Atalanta sports chief Pierpaolo Marino is proud of their progress this season.
Beginning the season on -6 points as a penalty for their involvement in the previous seasons' match-fixing investigation, the Bergamo side find themselves in the top half of the table after the weekend's 2-0 win over Bologna.
"For us, anyway, it is a wonderful season. We regret the penalty because we would have one point more than Catania, who are indicated by all as the revelation of the season.""To qualify for Europe would be a fantastic achievement, it would deserved for the team, the Coach and the fans," reflected sporting director Marino on Radio Anch'io Sport.
