Christmas as league leaders, the first of his life in front of everyone: Gian Piero Gasperini has more than one reason to smile after the 3-2 victory earned by his Atalanta against Empoli. “And we also reached 40 points, a guaranteed safety bonus” the Nerazzurri coach joked to Sky. Even if the objective is now different.

The last two teams to win 11 games in a row in Serie A were Spalletti's Napoli and Conte's Inter, both of whom won the championship: “The difference is that in this series they took a 10-point lead over all the others, while now there are still 5-6 teams within a couple of games. We are enjoying the top of the table, only Inter can reach us, but not overtake us. Other teams are better equipped than us: today the strong teams manage to resolve matches with 5 substitutions, it is essential that the substitutions also maintain their identity. Today football is played with 16 players. Counting the minutes is useless.”

A match that didn't go well for the Dea, conceding a goal after 13 minutes on a lateral foul (“while we were watching a gentleman with a ball in the stands”, to quote Gasp), then the comeback, the equalizer with a ” penalty from var'” and 4 minutes from the end De Ketelaere's pearl: “He really wanted it, it's extraordinary: he started from that area of ​​the pitch until he found space for the shot. Only when you have confidence can you resolve a match like this difficult: in matches like these, the technical quality up front counts and De Ketelaere's was extraordinary.” However, Lodi also scored the first goal, a header: “And I am convinced that he will score many, because in addition to having technique he now also has detachment, he goes very high and knows how to read times and trajectories. De Ketelaere didn't need magic potions: he's a boy who works well, in addition to his head he now also has his heart.” It doesn't seem like it serious but he will have to sit still for a few days.”
