“At that time, the Heidenheimers were still in the 3rd league. I was already enthusiastic about the way he ran the club, with few employees, » Kompany said of Schmidt, who was Heidenheim’s coach for 17 years and led the club to the 4th League in the Bundesliga and the European Cup « There is a lot of stability and I have a lot of respect, » says Kompany.

Atalanta is a team that counts in Italy. A team that learns ordinary (Site notre bureau spécialisé) is able to participate in the 2019-2020 season with a good run in the Champions League. Are you sure you are a member of the group that wants to recall Berggame?

Among the indisputable or almost indisputable holders, there are only three left: Berat Djimsiti, Marten de Roon and Mario Pasalic. Hans Hateboer, Robin Gosens, Alejandro Gomez, Josip Ilicic and Duvan Zapata, all on the tangent. And yet, the quality has not declined, quite the contrary. Thanks to whom? To Gian Piero Gasperini, of course.

Gasperini transforms his children

When talking about the best coaches in the world, who would mention Italy? Not many people. If some corresponds to Pep Guardiola »to only lead large teams», by Zinédine Zidane «not to take risks» , the transalpine manager adapts to the successive losses of executives by making his players progressive, regardless of where they come from and their Level at the designed moment. A fun part? It’s not the grave: it’s replacement can do just as well, or even better. A player participating? It doesn’t matter: the team remains on top of everything.

How is Charles De Ketelaere performing at AC Milan? Person. For the simple reason that the Belgian never found his place with the Rossoneri, for whom he never scored in 40 matches. With Atalanta, the Red Devil compiles 18 goals and 20 assists after 69 outings. A world of difference. A comparison that was made for the names of other players like Ederson, Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman, to the future of international caliber (Site notre bureau spécialisé)ers and to contact with the 66-year-old mentor.

An impressive autumn

The best thing about the man trained at Juventus in the heart of the 1970s is that the following season can potentially be better than the previous one. The 2023-2024 campaign is a perfect example. While we navigate Atalanta back in line after a slightly more disappointing 2021-2022 financial year with an 8th place in Serie A, the Bergamasques came close to a historic double by falling in the final of the Italian Cup against Juventus (0-1), one last season in front of Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), in the final of the European League. A success with son importance.

The European Super Cup once went face to face with Real Madrid (0-2), the formation of the Italian march on the water after the kick-off of the current exercise. Undefeated in the Champions League with only two domestic confrontations against Arsenal (0-0) and Celtic (0-0), the Orobici won three away matches at Shakhtar (0-3), Stuttgart (0-2 ). and against Young Boys (1-6). In Serie A, the Nerazzurri occupied 2nd position and remained on the high ranking success, not convincing in Naples (0-2) and against Roma (0-2) with 25 goals scored and 4 conceded in this exceptional series .

Atalanta, a Premier League style?

After receiving a great title in your history, the premier of 1961, Atalanta is registered on the palm of the Italian champion for the first time? The most optimistic will also see disadvantages. Neither are the most realistic ones. Fabio Capello, available as a candidate for credibility before the end of the final exercise, is not part of Gasperini’s salutary work. “He is one of the best coaches in Europe» , an affirmation of success with AC Milan, AS Roma, Juventus and Real Madrid, as part of Sky.

“It is often mistaken that he is a magician when the key to his success is work. The coach has a different style, but he has a mix of intensity and aggression. His Atalanta is a great team and plays the same way, which is important in the circuits» added the former England and Russia coach, who even imagines Atalanta performing well in the Premier League. Before thinking about a championship, Gasperini’s men developed among the best in Italy. A mission far from impossible given what has been proposed in recent weeks.
