Gian Piero Gasperini felt Atalanta played with ‘too much individualism’ against SPAL and need Josip Ilicic back firing ‘as soon as possible’.
Gasperini not only saw Atalanta slump to a third straight defeat on Tuesday but also his former protégé score twice in a 2-0 SPAL win.
“This is a game that makes you reflect,” the Coach said after the game.

Gasperini not only saw Atalanta slump to a third straight defeat on Tuesday but also his former protégé score twice in a 2-0 SPAL win.
“This is a game that makes you reflect,” the Coach said after the game.
“The biggest problem is being able to be more concrete. We’re playing badly in the final third, with too much individualism.
“We conceded goals from set-pieces, which is something new with respect to previous years.
“We must be able to score and be more incisive, it happened both in the Europa League and Serie A.
“I’m not bitter about Petagna beating us. He gave me so much and is a young player, who will become even more important if his finishing improves.
“We have several strikers in the squad, so we have to look for the right balance. We must recover Ilicic as soon as possible.”
