Atalanta: Luis Muriel’s statements about his substitution with Gasperini | Colombia news today | Colombians Abroad

Luis Fernando Muriel is one of the outstanding players of this season in Atalanta. With 16 goals he is among the team’s top gunners with a plus: he is not a regular head of the team led by Giampiero Gasperini.

He recently gave an interview on Sky Italia in which he spoke of the work that has been entrusted to him to be the one who finishes the matches, something that clearly has been done very well.

“Does the definition of” spare bomber “bother you?” They asked him and he replied: “I don’t feel that way – he smiles – I came here to help, either from the beginning or later. I hope to continue doing well to help my Teammates”.

In addition, Muriel explained the reasons for being the man who enters from the bank, although he assured that he wants much more.

“When playing in a team that creates so many opportunities, that handles the ball and makes opponents tire, one with my characteristics I think is one more weapon. This the coach has understood and is making the right decisions because then you can see the results on the field. With that said, I work every day to play. I always want to do it and I’m not satisfied with just 20 minutes. It is not easy, the competition is strong enough, we have a very strong attack, “he said.

The last weekend, Muriel entered from the bench and scored a very important double that gave his team the victory over Udinese and in the celebration of the second goal he went to coach Gasperini to lift him. About that moment he said:

“I have a very good relationship with him. It’s serious, but sometimes I can make him laugh. After the goal, I took him in my arms because 30 seconds earlier he had lost a dangerous ball and Udinese was out on the counterattack. The coach yelled at everything and mine was a way to cancel that play. Inside the locker room is a great spirit, each fighting for his partner and this becomes a force in our favor. “

At 29, Muriel continues to demonstrate his full ability to contribute to a good team, with Italy being the country in which he has had the best results after a bitter experience in Seville.

“I have no regrets, I think I have made a beautiful career anyway, I have played in beautiful teams. I am still very young and I can give a lot. I have dreams to make and therefore I will continue to pursue them. Until now I have tried to give everything maybe with limits and errors, but I am happy like this, “he said.
