need the whole team.”

On the upcoming European match against Chelsea

“I told the guys that we need to look at each match one at a time even if it may seem trivial, every match must be faced as a final. The league today is important, to give continuity of performance and results. There are direct clashes today, which makes it even more important.”

On the journey

“The race is on ourselves, on what we have rediscovered and that must be put on the field in every match, on what the guys are capable of expressing. This is not the ranking we want, but I see the right spirit, a positive energy, a group that rows in the same direction, I am very confident, but today is not an easy match.”
