Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini thinks that his side’s recent run of form is due to the squad’s confidence and continued development, following their 6-1 victory away to Young Boys on Tuesday.

The Italian side maintained their unbeaten record in the competition to go fourth in the standings following a demolition job in Bern, with two-goal Charles De Ketelaere the pick of the bunch.

The result was Atalanta’s largest-ever margin of victory in a European match, while it extended their winning run to seven matches in all competitions.

That run has seen them climb to second in the Serie A table, a point behind leaders Napoli, while they have the best xG in the division and are top scorers with 34 goals in 13 matches.

“We are in a good period of form in Italy and Europe, I’m happy with the performances and results we are getting,” Gasperini told Sky Sports.

“Winning the Europa League last season helped us to grow in confidence, self-belief and then many new players arrived too who are improving. This is what’s behind the impressive form.”

Gasperini also acknowledged that the development of some of the talent at the club has been remarkable.

“There are some players who have been here so long and know us so well that they are coaches on the field, I could easily just leave them to it,” he said.

“But there are others who need to get to know the movements, the chain reactions, the timing. On top of that, we have always had a very strong locker room atmosphere where the behaviour and attitude is always based on values.”
