JAKARTA - Gian Piero Gasperini regretted his substitution after Atalanta failed to dominate Rome. The coach claims his team made several mistakes.

Atalanta took the lead through Ruslan Malinovskyi. However, after missing several big chances and forcing Pau Lopez's saving, Robin Gosens received a second yellow card.

Bryan Cristante equalized and Roma threatened to threaten at the end of the game.

"It's difficult to explain what happened in the second half because some of the opportunities we missed were so easy, anyone can score them," Gasperini said in his press conference from Football Italia, Friday, April 23.

"We have a lot of chances to win games. Globally, we have come up with four points from our two games against Roma."

At present Atalanta is still in the third position and maintains its advantage over the competitors below. However, considering the game last night, Gasperini said the team needed to reflect.

The coach did not hold back from criticizing his players, especially substitutes Mario Pasalic and Luis Muriel.

"Malinovskyi is tired, we are starting to develop some gaps in the midfield and need new players, but Pasalic is not a good substitute," he said.

“Some of the mistakes are just shocking. It is a lack of concentration. It's a shame because many times our substitutions are decisive.

“Gosens' red card was stupid too, we contributed more than throwing this win away. As long as we have 11 men, so for 70 minutes of the game, I don't see Roma having a single shot on goal. They only became dangerous afterward.

"We need everyone to come forward and contribute, otherwise it will be very difficult."

⏹ Pareggio incredibile all'Olimpico...
