Atalanta always suffers when playing on two fronts. Gian Piero Gasperini honestly admitted that he was betting on the Cup, then announced the start of “Real” week in the Champions League, and his team won just two wins in six league games. Bad play, harsh criticism and injuries , Recently, 12-14 outfield players cost her, and she flew out of the Cup, almost flew out of the Europa League, but in Serie A she scored 12 points out of 18 possible, Juventus won, the first in scoring during this time, but today was not enough.
The Crisis Neapolitans decided to follow the path of the first cup semifinal: defend deeply, not look for the ball and block Atalanta. It was against their style, but then it brought a 0-0 draw. Now the same result after the first half. They only threw the ball forward in hopes of Osimhen, since the game on goal did not break through. At the same time, they hit their mark: Gollini parried Osimhen’s blow with his head from a free kick. The Bergamanos were practically in the penalty area of Meret, but it was extremely difficult to even find the shots that reached the goal. Almost everything was blocked. They missed the mark.
However, a better quality team, healthier physically and mentally, achieved its goal. First, Luis Muriel hung rightly from the left over Zapate’s head, then Duvan shot Gozens from the right. Among these goals, “Napoli” organized a long shot from Politano and a rally shot from Zelinski, acted with more courage, held the ball longer. This helped the Atalanta to find holes in the flanks. After that, the guests didn’t give up either, Jimsiti blocked Insigne in front of the goalkeeper. Answer? Muriel mockingly spun the defender and shot easily under the crossbar, scoring her 14th goal of the season.
To their credit “Napoli” did not give up after 1: 3. He played a corner kick, Politano hung up and the ball hit Gosens in the leg. But the answer also came to this. His corner, touching the heads of Jimcity and Romero – and the score is already 4: 2. Before that, Meret also took the blow from Gosens.
The “Napoli” are left with only one victory in the last six games in all tournaments. It is unclear when this path of suffering will end for Gattuso. Maybe tomorrow. Although, they may regret the constant loss of personnel. This match on the field did not end Osimhen, and he was rushed to the “ambulance”. And “Atalanta” with the second consecutive victory in the League is setting things up there. Just in time. You can get distracted by the “Real”.
