The head coach of the Italian Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini, spoke about the role of Ukrainian midfielder Ruslan Malinovsky in his team, who, we recall, in yesterday's match with Milan (1: 1) in the Italian championship scored another goal.
Gian Piero Gasperini“Such matches as today's - Malinovsky. But when we play against closed teams, we need forwards. Malinowski has always played for me, but the fact that I can ask strikers on the transfer market is nothing new.
In these kinds of matches like today, using Malinowski in this position is normal. But in games with other opponents, we paid for the absence of nominal forwards, who often find themselves in "scoring" zones.
Malinovsky came to Atalanta with the characteristics of a playmaker, but we, like Pasalic, adapted him to the role of a striker. However, if Malinovsky is a striker, then I don't have a very clear idea of what I'm building. Even taking into account the fact that Malinovsky really adapted well to the actions of the striker and was decisive today in this context, ”Gasperini said after the match with Milan.
