Papu Gomez, Gollini: “Society decides.” But think of the substitute

On July 2-2 at the Stadium he said that Atalanta, with a little less remorse, could fight for the Scudetto; Yesterday’s 1-1 did not say why Atalanta can fight, but they do say they fight. And he continues to look Juve in the eye, for the third time in a row they don’t lose at home, they make them suffer. Gasp still can’t beat her in the championship, but yesterday he scared her again: “We could have lost her, but we were much closer to winning her, even with the changes. Indeed, at a certain point we were convinced of winning her: we miss her. We just missed her. the hit of the ko “. That is why the technician in the end felt more than one point in his pocket. Not in qualifying, and it’s always a matter of regret to think where the Goddess would be today if she had always played like this in the last two months. But Gasperini does not feel that he has found Atalanta, “because he had never lost them.” The fact is that so far he had never obtained more than three useful results in a row: last night he reached four, and not by chance.

Papu, what hymn do you sing?

However, if Atalanta has found Gomez, it is too early to tell. Certainly Gasperini does not say that, because on Saturday the focus of attention changes (“Talking only about one player would be offensive to everyone else”) and he only makes an indirect reference to the Argentine, explaining that today, in this Atalanta “that has less imagination “. in attack but with more balance, “he must play later. And in fact he put it there, when he sent it to the field. But Papu’s lights had been turned on long before the game started, when he was” surprised “by humming the anthem of Juve with a wide smile. Some videos are ruthless, and sometimes social networks are a double-edged sword: Papu uses them a lot, it happens that they turn against him. Hypothesis number one: Papu does it on purpose , going against the current with respect to the diplomatic work that the club and its prosecutors are carrying out and with respect to the hopes of his teammates, for all the monstrous Gollini of yesterday: “I hope he continues to be our captain, but the company decides.” Second hypothesis, the Papu simply uses bad instinct, certainly worse than in the field.

Maehle del Genk

There, as almost always, he did well last night, after a bit of fighting with the cleats and the captain’s armband, which Freuler gave him and which almost symbolically fell from his arm at times. And there it is normal to believe that we will see him again: already on Sunday against Roma and in any case at least until January. Then the market will say what Gasperini did not say yesterday: “Who will arrive if he leaves? Speaking of these things with the club, I am thinking of Rome and Bologna.” On the other hand, Atalanta, obviously according to the coach, is thinking about a right-back: we speak again, as in the summer, of the Danish Joakim Maehle, 23, a full-back for Genk, a club with which we have excellent relations.
