“Torino are a tough team who play in Europe this season and Coach Ventura is a guarantee, so it will be difficult for us,” said Colantuono in his Press conference.
“It’s important to pick up points and to do that we must play with heart. We don’t have time for style right now, as we just need the result.
“In any case, I saw good performances in recent weeks apart from Udinese” data-scaytid=”7″>Udinese and the first half against Sampdoria.”
The Oroboci are fresh from holding Napoli to a 1-1 draw with German Denis getting his first goal of the season.
“Denis needed a goal and we hope that can give him more confidence. Atalanta are not in trouble, in fact we aren’t even in the relegation zone and I’m convinced we can do great things.
“We will have an advantage in the latter stages of the season, when six of our last 10 games will be on home turf.”
Striker Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez is again ruled out by injury just as he seemed to be ready for a comeback.
Luca Cigarini and Yohan Benalouane are suspended, joining Vlada Avramov, Valerio Rosseti and Marcelo Estigarribia on the sidelines.
