A great Atalanta beat Diego Armando Maradona and reduced Napoli’s ambitions, at least for one afternoon. But will it really be like this? Here’s what the commentators think about TMW Radio.
Stefano Impallomeni: “Atalanta is strong, I agree with what Conte says. However, Conte says ‘I’m not hiding’, then takes three slaps from Atalanta and makes excuses. Atalanta won deservedly but didn’t lose ground Napoli. But for me Napoli are less competitive than Inter and Atalanta, we’ll see how they play now. There’s great will, work from the bottom for Conte, but it’s not enough to win the Scudetto a blow like Juve took against Stuttgart”.
Daniele Garbo: “For me, Napoli is not diminished but I didn’t expect such a defeat. I expected a hard-fought match. It certainly makes it clear that Napoli’s escape was a quick escape. It will be a very short championship until the end.”
Massimo Bonanni: “Conte’s team is more solid than spectacular. He said that Atalanta is stronger than Napoli today and he is right. Napoli in the eleven is an equally strong team, certainly winning the scudetto in Naples is not easy, in Bergamo even more so. In my opinion Atalanta will struggle to win the scudetto but they can beat anyone.”
Fabiano Santacroce: “No, on the contrary, this defeat is only good for them. As a game I saw it much worse against Milan, Atalanta didn’t play a good game, they managed to take advantage of the opportunities and that’s it. Playing against Inter is perhaps a good thing, they are the best team to play against now, because they can hurt the Nerazzurri in an open field.”
Massimo Orlando: “When you lose 3-0 like this at home you lose confidence. Yesterday was a lesson, including tactics, from Gasperini to Conte. Lukaku is still, he’s static, he doesn’t move. He also loses physical duels, which were his forte He must improve too, because this Napoli team needs a different Lukaku.”
Fabio Santini: “If Conte’s words have a beneficial effect, we will already see it against Inter. If Napoli were to lose or go out with their heads down against Inter, then the security of the championship could falter.”
