Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini is happy facing Napoli today.

La Dea will meet Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.

Gasperini said, “It's better that we face Napoli before Real Madrid, because that way we can't afford to think too much about the Champions League, because this Serie A game is too important to underestimate," said the coach in his press conference.

“It has been a long time since we've had a full week to work in training and we really needed that. Now we've got four big games in a row.

Hans Hateboer is out, the only other concern is Joakim Maehle, who has a knock to the leg and might not be ready for tomorrow.

“Our concentration and minds are solely on Serie A right now. We've also secured our place in the Coppa Italia Final, which was an objective we targeted from the start.

“I keep hearing that people expect more from Atalanta, but we've done better than previous campaigns. I am satisfied with the way things are going, and our results have been similar, it's probably just that they're no longer making headlines."
