Sarri emphasizes humility for Atalanta against Pafos in Conference League

Summary

Maurizio Sarri urges Atalanta to maintain humility as they prepare to face Pafos in the Conference League, set to kick off at the New Balance Arena at 20:00 UK time. Sarri, reflecting on his previous tenure at Chelsea, acknowledged that leaving the Premier League might have been an error. Atalanta's recent Serie A struggles were mitigated by a 3-1 victory over Venezia, allowing little preparation for this match. Sarri noted the need for focus despite a limited defense, citing several absences. Tonight's match marks a reunion with David Luiz, who has transferred to Pafos after previously working under Sarri.
