La Dea will host Real Madrid tomorrow at their Gewiss Stadium.
He said: “Atalanta is a team that will always remain in my heart, just like Palermo. The Rosanero gave me the opportunity to shine in Italian football, while at Goddess they made me play great, unforgettable matches. Achieving that levels with a small club is incredible. I still notice the affection of the people, I miss them very much and I would like to visit Bergamo more often.”
Asked if Atalanta are in the running for the Scudetto, Ilicic continued: “I am very convinced. I know the coach's football, he has built the team step by step and they are playing fantastic. It is not easy to win the Europa League and I hope they win the Scudetto too, but if not, it will be this year in the next two or three years.'
And about Real, he added: “I see Real Madrid in difficulties, but maybe in one or two games everything will change. It has already happened in the past, when people said they were done and in the end they won everything. Atalanta does it well.” Well, but to beat Real they have to give a little more, get 110%.”
