The Great German Star: We've underestimated the virus, now we live in a ghost city.

Atalanta's side guard, Robin Gosens, has said that it has been underestimated by the Coronavirus and that it is now living in a “ghost town” in Bergamo.

Atalanta has made great surprise to this season by reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League after defeating Vallencian with a overall score of 8:4 after two matches.

But, after the historic night in Mestalla in the return of the 1/8th of the Champions League final, everything has stopped, and Gosen says it is now living in fear. Three Valencia players and two members of the Spanish club's staff have tested positive with coronarys. Atalanta's team is in quarantine now.

I don't understand one thing: why were we allowed to play without fans, but were all those fans outside the stadiums in European cities for the Champions League matches? There is no meaning”, Gosens said for “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, Transmission Time.net. I was afraid when they explained that the Lombard region is the center of everything, and that nowhere else in Europe has there been so many cases. That day I said to myself: All right, first he was in Wuhan, now he's here. We're in danger now. Bergamo is like a ghost town now”.

Juvenus defender Daniele Rugani was the first player in Serie A who resulted in positive coronavirus. But the number has grown to ten already. Six of them are from the Sampdoria club.

We've all underestimated COVID-19. I was first. I told myself it's nothing more than a flu. I went out at the restaurant, met with friends. We didn't know about the enemy and his capacity. We only realized it when we had a lot of case”, Gosens said.
