Juventus Are A Difficult Team To Face - Atalanta's Gianpaolo Bellini
The Nerazzurri will be hosting the Bianconeri on Saturday evening in the 12th matchday of Serie A...
The Nerazzurri have not beaten the Bianconeri at home since the 2000/01 season, and therefore they will need to be at their best to obtain a positive result from this match, even though their opponents are coming off the back of a shocking 3-2 home defeat against Napoli.
"Juventus are a very difficult team to face, independently from the fact that they won or lost their previous game," explained the Bergamaschi's player to atalantanews.it.
"They have a winning mentality, therefore it is difficult that they get games wrong, but obviously it's logical that right now they are more difficult to face after a defeat.
"They found the trust in themselves straight away on Tuesday in the Champions League and will therefore be fully charged up for this match."
Atalanta are coming from two consecutive defeats which halted coach Antonio Conte's excellent run of results, leaving the team in 16th place with nine points from 11 games played.
