Atalanta director Umberto Marino expects a ‘celebration of football’ with Napoli this evening, as ‘both teams ultimately play to win.’
It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium at 17.00 GMT.
This is a top of the table clash between the leaders and the Bergamo boys in second place, who between them have one Serie A defeat this season.
“These are two teams who, I read many things about their muscular, technical and tactical nature, but ultimately they both play to win,” Atalanta director Marino told DAZN.
Ademola Lookman has settled in perfectly for La Dea since arriving from Leicester City, but on the other hand Jeremie Boga still looks a shadow of his former self.
“Lookman is only 25, but has already played in the Bundesliga and the Premier League. He can only improve under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini, so his experience here is a boon both for us and for him.
“Jeremie has a lot of quality, he shows some remarkable things in training that we remember from Sassuolo. He’s a great professional, we have patience and are confident he’ll be able to show what he can do this season.
“I expect a great celebration of football this evening and hope the people can really enjoy themselves here.”
