Atalanta, a good first in Genoa. Immediately check with the Italian champions
Good first in Genoa (Samp side). A 0-2 that, however, finds equidistant answers. Who, in fact, is for the result; others turn up their noses for a performance deemed smeared. Our verdict: Nerazzurri winners but not convincing. The goal canceled at the start of the match at the premises (the referee decided after watching the slow motion) and the couple of woods hit by the hosts come to mind. However, it is necessary to take into account the important flat rates of Demiral, Zappacosta, Ederson and Palomino. At the same time, however, let’s not forget the airy play (albeit in flashes) on the flanks so much loved at Gasp since the day of arrival in Zingonia. Another aspect is the availability of the collective in the place to be competitive and in helping each other from department to department. Then, as you know, the three points put in your pocket inevitably lead to the sudden inclination of evaluations and considerations on the positive. Among the happy notes were applauded Maehle (let’s keep it tight, other than expose it on the market) and the twenty-four-year-old Lookman, author of the doubling as an authentic soloist of the goal. Certainly next week’s round (Sunday 21) against the Italian champions Milan at the Gewiss Stadium will offer a slap-up check because the Rossoneri are worth ten times, if not more, the technical consistency (and not only) of Sampdoria. But an Atalanta mentally revved up for the happy debut and the contribution of the supporters could represent the classic added value for hitting a second success in a row.
