THE’Atalanta fails to win in the advance of the 6th day of Serie A and is stopped at 1-1 by Bologna at the Dall’Ara: Santiago Castro scored with a great goal in the 47th minute and Samardzic in the 90th minute for the Dea. For the hosts, the best is certainly the center forward, who showed the movements of a thoroughbred attacker. Orsolini and especially Lucumi were insufficient, whose blunder left his teammates with 10 men for most of the second half. Among the players from Bergamo, the Serbian deserves to be rewarded and not only for his goal, but also for the post he hit and the quality he displayed. De Ketelaere also did well, slightly overshadowed by Brescianini, who was guilty of the Djimsiti goal.
Vincenzo Italianotechnician of Bolognawho spoke at the press conference, praised the identity put on the field by his players and the team’s spirit of sacrifice, while underlining that something was missing: “If we had had a bit of malice on the last balls perhaps we could have even brought it home” . Finally, a comment on Urbanski and Castro: “Kacper behaved very well, he worked as an adult and I am very happy with him. He is an important footballer and I am pleased for him. Santi took a bad blow to his calf and I hope he doesn’t let it be nothing more serious.”
Gian Piero Gasperinicoach ofAtalantahowever, he doesn’t really agree with those who judge the wingers to be duller than usual: “In the first half Bellanova had several ideas but we were never able to materialise. At a certain point, then, we were playing with 5 attackers, but we had to be more clear although I must say that the boys never gave up. If we had raised the technical level slightly maybe we would have been able to bring the match home.” The Dea coach said he was satisfied with the performance and the reaction, although he regretted the result and also explained the draw with a bit of bad luck.
