Rome, 23 August (LaPresse) – "We know that all Serie A matches are extremely difficult. I am curious to see my team in action. I expect what I've seen in these 40 days of hard work, and therefore great participation, a desire to learn and grow from everyone, but also further progress in terms of rhythm and play compared to the last test against Juventus in the Bortolotti Trophy, when we played very well at times." These were the words of Ivan Juric, Atalanta coach, on the eve of the league opener against Pisa, scheduled for Sunday at 8.45 p.m. at the stadium in Bergamo. He then reflected on the welcome he received from the Nerazzurri fans: ‘I want to repay the love the fans are showing me: I received a welcome beyond my expectations.’
