The former double Damiano Zenoni spoke about the match between Atalanta and Udinese to Messaggero Veneto: “I would see Lucca and Davis in attack right from the start to bother Atalanta. I saw that with Lucca and Davis in attack Udinese tamed Cagliari did well and put Juventus in serious difficulty. It is a couple that convinces me in this game system because they both know how to act as a reference and know how to hit. If served well they can put any defense into difficulty, even that of Atalanta”:
Speaking of the Bergamo players, he agrees on the fact that “Right now this Goddess has started grinding again in Europe too and the old style Atalanta is being revisited, even with the addition of something new” and admits that “For Udinese it will be tough, even if from a physical point of view the Bianconeri know how to keep up in duels.”
The former Samardzic, “He is on the launching pad and in two-three months he could explode, even if we must then consider the fact that not everyone can play despite now there are at least sixteen starters in the rotations. The Serbian is very talented and also shoots with the ball in this game in which he is used on the attacking midfield as a finisher. In Naples he came in to replace De Ketelaere. But let's not forget that Zaniolo is also behind us, and if Gasperini manages to make him explode, then it is likely that they will make a statue of him outside the stadium for all the players he has developed”:
Atalanta from the scudetto. For Udinese, however, Europe remains difficult: “Honestly, I still don't see them as competitive enough to return to the cups, but if they have the ability to get out of the battle for survival soon then they could join the big teams. Lately it has seemed a bit like the usual Udinese, tied to the usual form.”
