Stromberg: More heroes at Atalanta apart from Gasperini

Atalanta hero Glenn Stromberg is excited seeing the club in the Europa League final.

Stromberg says the achievement is only partly down to the work of coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

He said at a function today: "For us in Bergamo it is something exceptional, no one could have thought that Atalanta could reach these levels. Now everyone knows what it's Atalanta, even abroad. I don't think anyone could believe that Atalanta would confirm themselves at this level in Europe. Congratulations to everyone.

"The secret is the whole thing. Obviously Gasperini created a situation like this, but if he didn't have a club like that behind him and players like that it wouldn't have been possible.

"Everyone gave what was needed to get to this level."
