Atalanta boss Stefano Colantuono admits his side face a tough ask in halting the Bianconeri’s winning start to the season but refuses to rule out springing a surprise tomorrow night at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.
The Nerazzurri boss, whose outfit currently sit in mid-table with four points, played down the merits of an ultra-defensive approach and revealed he will be seeking out alternative ways of upsetting the odds against the reigning champions.
Speaking to the media this afternoon, Colantuono said: “Those who have chosen to defend all the way have lost. If you play too high up the field you risk leaving spaces for them to exploit, whereas if you sit back too much you’ll be swamped.
“It’s difficult to find ways of stopping them, but that’s something we need to do, because I never say never in this game. We must maintain our mentality.”
