“ We know what to do to hurt them ” Nicky Hayen hoping for another successful confrontation of the Champions League with Atalanta
The Brugge club is in Bergame this evening to face Atalanta in the second week of match in the Champions League. Last season, Club Brugge overcome Atalanta in the steps with direct competition from the competition by winning in Brugge and far from his home in Italy. Although he did not have Raphael Onyedika, head coach Nicky Hayen is convinced that his team can overcome a team from Atalanta wishing to take revenge.
Speak before the game for HlnHayen said “They will be hungry for revenge after last season, we are aware of it. We must be prepared for a fierce start. But of course, we also believe in our own chances. If you dig here, they have enough quality to exploit this. We know what to do to hurt them. ” The Hayen team started this competition with a fantastic 4-1 victory against Monaco at home. The Belgian team was far too good for their Ligue 1 opponents and completely dominated the game. They will certainly miss Onyedika in the central areas against Atalanta, but they also catch the Bergamian -based side in a transition period. The side adapts to life without Gian Piero Gasperini, who left for Roma and was replaced by the former boss of Southampton, Ivan Juric.
Juric and his Atalanta team lost 4-0 in their opening match against PSG. Last weekend, they drew 1-1 with Juventus, while Club Brugge beat Standard Liege 2-1.
