Atalanta, all the numbers of the golden moment

In the 5 direct clashes with the contenders for the tricolor, Gasp scored 8 points, like Inter. Followed by Milan (7), Napoli (6) and Juve (5), with the challenge between the Bianconeri and the Azzurri to be recovered. Last was Roma at 3. And with 44 goals it seems not to suffer the farewell to Gomez

They call her Dea bendata. And as much as they play well, Atalanta could very well be. Because his talents are found with closed eyes. Two steps and off you go. A show.

Like the one offered in the late afternoon of San Siro. Three goals that could have been many more had it not been for a few too many embroidery. Via Papu Gomez? You don’t suffer. On the other hand, when you can afford to leave your top scorer, Luis Muriel, on the bench 11 times so far, it means that the squad has no holes. Only thorns, for the opponents.

Atomic. Term abused. But find one that best suits this Goddess. It is not enough for her to have closed the first round with 36 points, a team record. She does so having scored 44 times, only Inter precedes her with 45 (both have collected 23). With a great variety of players: Romero was the 15th Nerazzurri to score today. But it is not the only fact that should lead Gasperini to think big, even if – as he reiterated today after the Meazza coup – you will not hear him say the word Scudetto. There is another one to think about, even more relevant. In the direct clashes between the contenders for the title (Milan, Inter, Rome, Naples and Juventus, stopping at the top six in the standings), Atalanta is the one who scored the most points on a par with the other Nerazzurri: 8 out of the 15 available. In theory, Napoli could overtake them both being at 6 but with the challenge against Juventus (which boasts 5) to be recovered. Milan have one less than the leading pair, 7, all caught in the first 3 games, having lost the last two clashes with Juve and Atalanta. Roma were at the bottom, with only 3 draws and no success.

Even a year ago the Bergamo side had closed the first round in 4th place, with one point less (35) but 13 points behind the top, occupied by Juve. This time Milan are there, only 7 points. At the end of what Gasperini rightly called one of the best performances of this cycle. The Goddess seen at the Meazza would have asphalted anyone, and not just in Italy. Ninety exciting minutes, of football symphony capable of touching perfection. It will not always be like this, it would be impossible. The only regret is that the masterpiece took place in the deserted San Siro. As a great connoisseur of football that he is, the Milan public would have given him a standing ovation. Deserved.
