Edy Reja said Atalanta have “psychological issues” after their goalless draw with bottom club Parma.
The Coach was making his debut on the bench after Stefano Colantuono was sacked.
“Atalanta had never really been in the relegation fight this season, so clearly in a game like this that seems easy on paper, the psychological issues set in,” Reja told Rai Sport.

“Atalanta had never really been in the relegation fight this season, so clearly in a game like this that seems easy on paper, the psychological issues set in,” Reja told Rai Sport.
“Parma played a particularly aggressive match and I hope they’ll be like this with every opponent to ensure the tournament remains credible.
“Atalanta must give something more, because we cannot play like this. We have quality, but do not give 100 per cent.
“We need to increase the tempo and hope to get some more players back to full fitness.”
