Freuler seeks Atalanta improvement

Remo Freuler and Atalanta are eager to go even further in the Europa League this season, but first have to get past FC Copenhagen.

The first leg of the Europa League play-off is at the Mapei Stadium on Thursday at 19.00 UK time (18.00 GMT).

“It’s a very long season and we started very early. It has gone well so far and what counts is getting into Europe,” said the midfielder in a Press conference.

“We’ll try to put in a fine performance and win the game, then we’ll see what happens.”

Atalanta had a strong run in the Europa League last season, but narrowly lost the knockout tie to Borussia Dortmund, 4-3 on aggregate.

“I still can’t think back to that game, as it pains me. That one stuck in my craw.”
