"Of course there are some similar elements of the game, so I see some truth in that. Udinese is going through a very exciting period, and so are we. We go to Udine very motivated, a win will give us confidence.

We will face a strong opponent in the physical and technical terms. They are only one point behind us, but the media is giving them more attention. They earned it on the pitch, beating teams like Inter and Roma," Gasperini told a press conference.

After 8 rounds of Serie A, Atalanta shares the first step of the tournament table with Napoli, having 20 points.
