La Dea was held at home and did not benefit from taking advantage of the Napoli collision later in the evening with Inter Milan, which ended 1-1. Atalanta leaves the result three points outside the top location.
Gasperini said afterwards: “We could not have continuity in the attacking areas. Better in the second half: there were some technical errors, but I would underline the defensive performance of Venezia that were well put on the field and with attention.
“We have given a lot in many ways. If we play at home with a numerically very dense defense, it becomes a bit complicated to look for the goal. The explanation also lies in the fact that we were not perfect in many situations.”
He added: “The pitches are not at their best these days. The ours is great, but in some periods of the year it is not the best to play the ball on the ground. That is not the reason for the trek.
“What we had all hoped for was the victory. The boys gave everything to win the game, despite the difficulties caused by a really good opponent. The balance in every game is total: the matches are complicated. We regret the result, but we have not lost and the performance was there. The championship is very long.”
