Although it was a pity that Atlanta's second winning streak was interrupted, the team was not discouraged. Moreover, the players also tried their best in the last game, but they lost to some other factors including luck.

, of course, it is still necessary to summarize the lessons learned from the failure of this game after the game. In fact, it is normal for this kind of thing to happen. Even the winning streak of the most outstanding team will be lost in the long season.

It has been interrupted several times, and more teams' winning streaks are fragmented, and teams with worse performance may even have no winning streak at all.

After returning home, the Atalanta players took a short rest and then devoted themselves wholeheartedly to training. In the next round, their opponent was Benevento, the deputy squad leader of the league. In addition, it was a home game. Such a matchup arrangement

It is almost the same as giving away points directly, but the players will never take it lightly. The process of the game on November 27th was indeed very smooth. The Atlanta players took control with almost no effort.

situation, and finally defeated the opponent 3-0.

Winning this victory is reasonable, but it is more difficult to start a new round of winning streak and regain the top spot. Fortunately, the situation in the next two rounds of the league is not good for them.

It is a big piece of good news for Atlanta. Although Atlanta has to face two consecutive away games, their opponents are all mid-to-lower teams. However, several other competitors in the first group have to face more severe and continuous fierce battles.

.Perhaps after these two rounds, the position of the league standings will once again undergo huge changes.

The time has just entered December, and the fifteenth round of Serie A has already followed, and the most interesting game was played on the first day. The first game of SPAL was won 3-1 in Rome.

After the game, it was immediately followed by the highlight of Naples versus Juventus. This match between the top spot and the third place ended with Naples losing 0-1 at home. Juventus, who scored these precious three points, still had a goal difference.

The disadvantage is that it ranks third, but it has successfully organized the pace of the leader's progress.

Another team that benefited from the result of this game is Atalanta. As long as they can win Turin in the next day's game, they can return to the top of the standings.

However, although Turin's strength is average, it is good at defense. It is not easy to win the opponent in the away game. When the local game started the next day, although Atlanta was aggressive in the first half of the game,

However, they were still unable to pry open the opponent's tortoise shell. At the end of the first half, Atlanta's old habit was committed again. It was unexpectedly succeeded by a wave of quick counterattacks by the opponent, and it was one goal behind after halftime.

situation.

Fortunately, Atlanta also quickly launched a wave of quick attacks after the start of the second half. Petagna assisted Jelizic in the attack, which not only equalized the score but also dashed Turin's hope of winning at home.

However, they did not change their initial tactical play because of this, and more resolutely set up a turtle shell formation in their own half, and the situation on the field seemed to have once again fallen into the same situation as in the first half. Although Atlanta occupied the

Although they had the initiative on the field, they were unable to open up the situation. However, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, they did not dare to press the formation too much before the test, so the two sides ended up in a stalemate.

Seeing that time was coming to an end and the two sides were likely to end in a draw, Li Zhao finally stood up again and blasted the opponent's goal with a free kick in the 88th minute of the game, making Atlanta 2-1 in the end.

Won this victory and once again took over the top spot in the league.

Gaining another winning streak also greatly boosted the morale of the Atlanta team. Taking advantage of this momentum, the Atlanta team came to Genoa, the hometown of Columbus, on Double Twelve, where they once again won 2

Defeating the opponent with a score of -1, Hao won three consecutive victories. However, the performance of several other competitors in this round of the league has further declined. First, Juventus drew 0-0 with Inter Milan at home, and then Naples

They also drew 0-0 with Fiorentina at home, allowing Atlanta to finally widen the points gap with them.

Atalanta, which finally returned to their home court, welcomed their opponent in the seventeenth round of Serie A on December 13th, the Blue Eagle Lazio. Although its strength is slightly inferior to several teams in the first group, it

Just because they can be ranked fifth in the current standings, they can definitely be regarded as an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

The process of this game was also ups and downs. Both sides' offensive and defensive rhythms were very fast, and they also contributed many high-quality and exciting attacks, and gradually turned into a goal battle.

First, in the 16th minute of the game, Petagna assisted Caldara with a header to score Lazio's goal. Just three minutes later, Gomez's long pass found Jelizic ambushing in the penalty area, and the latter quickly inserted

The late shot in front of the goal scored another goal, giving Atlanta a dream start of 2-0 in less than 20 minutes of the first half. However, even a two-goal lead is not insurance.

Yes, Lazio's counterattack in the second half of the first half quickly made the home team understand this truth.

In the 27th minute, Lucas assisted Milinkovic, allowing Lazio to get a goal back. In the 35th minute, after getting rid of the defender, Milinkovic received Parolo's pass and scored.

A shot from the penalty area that went straight into the corner was successful again, helping Lazio equalize the score and also complete his personal score twice.

The score in the first half finally stayed at 2-2.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Yelizic was violated by the opponent when he broke into the penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Yelizic also personally went on the field and took the penalty, helping the home team take the lead again, and also completed the penalty.

Scored a personal brace.

However, Lazio was not affected by this, and the subsequent counterattack became more ferocious. Finally, in the 65th minute of the game, Alberto once again scored an equalizing goal.

Although the goal battle between the two sides looked exciting, getting a draw at home was obviously not what everyone in Atlanta wanted. Seeing that the time had entered the 70th minute, coach Gasperini sent Sapa to the goal.

The final trump card of Tower also comes into play.

This arrangement has worked well in the past, and Zapata, who has good impact and abundant physical fitness, performed well after coming on the field. His active fighting in the rest of the second half threatened the opponent's goal many times, especially

It was the high press in the frontcourt in the 79th minute that almost caused the opponent's goalkeeper to make a mistake and almost led to an own goal.

Such unremitting efforts were finally rewarded. When the time entered the stoppage time of the second half, Li Zhao quickly recovered the ball near the midfield after his players lost the ball. From the corner of his eye, he observed Zapata who was running well.

At the same time, the ball was passed the next moment. The latter did not waste the opportunity this time. After quickly starting to shake off the defender, he only had the goal and the goalkeeper in front of him, and he rushed in.

After the penalty area, he volleyed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

4-3, Zapata's last-minute kill helped Atlanta secure the final victory, and the importance of Li Zhao's finishing touch pass cannot be ignored.

Although he failed to show an eye-catching performance for most of the game today, and his final rating was only average, no one can deny his role on the field for the home team. Under strict protection from the opponent

, his own space for performance is very limited, but he also plays a great role in containing the home team on both the offensive and defensive ends. Under such circumstances, he can also provide the team with a certain amount of firepower and deliver such a performance in the end.

Crucial assists are really not easy.

After winning this victory, Atlanta's points have reached 45 points. While continuing to maintain the top position in the standings, they also won three consecutive victories again.

Juventus and Naples also won this round, and they still followed closely. However, Inter Milan suffered a defeat, and this was just the beginning. Since then, many consecutive games without victory have caused them to completely lose points.

He slipped down the list and has never been able to compete for the top spot in the first group.

On December 20, Atlanta welcomed its first Coppa Italia opponent, Sensolo, at home. The game was not difficult, so Gasperini did not even use any specific tactics.

Despite the arrangement, the home team still took a two-goal lead early in the first half. In order to cope with the upcoming away league match, he even substituted some of the main players, including Li Zhao, in the second half of the second half.

But Gasperini's approach this time seemed a bit hasty. Soon after, the home team scored an own goal, which gave the opponent hope of a reversal and strengthened their determination to counterattack. This also made the Atlanta players on the field to play in the game.

The final stage became extremely embarrassing, almost ruining the previous good situation.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper performed well during this period. He worked hard to save the goal again and again, and Atlanta finally managed to save the 2-1 victory and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Atlanta's 18th round of Serie A will go to Milan again to challenge the other team in the duo - AC Milan. Although this game is equally important, it should not be as interesting as the one between the first group.

It's like a spark hitting the earth. In fact, this is true for the local fans of Serie A, but the collision between the two teams triggered a special factor that attracted the attention of countless Chinese fans.

This matter originated from a special signing made by the new owner of AC Milan, Li Yonghong, at the beginning of the season. Wu Lei, who was supposed to join Espanyol, was cut off halfway, so this happened today.
