Gómez-Atalanta, the end is getting closer and closer

Yesterday 90 ‘on the bench and the words of Hamlet by Gian Piero Gasperini. Today the story on Instagram of Papu Gómez, who breaks the silence about the case that has been shaking Atalanta for weeks. “Dear Atalanta fans, I am writing here because I have no way of defending myself and talking to you. I just wanted to tell you that when I leave you will know the truth of everything. You know me and you know who I am. I love you, your captain.” The Argentine yesterday afternoon had also posted photos in the company of his agent Alejandro Naccarato, fueling rumors about a possible dismissal of Bergamo in the winter session of the transfer market.

Relations between Gasperini and Papu remain cold, after the disagreement in the Champions League match with Midtjylland. The exclusion of the starting eleven against Fiorentina was minimized by the coach (“Gómez was the only player in the squad who played all the games of the season”) in the post-match statements, but certain phrases are indicative: “I don’t know how This situation is going to be overcome – said Gasp -. Strong decisions are made by the club, but you always have to look forward and not stop, otherwise you run the risk of going backwards. Papu was the most important player for us this year. but proposing him as an ‘all player’ has sometimes become complicated. Therefore, he needs availability and trust. ” In practice, Gómez can continue to be useful, but only under certain conditions and if he respects the tactical tasks decided by the coach, who would like him to be broader and more advanced to give balance to the team. The diversity of ideas about the position on the field was precisely the reason that led the two to argue on the field and in the interval with Midtjylland. For his part, Gómez with these social outings certainly does not facilitate the pacification process. On Wednesday, Atalanta plays a fundamental game in Turin against Juventus. If Papu were not among the owners again, the Argentine’s words would sound more and more like an early goodbye to the city and the team that has turned his career around. An epilogue that would not be in line with the beautiful story built in recent years, in which Gomez undoubtedly starred as the main actor.
