Italian Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini commented on his team's big win over Shakhtar Donetsk (3-0) in yesterday's match of the 2nd round of the Champions League main stage.
Gian Piero Gasperini"We played a good match - from the first to the last minute of it. Before the game, I was worried about how things would turn out on the pitch, but our actions today were excellent, both tactically and technically.
Of course, the fact that we finished the first half with a score of 2-0 helped us, but after the break the team still looked very confident and controlled the match. Good game.
After the draw with Arsenal (0-0 - ed.) in the first round, this away win is crucial for us. Shakhtar turned out to be easier than we thought, but this is no reason to relax - in the championship everything is much more complicated, and we are waiting for difficult games," Gasperini said in a commentary for Sky Sport.
