In the promoters and failures of the eight teams participating in the Cups, plus Napoli, Corriere della Sera journalist Paolo Condò puts Atalanta among the best, along with Inter Milan.
INTER- “Virtually first in the league, close to the round of 16 in Champions, in the quarterfinals in the Coppa Italia. Riyadh’s black hole is dizzying, but it is the only minus in a very ambitious season. Inzaghi has a few problems to solve: the defense participates well in the game but arrives exhausted in the finals, Lautaro remains erratic and there is little behind him, Calhanoglu is irreplaceable, Frattesi has grown tired of too many benches. Great things, conversely, from Dumfries, Bastoni, Dimarco and Thuram.
ATALANTA 7.5-“The best first leg in its history, and an international run that only Real Madrid managed (twice) to interrupt. Gasperini is aiming firmly for the Scudetto, convinced that he is at the peak of the cycle, and he is not hesitating to press the club to wrest an additional helping hand. Much will depend on Scamacca’s return. On the altar of the big target, the Super Cup has been downgraded to a passing tournament, we shall see the Coppa Italia.”
The article Condò’s report cards: ‘Atalanta and Inter the best, here’s why…’ comes from CalcioAtalanta.
