In the Italian league, only Inter Milan and Napoli seem to be doing well in terms of performance and getting the needed results, Its evident in their past 5 or 6 matches. Atlanta and Fiorentina that i thought were in form has dropped.
Yes, they do look more consistent lately compared to Atalanta, but the Serie A competition is still very tight for them because Atalanta's decline is not that drastic, they can still recover in the next matches and the points difference from the top 2 teams can still be pursued. If it has entered the middle of the season, unexpected things will happen such as a decline in performance due to fatigue or injury factors and I understand what happened to Atalanta but I still have faith that they can still fight until the end for good results.
But it seems that Atalanta will have a little difficulty in the next few matches because they have to lose Retegui temporarily due to an injury suffered by the player, Retagui who is an Italian descent player has made a good contribution to Atalanta by becoming the top scorer in Serie A at this time with 12 goals that he has scored and 3 assists, and it is clear that since he did not play in the last 3 matches Atalanta has had a hard time scoring goals, they have only been able to score one goal since Reatgui was injured, this makes things difficult for Atalanta if players like Lookman and De Ketelaere do not perform well in the next match.
I am pretty sure Gesperini will rack his brains to do something in the next match considering that their players have decreased a little in terms of scoring goals, I am pretty sure Gesperini will solve all of this, but the next two meetings are quite tough for Atalanta, they will meet Juventus this week and Napoli for the next match, this will be a match that really tests Atalanta whether they will compete for the title or will only compete in the top 5 of the Italian Serie A standings.
