After defeating “Cagliari” in Sardinia (1:0), “Atalanta” has achieved a club record by winning 10 consecutive Serie A matches for the first time in its history.
Following the final whistle, fans and journalists celebrated not only the match-winner Nicolo Zaniolo but also the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.
Marten De Roon also praised the keeper on social media, stating, “After every match, club photographers send us a selection of photos. Just look how great he looks here!” It’s worth noting he has earned a ban for the match against “.”
Gasperini’s side continued their dominance by thrashing “Cesena” 6:1 in the Coppa Italia midweek. For the clash against “Empoli,” the Bergamaschi have a new target – to reclaim the top spot in the league table.
“Napoli” won their match in round 17, becoming the leaders. Whether this is temporary or not depends on “Atalanta.”
On the other hand, the Tuscans suffered a defeat in their home match against “Torino” (0:1). The only goal came from Torino’s forward Che Adams, who scored with a long-range strike from the center of the pitch, catching goalkeeper Vasquez off guard.
“We are confident that we can cause problems for “Atalanta.” We are not facing a provincial team but a big club. My boys are doing proportionally what “Atalanta” does; they are our source of inspiration.
I’m pleased with how the boys have performed in training; they have exceeded all expectations. We have nothing to lose. “Cagliari” put “Atalanta” in a tough spot in the first half, and we took note of that,” said “Empoli” coach Roberto D’Aversa.
It’s hard to imagine that after 10 consecutive league wins, “Atalanta” would slip up in a home game against “Empoli.” No, that shouldn’t happen. Gasperini’s team is in excellent form and will secure yet another significant victory.
