Press conference in Assemini for Claudio Ranieri who presented the upcoming away match against Atalanta. His words:

THE OPPONENTS
"Atalanta is a good team, determined and aggressive, they play in a very direct way. It is coached by a great coach like Gasperini, this is proven by the fact that there are several teams in Italy that are daughters of his idea of play. We will go to Bergamo to play our match and show our qualities, despite the strength of the opponent team."

THE INDIVIDUALS
"Recovering Petagna, who has cleared the calf problem; Mancosu will stay here to work and find the best condition. Lapadula? I hope to have him available by the end of October, he is working hard and with great determination to return to play as soon as possible. Oristanio is doing well, he returned very well from the National team. Luvumbo can still improve a lot, he is in the right environment to grow further. Hatzidiakos is a very focused and intelligent boy, he will mature and understand how important tactics are in Italian football."

TOUR DE FORCE
"From Atalanta to Fiorentina via Milan: we will play three games in a week, but we will always give everything we have in our bodies. Talking with the team I will make my choices: I coach responsible guys and if they are not 100 percent they will tell me, putting me in a position to choose the best possible team."
