Maurizio Sarri<\/strong>, on his debut as coach of the\u2019Atalanta<\/strong> at the New Balance Arena<\/strong> on the occasion of the playoff <\/strong>Of Conference League, <\/strong>against the\u2019Hapoel Tel Aviv<\/strong>, he stressed that he was not satisfied with the result, but that the team's performance still had some positive aspects. \u201c<\/em>In the offensive phase he is too thoughtful, he doesn't have the automatic mechanisms yet<\/em> \u2013 the coach highlighted \u2013. Tonight we took few external initiatives, and we need to do more there. I see many positives because the team tries to do what they're asked to do. The fluidity of play is more predictable than it should be. We're talking about a team that had eight players at the World Cup and now has four players out, five with Scalvini, who has a swollen ankle.\u201d<\/em>. Commenting on the midfield, Sarri saw a good performance from new signing Gaetano, then recognizing Samardzic's ability to take initiative. As for Ederson, he emphasized the need to see him more \u201c"tidy"\u201d<\/em>. The main concern at the start of this season concerns external initiatives and the need to restore the speed of the maneuver and much more tested automatic mechanisms. \u201cThe thinking player is a player who wastes playing time<\/em> \u2013 the coach underlined \u2013. The same goes for the defensive phase, but I think it's an almost inevitable path, one that all my teams have followed. I'm not surprised by the difficulties, but I am positively surprised by the group's commitment to trying to implement certain things on the pitch. I hope this will speed up the process.\u201d<\/em>. Shifting attention to individuals, Sarri said Kristensen, who replaced Scalvini, isn't fully integrated yet from a tactical standpoint, but he played well individually. Great credit to Krstovic: \u201cSaying that it is a safe change is limiting for the boy\u201d<\/em> said the mister. \u201c"He deserves to play. He has this ability when he comes on that makes him play like a maniac for half an hour."\u201d<\/em> He added. Scamacca has been preferred at this time to deal with certain situations, and he can guarantee fifty minutes of good quality. Finally, Sarri expected a little more initiative and courage from both wingers. \u201c"We need to approach the return match without fear and with the conviction that we can overcome it. Last year, this team achieved better results away from home than at home."\u201d<\/em> concluded Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
