Goalkeeper Perluigi Gollini has claimed Atalanta have “always been successful” in Florence, ahead of their match against Fiorentina on Saturday.

The Dea surpassed Roma and are currently fourth in the League and Gollini is adamant that the Bergamaschi will do what it takes to protect their position among the top four.

The controversy in the aftermath of the Viola match against Juventus might have fired up the home fans even more and the shot stopper expects a hostile environment at the Artemio Franchi.

“We know how the atmosphere will be, but we also know that the match will be played on the pitch,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “We have always been successful there; we will travel to Florence to win and remain fourth.”

Atalanta lost to the Viola at the Artemio Franchi in the Coppa Italia last month and have only won once in their five last games.

The 2-2 result against Genoa last weekend was still enough to help them leapfrog their rivals from Rome and Gollini explains that “it’s normal” that Nerazzurri are currently struggling to find their rhythm.

“The legs don’t always run the same way,” he said. “Maybe the opponents have a great game.

“If we were able to win every time, we would be at the top. It’s normal to have bad days, but as far as I’m concerned, the right attitude has always been there.”
