Losing an important person on the team can indeed change the overall performance of the team, and we saw it in Atalanta. However they conduct their business, they must accept the impact. What is more challenging for them is not just the Serie A matches throughout the season, but they also have to compete in the Champions League, which would certainly be a disadvantage if their performance declines. Many teams are restructuring to face an increasingly tough season, but there will be teams that actually experience a decline in performance.

Yes, Atalanta will definitely struggle to perform well this season. As we know, they have lost their best goal scorer, Retegui. But I don't think that's the main problem, because the real problem Atalanta has is the loss of the coach who made them a great team in Serie A. So, I think that's what's making Atalanta even worse now. Because basically, we can see for ourselves that since Gasperini left Atalanta, their performance has worsened.

The proof is that Atalanta couldn't win against weak teams like newly promoted Pisa. So, with that, it could be a sign that Atalanta is really not doing well this season. I think they need to find a better way out so their performance can improve again. Because basically, everything is already done, so they won't be able to turn back time. Therefore, for now, Atalanta just needs to do their best, whether it's in Serie A or the UCL.

I'll be honest, one person certainly lowers a team's performance, but one person can't change the outcome.
Football is a team game, and placing all your trust in one player is like shifting responsibility to just one person. I don't agree with this vision of the game.
Stars make the difference, but let's remember that we're all important; no one is indispensable. Atalanta just needs to find a good goalscorer, perhaps one better than Retegui. There are many young talents yet to be discovered, and there always will be, we just need to give them opportunities.

Yes, what you said is true, my friend, because basically, a team's success is influenced by all players and not just influenced by one player. But the problem is, losing a spearhead like Retegui will certainly make Atalanta not as sharp as in the previous season. Because although it is true that in the transfer market this season, Atalanta also bought a new striker, but I see his performance has not been seen well. Maybe it is also because the player is still new to the team, so with that, maybe his good performance has not come out.

But still, Atalanta currently needs a good striker to be able to make them a great team again. In addition, currently their main striker, Scamaca, is injured, so I think that will add new problems for Atalanta. Because for now, Atalanta does not have a replacement player who can match Scamaca's performance. So with that, I think Atalanta's performance may be even worse. Because basically, besides their attack line which is currently problematic, their defense line also does not seem very strong. So I think this season is not a good season for Atalanta.
