“I am the Coach, this is my Cagliari and we have started this new journey on the right foot,” insisted Zeman.
“With my staff we are working on the minds of the players. It is a long process, but it will bear fruit. I can see the right mentality in the squad.”
Cagliari began the season with a 1-1 draw away to Sassuolo, but this is their first game at the Stadio Sant’Elia.
“Serie A matches are never easy, but I hope my team can do for 90 minutes what we tried out during the week. It requires hard work and concentration.
“Atalanta are a tough opponent to read and don’t forget they beat Roma last season. Their Coach has been at the helm for five years and they always seem to finish in the top half of the table.
“The Nerazzurri are to be feared as a collective, plus they have outstanding players like Denis and Cigarini.”
Colombian striker Victor Ibarbo is available after injury, but Sebastian Eriksson will be out for many months with a knee problem.
Cagliari squad for Atalanta: Colombi, Cragno; Avelar, Balzano, Benedetti, Capuano, Ceppitelli, Murru, Pisano, Rossettini; Capello, Conti, Crisetig, Dessena, Donsah, Ekdal, Joao Pedro; Caio Rangel, Cossu, Farias, Ibarbo, Longo, Sau
