In today's game, if Atalanta can get three points, they can lock up the top five in Serie A in advance and qualify for next season's Champions League. But is this game really as simple as it seems? It may not be necessary to strike iron.
First of all, it is the old problem that was said before the iron, Atalanta's physical problems cannot be ignored, they themselves are the second team that can run in Serie A, the tactical intensity is very large, and recently it is a three-line battle, the schedule is very dense, and each line cannot be abandoned.
The last defeat to Juventus in the Coppa Italia was the beginning of the physical alarm, and if you can't make a choice, you risk losing all three lines.
Then there is the technical and tactical restraint relationship between the two sides, the advantage of the Atalanta team is the excellent defensive counterattack ability, but their disadvantage is that the ball control ability is very poor, their average time of each possession is only 9.61 seconds, can only rank 11th in Serie A, and what's worse is that today Atalanta's frontcourt organization core Koopmeiners can't play, and the midfield organization will decline a lot.
And Lecce's team's pressing ability is very ferocious, and this season's PPDA value can rank sixth in Serie A. Can Atalanta resist Lecce's frantic pressing without Koopmeiners?
In terms of data, the start only gave Atalanta a height of 2 floors, and then reluctantly came to 3 floors, and the iron hit thought that this was gradually heating up the heat of the away team, and this iron still supported Lecce, at least to save face!
