Juventus defeated Atalanta with goals in each half, finishing a commanding game, especially in the second half. The Bianconeri broke the deadlock with Conceicao in the first 45 minutes, playing with balanced play and possession. After containing a reaction from an Atalanta team that threatened and nearly leveled the score at 1-1, but still lacked consistency in the closing stages, they increased the tempo and pressure in the second half. Bremer doubled the lead from a corner, while Carnesecchi prevented a more severe defeat in the final minutes. Spalletti's team thus celebrated a deserved victory in front of their home crowd,…

BERGAMO - Gianluca Gaetano, who spent two seasons at Cagliari, will miss the match between Atalanta and his former team due to suspension. Rossoblu coach Fabio Pisacane spoke about him in a press conference. "Last year, we believed in Gaetano in what was a new role for him, as a playmaker. Gianluca immediately took to his new position with enthusiasm; he had the footwork and tactical intelligence to fill that role. It's largely thanks to him that he managed to attract the attention of a team that competes in cup competitions. I'm disappointed he won't be playing tomorrow and that I can't say goodbye to him: it's a…

Sarri's team nearly doubled their lead, but Gasperini's side didn't give up, continuing to push, hitting the woodwork twice, and finally coming back: Hermoso equalized at the end of the second half, and then, deep into injury time, Soulé tapped in an assist from…

BERGAMO - Just when a draw seemed certain, Samardzic gave Atalanta an unexpected victory and three crucial points in the 96th minute. Atalanta struggled against a more enterprising Bologna side, capable of taking control of the game from the opening minutes. The Nerazzurri struggled to find consistency and create any threat, while Tedesco's team created the better chances, blocked by a superb Carnesecchi, who also hit the post. In the second half, the barrage of substitutions made by the two coaches wasn't enough to spark a game that offered few offensive opportunities and, above all, few...

BERGAMO There's a subtle link between Napoli and Bergamo in football. Not only because the duo of coach Maurizio Sarri and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli have thrived in the past decade in the shadow of Vesuvius, but also because of a reputation for brimming with players who grew up with the Neapolitan team or have played there successfully. Thus, while the transfer market news suggests a series of potential Atalanta signings, CEO Luca Percassi and the aforementioned director Giuntoli are working behind the scenes to expertly bring players to Bergamo that will be useful to Sarri's new technical project.
