“International cup competitions always have a very special flavour, that hasn’t changed,” Marino told Sky Sport Italia.

“Without calling back to Hamlet, we have issues with Denmark and want to make up for the defeat a couple of years ago in Copenhagen.”

La Dea went out of the Europa League preliminary round on penalties after a pair of 0-0 draws with FC Copenhagen, which saw Atalanta miss numerous scoring opportunities.

How did Gian Piero Gasperini react to last week’s 4-1 Serie A defeat to Napoli?

“The coach deals with the squad within the four walls of the dressing room. It’s fundamental to get off to a strong start, but we also know that our opponents make aggression and physicality their calling cards.

“There are also the weather conditions, which act in favour of the hosts, as they are more of a physical team.”

It has been raining heavily all day in Denmark, leaving the pitch in poor condition.
