Atalanta is known for its attacking football, as it is known Retegui and Lookman were good last season. Atalanta's problem is that Atalanta did not maintain its consistency throughout the season. Atalanta will definitely be in the championship race this season and the leadership will be a serious threat. Inter and Napoli will already be there this season.
I wonder what Juventus and Milan will do, they should be there too, these teams would not have spent their seasons like this, they are teams that won cups and they will come for that cup.
If Atalanta can always maintain their consistency throughout the season then there is no doubt that Atalanta will be able to compete for the title in Serie A every season. The problem is that Atalanta cannot always play well. They sometimes even experience a decline when the season is in the middle and nearing the end.
And in the coming season I feel Atalanta will have quite a hard time competing at the top. Because they will adapt again to their new coach, Ivan Juric, after they lost their old coach who has now moved to AS Roma.
This season will be a slightly more difficult condition for Atalanta in my opinion, their good performance cannot be separated from Gasperini's intelligence in concocting tactics and schemes that they will show in the match but the coming season is a little different.
Gasperini has decided to join Roma which of course could be a transition for Atalanta because they lost a very good coach who could maintain performance even with a squad depth that is indeed not too luxurious.
In addition, several players are still being targeted by several big clubs so that the new coach who will be at Atalanta later must try harder if expectations for this club are still maintained.
They have always been the dark horse and this could be a big pressure for their new coach later.
