Gian Piero Gasperini cautions his Atalanta team about potential arrogance as they aim for Champions League qualification after a recent 1-1 draw against Lecce. He emphasizes that while the team's current standing seems secure, their approach could lead to complacency. Gasperini notes that competitors are more anxious, and a false sense of ease around qualification poses risks. He stresses the significance of their achievement and reminds players and fans to respect the challenge, given the strength of teams chasing them in the standings and their current narrow lead over Juventus.
"Those behind us are more worried. I too am worried when I see this approach, where it seems as if it is 'normal' that Atalanta will qualify for the Champions League."
"I have the sensation that people do not perceive the objectives we need to achieve. They are acting as if it's easy for Atalanta to qualify for the Champions League, but we need to look at the teams that are behind us in the table."
