Football. ua presents the announcement of the match of the twenty-second round of the Italian championship between Sassuolo and Atalanta.
Atalanta and Sassuolo decide in the current championship absolutely opposite tasks: Bergamaski have good chances to secure a performance in European competition next season, and "neprovedi" have not yet secured themselves from the struggle for survival.
Sassuolo - Atalanta Saturday, January 27, 7:00 pm. Reggio Nell'Emilia, MAPEI Stadium. Arbitrator - Paolo Valerie Sassuolo very successfully carried out a castling on the coaching bridge, and dangling in the immediate vicinity of the relegation zone "neverdi" under the direction of Beppe Yakini in seven games won three wins, twice tied and lost twice. In this case, the defeat from Fiorentina (0: 3) and Genoa (0: 1) happened on the road.
However, the successful game of the hosts in their native walls is unlikely to affect the mood of Atalanta. Guests may reasonably consider themselves robbed in a duel of the last round against Napoli, when the referee did not fix offside in the moment preceding the only goal in the match played by Mertens. In addition, the Bergamaski on this tour can significantly strengthen their positions in the fight for a ticket to the Europa League, as their main competitors meet very difficult rivals (Sampdoria - with Roma, Milan - with Lazio) and may well lose points.
Also, one of the most attractive teams of Serie A should take into account the fact that in less than a month the struggle in the European League will resume, where Atalanta will have to confront Borussia D, so we should try to take the maximum points in the championship of Italy in the period of relatively low load on the players we will not forget that the "Nerazzurri" also made it to the semifinals of the Italian Cup, where they will meet with Juventus).
Interesting facts - Atalanta won three last away matches in Serie A.
- Atalanta does not lose Sassuolo in eight games in all tournaments.
- In December, Atalanta beat Sassuolo from the Italian Cup, beating the current opponent in Bergamo - 2: 1.
Approximate compositions Will not play: Letchtert - Spinazzola.
The words of Beppe Yakini, coach Sassuolo:.
"The match against Atalanta will be much more difficult than against Torino. Gian Piero Gasperini created a team that has its own face, unlike others, and knows how to implement its plans for the game. To achieve a good result, we need to be perfectly organized, fully concentrated and try to realize their moments, which for sure there will be a little ".
Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta coach:.
"Sassuolo - a team that, first of all, perfectly prepared physically. Therefore, we will have to sweat a lot, because the intensity of the game will be very high. It is necessary to try to achieve a solid advantage as soon as possible in order not to be again a hostage of judicial errors.
I'm told that Mertens was offside just three centimeters. But to determine the truth in such controversial points and introduced a system of VAR. In any case, at the meeting of the Serie A trainers with the arbiters headed by Nikolai Rizzoli, no one said that 3 cm is an acceptable error for the judges ".
