Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was proud of his players after their 7-1 thrashing of Udinese.
Atalanta are now just three points off leaders Juventus and visit fourth-placed Napoli in the midweek round.
No," was the reply Gasp to a question about winning the title.
Only Juventus can lose it, but then there are Inter and Napoli, as well as the other so-called big clubs like Roma and Milan, who are perhaps considered big more for what they represent than their current results.
After nine rounds, this all just confirms it is a very difficult season for everyone at both ends of the table."
The Orobici set a new record for most prolific start to a Serie A season in the three points for a win era.
I didn't honestly know that until you just told me. The credit goes to the players, who fully embraced the ideas of their coach and club to work all on the same page. Every game is different, but we always believe in our approach, no matter who we are up against or the difficulties we are facing."
