Scamacca is BIG!💯
Atalanta is a sort of sporting miracle which has been reconfirmed for several years. In fact, the project with Gasperini has been going forward since the 2016/2017 season; it was initially characterized by loans and sales, but still a period of growth. The end of this "first cycle" can be identified with the 20/21 season, in which, after the great Champions League campaign of the previous season, some players dropped in performance (above all their sensational duo of playmakers: Ilicic , who has always been inconsistent but fell into depression in that period, and Papu Gomez, who started the season very well but argued with the coach and ended up out of the squad). Since then they have rebuilt themselves, going through discontinuous years but still laying the foundations of the current team (emblematic, I would say, is the growth of Koopmeiners and Lookman). I think the key to this success lies in competent and passionate ownership & management (the former president and current minority shareholder was an Atalanta footballer) and in the coach, who has stubbornly carried forward his ideas (he is a character with strong and with clear ideas, for which he is also ready to sacrifice some points in the short term convinced that sooner or later they will bear fruit) while managing to change them a little based on the performers, who have changed a lot over the years also in terms of characteristics, just see the statistics of the wingers in the first cycle (Conti, Spinazzola or Gosens) and compare them to the current ones.
Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen will be a crazy match considering that Leverkusen who has not lost a match almost over a year and Atalanta who is crazy in the Serie A
Atalanta definitely kills the narrative that Italian teams are “slow and defensive”.
They play such entertaining football and are one of the few sides that employ two no.9s in their formation.
No wonder Gasperini has been linked to the Liverpool job.
