Sporting director Pierpaolo Marino spoke to Sky ahead of Atalanta v Udinese: 

"We come into this game off the back of two draws in a row. We played well in the second halves of these games against Sampdoria and Bologna but we didn’t start out great. We’ve got to carry on from where we left off in the second half against Bologna where we managed to pick up a vital point despite a numerical disadvantage. 

“You’ve got to be wary of Atalanta because they’ve got a squad with strength in depth, capable of competing both in the Champions League and Serie A. They’ve got versatile midfielders and they play good football. 

“This game is always emotional for me because I see friends and people who’ve treated me well even after I’d left Bergamo. Despite these feelings I just hope that Udinese come home with the three points.”
