That's just the Gasperini style, that's why he wants his players to be younger than most other coaches, at the same time, the tactic is indeed simple, but because of that, against modern zonal football it is also very effective, because when they press you man to man, the opposition then doesn't know what to do when they are defending, because the players can be all over the pitch because when Gasperini's men don't have the ball, they have to follow their man, so when they regain it, Atalanta players can move in ways that leave the opposition confused and if they are too reliant on the tactics for their defense, they are going to lose their men they are supposed to cover, and so Atalanta will capitalize on that......thing is, people are shocked as to why they are not doing better in Serie A (they have been doing fine btw) but the problem is, that deep defending, something that in Italy every team know how to do well, is really not a good match up against Atalanta, because at that point, even if they defend in zones, it doesn't really matter, because they are not going to lose their men like the more proactive teams would, and that's why, for example, they lost to Juventus in the Coppa Italia last week. On the contrary, Atalanta is the perfect team against high posession teams that also lacks physicality in their squad (that's why the choice of Alonso to play smaller players up front was a very bad one in this case).
Leverkusen didn’t lose because Alonso didn’t play a striker, he has won lots of games this season with that same formation even against teams bigger than Atalanta… Atalanta where just angry after losing Coppa Italia on Saturday & hungered more for this trophy & that anger made them play like beast & that’s what made them win✌🏼
Alonso gifted Atlanta that match. I was expect Two strong forwards Boniface and Sheik to test the Atalanta defence which was hardly tested . Instead of playing full backs as attackers! It was a final for God sake
Even when they were 2:0 down i went on Leverkusen page and they posted we've done this before and we can do it again. I gi live straight to bet play Leverkusen win or draw with hope 💔🤦♀️😂
I even play Atlanta to win them because xabi they do over sabi, he they bench attackers anyhow they wait for come back and he nor know say for Italy them nor they follow them do comeback anyhow
Bayern Leverkusen has been unbeaten because they haven't faced a better side like man city , they isn't that fantastic you all can agree with me and it's showed today , nah this Alonso una dey use compare Mourinho abi ?
😂😂😂😂
Lookman was on fire. The three goals were top notch
Exactly, he messed up, and has learned d hard way
Atlanta tactics 30% Physicality 70%
