Atalanta are just 90 minutes away from securing an important qualification for the Conference League, after drawing 0-0 in the first leg against Hapoel Tel Aviv. On Thursday 27 August, the Nerazzurri team will take to the pitch at the DVTK Stadion in Miskolc, Hungary, to face the second leg of this fundamental match. The situation is clear: for Atalanta it is a real in or out, a chance not to be missed to avoid a fool and confirm their presence in European competitions.
On the eve of this crucial match, Maurizio Sarri, the new coach of the Dea, gave a motivational speech to his players. "I told them that last year I didn't have the opportunity to play in Europe and that, on Wednesdays and Thursdays at home, I felt frustrated. For this reason, I want to go to Europe at all costs," said Sarri, underlining the importance of this match.
During the conference, Sarri also spoke about the condition of Charles De Ketelaere, who had some difficulties after the World Cup with Belgium. "He trained little due to an adductor problem. He only played half an hour in the championship and his use will have to be partial. I'm not sure whether to start him or use him during the match", explained the coach.
Giorgio Scalvini, Atalanta defender, shared his point of view on the match. "It's very important for us, because Atalanta deserves to play in Europe. It's an achievement we earned last year," said the young player, who is back available after a sprained ankle. Scalvini reassured everyone about his state of health, stating: "Fortunately it was nothing serious and the medical staff managed the situation in the best possible way. We are very excited and every match is fundamental. As a group, we will give our best".
Thursday's match represents a decisive moment for Atalanta, who does not want to miss the opportunity to continue competing at European level. With Sarri at the helm and a motivated team, the Nerazzurri hope to turn the situation around and secure a pass to the Conference League.
What happens now
The return match at the DVTK Stadion in Miskolc will be decisive for Atalanta, who must overcome the result of the first leg to guarantee a place in the Conference League.

The team is called upon to put in a convincing performance to avoid a fool and keep alive their hopes of a future in Europe.
