Italian Serie A 2019/2020

[vex]

what's crazy is, with their shit thin depth AND zapata out for 3 months, they're right there with us and in CL ko rounds. I can't even imagine Inter with lukaku for 3 months. Or lazio without immobile for 3 months. Inzaghi and conte would whine so much

I don't think they have thin depth though, especially not in a sense that we and lazio have. If they had it they would crumble long time ago. Bigger names on paper on our bench, for me at least don't equate with bigger depth. Almost all of their players are serviceable and fit the system perfectly, and that's probably due to gasperinis longevity at the club.

Fuck I hope this Atalanta kills psg

Atalanta's "weak" point is their D. And PSG's lineup is Neymar, Mbappe, Icardi, Cavani, Di Maria. Can they contain those guys in a CL knockout game?

And their strong point is their offence, which again has to outscore those guys.

But who knows. Stranger things have happened

Don't discount PSG's propensity to forget how to defend in big games

I wouldn't underestimate the effect of not playing a single competitive match in 5 months. But fuck its gonna be a nice game with shitload of goals.

Di Maria is suspended and looks like Cavani won't play in the CL as his contract with PSG expires before that and based on rumours, he doesn't want to get injured before his new contract. But still, Mbappe will be the most dangerous for this Atalanta team with his speed.

Actually PSG has 2 competitive matches in July, as they still have to play their 2 domestic cup finals in France, vs. Saint Etienne and Lyon.

interesting comment from Gasp after their win last night

“I know PSG are playing two Cup games in France before the Champions League. I don’t know if it’s better to have 13 Serie A games like us or two competitive matches plus some friendlies. We will see,” smiled Gasp.

“It’s like saying we play every three days and are therefore tired, something I don’t believe at all. Similarly, I don’t believe that PSG will be unprepared because they haven’t played.

 

[firmino]

He's not the first coach to say this, I remember many years ago an interview where a Serie A coach, I believe it was Cagni when he coached Piacenza (but i'm not entirely sure it was him), said exactly the same replying to a journalist who implied it was going to be easier for his team to play against a club which also had to play three days after that match.

I find it really hard to believe it to be honest buy it's food for thought, mostly because it doesn't seem to have affected Atalanta so far.

I completely agree with Gasp there. Playing intense games every three days is far better physical preparation. Tiredness shouldn't be a problem.

Or Juve without Dybala/Ronaldo (specialy Dybala in this moment)

I expect Atalanta to play a great game, but.....I reckon refereeing will stop them from advancing. We have seen the same story happen to many times now.

Genuinely interested in how Bologna will approach the game vs Napoli tonight.

I'm interested in Sassuolo. I think they could get a result vs juve.

I don't know. There's this guy in yellow that always performs well for them.

Well we did, Sensi hasn't played in forever, and Sanchez was injured for how long? After the restart, we got hit even harder with injuries...Atalanta on other hand, has been relatively healthy all year, also Lazio, at least pre-corona.

Brace from our ex Primavera player Federico Bonazzoli against Cagliari. He has reached 5 Serie A goals this season.
