His “lights” on Gazzetta dello Sport gave o Jasmine Kurtic for her matches Atalanta with Olympiakos for the Europa League. The Slovenian midfielder PAOK has played in the team of Bergamo and apart from being a fan, he also states that he is confident of qualifying for the Greek champions.

«Olympiacos has a very good team with good and experienced players, such as El Arabi, Embila. It will be a difficult game but I have no doubt that Atalanta will pass and continue in Europe“, Stressed Kurtic.

As for his teammate in the national team, Jozip Ilicic, who is out due to psychological problems, he said: “I do not want to say anything about Joseph. He is a champion, a super player. What I do know and believe is that if they played in the 2020 Champions League match against Dortmund, Atalanta would continue in the tournament.».

At the same time, he referred to his tenure at PAOK, where he feels very well. «I have no complaints against PAOK, everything is going very well for me and the whole team. We did not start well but we have improved a lot and we made a good series“, While talking about the fact that he is the top scorer of the championship, he commented:”The secret is one. Hard work every day, without drumbeats. We are back in second place behind Olympiakos and we continue in the Cup and in Europe. I am well at PAOK and this can be seen from my performance».

Regarding his course in Atalanta, he stated: “I have had an unforgettable period in Atalanta and I will always be a fan of the team. When I left, I cried with my wife. We had a team with little… magicians there. Papu Gomes, Ilicic, Freuler and the other children there we had a great company. We reached the 4th place in the championship in 2017-18 and the incredible thing is that last season we had a battle with staying with Eddie Rey on the bench. The one who made the difference in the team is Manolo Gasperini. He has a way of taking 200% from each player and giving things to the team that even you did not know you could give! He is a monster in the preparation of a match and leaves nothing to chance. This does not prevent him from intervening during the match. He is a top level coach and with a little luck he could achieve even more. I enjoyed working with him. He is demanding and asks his players to be fighting until the last minute».
