The home owners won the first official match of the season. As visitors, they scored 1-0 at Torino. The three points were won in a dramatic way with the goal being scored by Dzego in the 44th minute of the final stage.
Although the victory was won “in the marra”, the result was fair. The Romans shared the possession of the ball with Turin, but they were much more effective in finishing attempts (16 to 8) and kicking (13 to 5 on target).
Hired alongside Paris Saint-Germain, experienced Argentine midfielder Javier Pastore has been scaled from the start. He left before the end, but should remain among the starters for the classic of Monday.
The doubt for the match is in relation to the use of the French striker Steven N’Zonzi. The Italians paid 30 million euros (about R $ 130 million) to get him out of Seville. He will occupy the vacancy that would be occupied by the Brazilian Malcom, who after hitting his transfer to the Italian club, was eventually sold to Barcelona by Bordeaux.
At the age of 29, N’Zonzi was in the group of the Russian World Cup and was in a race pace in Seville. In this way, there is the possibility of making his debut before Atalanta. It arrives with holder status. The biggest candidate to lose the vacancy if Di Francesco opts for his entry is the Turkish midfielder Cengiz Under.
The first bout of Monday nights for the Italian Championship for Atalanta was extremely favorable. Last week’s Serie A debut, Bergamo’s home side thrashed Frosinone, who rose from Serie B by 4-0. The goals were scored by Gomez (two), Hateboer and Pasalic.The loose victory reflected the wide dominance that the team had in the match. He was superior in possession of the ball (61% to 39%), in attempts of finalizations (16 to 6) and in the certain shots (10 to 1). It has clearly shown that it has the potential to evolve in the season.
However, they have faced a heavier schedule than their rivals for being in the fight for one of the places in the group stage of the Europa League. It has already passed two stages of the qualifiers and began on Thursday, August 23, the final fight for the classification with Denmark’s Copenhaque. In Bergamo, it was no more than a goalless draw. The return match is scheduled for August 30 at the rival’s home.
Before, Atalanta eliminated Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Sarajevo with a 2-2 home draw and a 8-0 draw. Then they passed Hapoel Haifa, Israel, making 4-1 (away) and 2-0 (in Bergamo).
The visitors got the better of the matches involving Roma and Atalanta last season in Serie A. In the first round in Bergamo, the Romans scored 1-0. In the second round in the Italian capital, the change came with the score of 2 to 1 .
Technically superior and facing a team more worn by the dispute of vacancy in the Europa League, the victory of the Rome ends up being the best prognosis for the confrontation that will conclude Monday the second round of the Italian Championship in his season 2018/2019.
