Atalanta have quietly climbed to the top of table!

This round of Serie A ushered in a good show again, that is, the newly-promoted Monza will face visiting Atlanta at home. Before the game, the situation on both sides can be said to be diametrically opposite. As the team of former AC Milan chairman Berlusconi, Monza Zha has obviously done a lot of homework after upgrading to Serie A. In the transfer window, based on the principle of spending little money to do big things, they have loaned out almost all the marginal players from the giants in Serie A, including Arsenal’s Barber. A player like Roma who performed well in Serie A last season, but they seemed very unsuitable for the rhythm at the beginning. They have only one goal in the face of Atlanta without a victory in 4 rounds, and that is to get 1 point.

Atlanta’s side was almost at a low point last season. They failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage. They lost another move against RB Leipzig in the Europa League. In the league, they ranked 8th at the end of the season. Such is the scene! Perhaps because there is no multi-line combat mission, this Atlanta team has become extremely focused under the training of the old coach Gasperini. Since the start of the game, they have won 3 wins and 1 draw and remain undefeated in 4 rounds. Once they win, they will overtake Naples to the top of Serie A.

It is not unreasonable for Monza to be called the Milan 2 team. In addition to the relationship between the top and AC Milan, their team also has a lot of players who are related to Inter Milan. In the face of Atlanta, their starting players are also the same. With old Atlanta players like Pesina and Petania, it can be said that Monza is the stitching monster of the new Serie A season.

What I didn’t expect is that at home Monza actually dared to control the ball at the beginning. In the face of Atlanta, their ball possession rate turned out to be a complete advantage in the first 30 minutes of the game, but it is a pity that the advantage of possession did not translate into goals. , in the 5th and 16th minutes of the game, Sensi contributed 2 long shots that were wide of the goal range, and Atlanta teenager Heilund also had a shot attempt at the end of the first half of the game, but it seemed that both sides were half-time. Without shooting boots, it ended with a 0-0 score.

After halftime, Atlanta’s young defender Sope came on stage directly to replace Zappacosta, and Atlanta’s counterattack also began. To Lukman on the left, the latter made a cross directly in front of the goal. Heidren swept the ball and scored, and the score reached 0-1. Atalanta’s offense doesn’t seem to be going to stop yet. In the 65th minute of the game, he used the speed advantage of the wing again. Atlanta’s offense this time started from the right. Long, the score came to 0-2. After that, Monza also seemed to have suffered a blow to his confidence. The confident possession before halftime was gone. In the end, they lost to Atlanta by 2 goals at home.

after the game

Monza is undefeated in 5 rounds and Atlanta is undefeated in 5 rounds. The situation on both sides has changed dramatically. After this game, Atlanta successfully led Naples by 2 points to reach the top, while Monza has 5 games since the start of the game. They didn’t score a point in the game and ranked last in Serie A. For Monza, their lineup is actually not bad. The key is that the players are almost a group of mercenaries as they said before. Their relegation task this season is quite difficult.

No one thought that the true blue and black Atlanta would perform so amazingly. You must know that the team only invested 42 million euros this summer, and in terms of personnel structure, except for the addition of Lookman, their lineup is almost completely unchanged. With little money to do big things, this Atlanta team may have the qualifications to compete for the Serie A championship.
