Not only Zaniolo, but also Samardzic, Brescianini and even Scalvini. When Gian Piero Gasperini he mentioned them in a row, in yesterday’s press conference, few thought he was serious. And yet there it is, the one that is difficult not to define as aAtalanta-2, without taking anything away from the quality of the players chosen by the Orobic coach to challenge theInter. However, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Pasalic and Ederson remain out: the best of the team Goddess in a convincing season for everyone, in the absolute debut of the Bergamo players in the Italian Super Cup.
Message in a bottle? It is difficult to fully interpret Gasp’s formation choices. Which, it must be said, is no stranger to surprises: it could be yet another successful experiment in a career where only he can give the lessons. As regards the attack, however, with a pinch of inventiveness you can read, between the lines, a message to the management: without Retegui and Scamacca, they have chosen not to have established attackers. As if to say: if those I have are enough, they will also be able to challenge Inter. Conversely, a weight graft could be useful.
And then there is Scalvini. The defender returns as a starter exactly six months after 2 June 2024, the match against Fiorentina in which he suffered the injury that led to a long absence. recovering from a long injury. He does it in midfield: it is a role he has held, both at the beginning of his career in the Atalanta youth team and on some occasions as an “adult”. Of course, never facing Barella-Calhanoglu-Mkhitaryan.
