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 - Atalanta heads into the match at Juventus with 38 shots for and 82 conceded (82 in the first four matchdays). Maurizio Sarri addressed the issue at the start of his pre-match press conference, admitting that his team's defense was too deep and passive, and not always supported by good reading of the game. The positive aspect, however, is that the team maintained a high center of gravity. Their preparation is suffering from the aftermath of the World Cup, which ended in mid-July, the transfer campaign that ended midway through the season, and now a long break looms with two-thirds of the squad missing...

BERGAMO - Maurizio Sarri was the last coach to win the Scudetto with Juventus, whom he will face in Turin as Atalanta coach.

Atalanta were defeated at home by Cagliari in the match in which the team, more and better than ever, came closest to winning the title.

BERGAMO - Atalanta suffered their first home defeat, falling 2-1 to Cagliari in a match in which the Nerazzurri failed to capitalize on their attacking prowess. Sarri's team played well in the first 15 minutes, before being surprised by the Rossoblu, who took the lead through Mendy, before coming back late in the first half, equalizing through Scamacca. The second half played out a similar story, with a blistering start and Atalanta pushing forward, until the penalty converted by former player Maldini just after the final quarter, which turned the tide of the game.

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…

BERGAMO - Jonathan Rowe is ready to become the new Ademola Lookman, having scored 41 goals in 105 appearances in Bergamo, including the hat-trick that decided the Europa League final in Dublin in May 2024. It was Rowe himself, in his presentation press conference alongside sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli, who revealed that the Anglo-Nigerian striker, during his holidays, strongly advised him to choose Atalanta to make the leap in quality, even before any negotiations had even begun. A sign of fate. But Rowe, flattered to have Maurizio Sarri as his coach and convinced he was right for his...

BERGAMO - Returning to where it all began. For Franck Kessie, his return after nine seasons at Atalanta, where he stood out in the 2016-2017 season, attracting the attention of AC Milan and then Barcelona before answering the call of Al-Ahli in the Saudi league, represents a new beginning to continue his high-level career. The Ivorian international brings experience, which, combined with tactical intelligence and physical strength, makes him a key player in Sarri's 4-3-3 formation, which focuses on the ball. This was emphasized by sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli in the press conference…

Roma overturned a one-goal deficit in the closing stages to secure a victory against Atalanta, drawing level with Inter at the top of the table. After a first half dominated by the Giallorossi, with Carnesecchi decisive on several occasions, Atalanta broke the deadlock early in the second half with a powerful right-foot strike from Ederson.

BERGAMO - Atalanta returns to challenge their former coach Gian Piero Gasperini, this time with a completely different tactical philosophy. The one Maurizio Sarri is instilling in his squad, which has switched to a four-man defense and zonal marking. To the Giallorossi coach, who called Roma-Atalanta a show of strength, Sarri reiterated his great respect for him and reflected that it's a beautiful and important match, but a difficult one between a team that has 14 months of work behind it and one that has been building for 45 days. "Roma were a strong team, that…
