With this result, Atalanta was thrown to 12th place and of course this is not comfortable for them considering 5 matches with 2 wins and 3 defeats as well as being the weakest club in terms of defense because they have missed 11 goals, obviously this does not reflect them as a dark horse club in previous seasons.
t's very discouraging to see how Atalanta have almost fallen to the bottom, because 12th place is not good at all, they have to make a better effort to recover, personally I think they have to improve, or are they putting all their energy into the UCL which is also not bad and they are neglecting their time in Serie A, for me that could be that, it's not easy to have the best performance in both competitions, it's not the Europa League anymore, it's a much bigger competition, of a higher level where only the best are, so it could be that it's affecting them, all that can come together and cause these results, we have to wait for them to improve, I'm sure they will improve.
What I'm worried about is that they are trying to focus on all the competitions that are undertaken which actually makes Atalanta again difficult and face the same problems as a few seasons ago happened where when they tried to focus on several competitions at once but the situation was not very favorable then the results they got were destruction and failure in all their competitions.
In the 2021/2022 season they once felt the same thing which even made them scattered in 8th place for Serie A which took several seasons to be able to maintain their stability to rise. This season if Gasperini does the same thing, it is not impossible for this condition to be repeated, which in fact results in a coaching seat that could be lost.
Btw in another match today Milan won again with a fairly landslide score, after the victory in the Milan derby last week it looks like Milan are starting to get good confidence and can maximize the momentum they have.
