It is not a very beautiful end of the time.
For a second they made me believe in a fairy tale
Gasperini is a specialist with a difficult character, he would hardly take root in the “real” conditional “real”, in which the authority of Perez and another specificity of work with the star leaders are great. But with Atalanta he proved to be an excellent symbiosis. And so much that Jan Pierrot lingered to Bergamo for nine years.
This season, the manager has reconstructed the team and with an updated bone he returned to the peak. The young Atalanta joined the championship match and even directed the ranking for four rounds. In the interval from the seventh to the 17th round, the team generally flew to the Space-11 victories to the row.
Considering that “Nerazzurri” is wrong periodically and Naples has no confidence and stability, Bergamask has had the possibility. In addition to the Champions League, the team has not had great problems: with Shakhtar, Yang Boys and Sturm they even obtained devastated victories.
The age coach remained on the contract, so there was a hint of a beautiful story of the success of a modest club.
Small slap in the face after a provocative joke
The suggestion of the decline of the Gasperini band appeared at the end of 2024 (1: 1 from Lazio). In January a trend appeared, while the team perfectly completed the overall phase of the Champions League. In the final round, the Italians played with Barcelona – and pulled out a draw, having played twice during the game. This is against one of the most brilliant teams of the season.
There is nothing to compare, this is the first tournament in this format. We are Atalanta, we must be happy to play in the Champions League, to control ourselves at the level of the best European teams.
We took a wooden medal. We like to play in the Champions League. For us this is an opportunity, a holiday. This is the Champions League, not a Barnament. Is our goal in the tournament? Win the Champions League. In general, no, the goal is acute.
It is clear that Jan Pierrot was in a good mood – and joked. Only exactly after the dark strip has it started. Over the weekend, after starting for Catalonia, they lost their glasses with Turin at home. A few days later, in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup, they flew from Bologna. At this point, another home draw in the championship was added (0: 0 with Cagalia) and, above all, the disappointment – departure from Champions League In the head round. From Bruges. Bergamask has lost both games (1: 2 and 1: 3).
Chooses the care time – there are two options
Gasperini had time to let the emotions go – and after the departure from Bruges there was nothing more than frustration. And even afterwards, Gasperini said:
As mentioned above, everything has the beginning and the end. At the end of this season, we will see if I should finalize the contract until the end or leave the club at the end of the season.
In other words, the 67 -year -old manager does not consider the option to stay in the club. The entire question is what point to choose for goodbye. Last summer, Gasperini would have been taken away in his arms: the team beat Bayer in the final The. Now there is a dilemma. On the one hand, the current season against the background of the previous one can be considered without success. In addition, the coach has a rather complicated character, perhaps it is time to update the project. On the other hand, I do not want to separate myself from such a note – for many years of the union of trust they should not be interrupted. Yes and the interaction with the team is configured, the coach’s requirements include that you can fight for something a year later.
Conflict with Lukman – A hint of a sad ending
Jan Pierrot is often in conflict – this is not a secret. A clash with Bruges led to another. In the second half of the response match, Aemol Lukman did not implement a penalty at 1: 3. After the game, Gasperini said:
Lukman should not have satisfied, he is one of the worst criminalists I have ever seen. It has frankly terrible statistics also in formation, rarely marks. The Retugs and De Ketelar were on the field, but Lukman, at the time of greater enthusiasm after the ball, decided to take the ball, and it was a moment that I didn’t appreciate at all.
After that, the attacker could not be silent:
It is sad for me to write this statement on a first day of everything, because of what we got together as a team and as a city.
The fact that they distinguish me in this way, not only wounds, but also causes a feeling of profound lack of respect, not least because of a great work and dedication, which I showed every day to help achieve success in the club e His incredible fan of Bergamo.
Like our incredible fans, the team is also worried about yesterday’s result. During the game, the nominated penalty player asked me to perform the penalty, and I took responsibility and I did it to support the team.
All parts observe professionalism. Gasperini noticed that he did not want to hurt the attacker, the Nigerian himself designed twice the goal of Empri and after the game he did not answer the question of a quarrels. Parallel, the leadership tries to cut the conflict, while the adamant has seriously thought of leaving the team to the nearest season – he was thinking about it since the summer of 2024.
With such a composition and requirements of the coach it is impossible to be a great building
The success of Atalanta and Gasperini’s success has developed contrary to many factors. Jan Pierrot is a tough coach, his football is mechanical, which requires great resistance. This style gives the result at a distance in which there is a high quality personal diet and rotation. At the same time, it is difficult to find new arrivals Gasperini – and the club is too small to have a bench, like a Chelsea. On a short segment, the team can rekindle. But there is almost no possibility of growing up to the scope of Inter or the struggle for comparable trophies.
