Football. ua presents the announcement of the match of the fifth round of the championship of Italy between Milan and Atalanta.

The match between Milan and Atalanta in the fifth round of the Italian championship can be called a battle of disappointments of the starting segment of the Serie A championship. Teams that simply had to occupy seats in the top with an eye to the zone of European competition, while are at the bottom of the standings. However, each of them is sure that from the full-time match on San Siro will begin the ascent.

Milan - Atalanta Sunday, September 23, 7:00 pm. Milan, San Siro. Arbitrator - Daniela Doveri After the hassle associated with the change of ownership and uncertainty about participating in European competition, the updated Milan entered the season with great hopes, but the team of Gennazzo Gattuso so far leaves a contradictory impression. Missed the victory with Napoli, the "Rossoneri" beat Roma, but then suddenly played a draw with Cagliari.

Gattuso has not yet succeeded in ensuring that the "musicians" of his "orchestra" play harmoniously and confidently. Perhaps this will happen now. The trainer of the "devils" took seriously the preparation for the reception of Atalanta. Judging from this, it is possible at least by the fact that in the match of the Europa League against Dudelange, several main players got rest, and this was due not so much to the level of the rival in Europe as to the level of the rival in Italy.

With Atalanta, the story is somewhat different. Bergamaski very powerful started in the season, without problems reaching the round of the playoffs of the League of Europe, defeating Frosinone (4-0) and arranging a dashing shootout with Roma (3: 3) in Serie A, however, not making it to the group stage (after playing twice draw with Copenhagen and losing in a penalty shootout), "orobichi" snikli and lost since then both of their matches in the championship, and not the strongest opponents - Cagliari and Spal. However, after seven goals scored in the first two rounds, the wards of Gian Piero Gasperini in the next two did not score a single.

Defense Milan does not shine with reliability (five goals conceded in three games), but do not get involved in attacking the guests, because for the "Rossoneri" already started to score Higuain ... Interesting facts - Milan can not beat Atalanta in May 2015 (four draws and two defeats ).

- Milan can not score Atalanta in the last four meetings in all tournaments.

- Last season, the match between Milan and Atalanta ended with a score of 0: 2.

Approximate compositions will not play: Conti, Montolivo, Strinic (all - Milan).

In doubt: Koutron - Gomez.

Words by Gennaro Gattuso, Coach of Milan:.

"I do not really trust conversations about the crisis in Atalanta. Yes, they lost three games in a row, which is unusual for Gasperini and his team. So hope that they will want to continue this series funny. Atalanta likes to press the opponent and dictate his will to him. In addition, we should not forget that Milan has not beaten Atalanta for a very long time ".

Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta coach:.

"Milan has a very qualified team, the presence of only Higuain in it already speaks volumes. However, I prefer to concentrate on my team. To win, we need to play at its highest level. And if it succeeds, I do not doubt the positive result. Over the past year and a half, we lost eight players in the main team, so now you should not remember the "old" Atalanta. It's time to press the "reset" button and start living today, especially since the current team is capable of much ".
