BERGAMO – Atalanta sports miracle. The team coached by Gasperini arrived for the first time in its history in the Champions League. It is the victory of Gasperini, of the players and of the property. Many clubs would have exonerated Gasperini after elimination from the Europa League preliminaries but not Percassi. The president of Atalanta has always defended his coach. Both his first year in Bergamo, when the team has been in the relegation zone for many weeks, and this year when his cycle in the Nerazzurri seemed to have ended after the sensational elimination from the Europa League preliminaries.
Atalanta miracle, Gasperini has built an extraordinary team.
From that defeat, Gasperini was able to build his masterpiece. His task in Bergamo has never been easy because over the years the company has sold the prized pieces. Kessie, Caldara, Spinazzola, Conti and Cristante have been sold, among others. Every year, Gasperini has had to start from scratch. He is not a coach who puts eleven players on the pitch demanding their grit and sweat.
He is a technician who loves offensive football and who takes time to teach it to his players. He is the classic soccer master. This year, from that heavy elimination, he was able to roll up his sleeves and find the way to glory.
Atalanta started to march at a dizzying pace, making the most of the opponents' missteps and qualifying deservedly in the Champions League. Not only that, the Nerazzurri also eliminated Juventus from the Italian Cup and surrendered only in the final to Lazio. An extraordinary and perhaps unrepeatable season.
