[@FrankieBlueEyes]

I think Gasperini is one of those coaches who does better at a smaller club. Similar to Sarri, he is so demanding in the way he wants things done, I don't know if his personality would mesh well with a team full of bigger stars.

[@Mo-fd9ri]

His approach may work in Serie A and La Liga but it will not work in fast based leagues like EPL.

[@jeanytpremium]

Language barrier is a huge thing aswell, not all Italian coaches are fluent using English

[@ehhla3]

What did Jose Mourinho say about Gasperini... He is the most difficult coach I have encountered. He changed his plan four times during the match... Mourinho was coaching Inter Milan, with whom he won the league and the Champions League

[@YevOnegin]

Yeah that Genoa team was something else. Its weird seeing the world suddenly rate Gasperini because he beat Liverpool, again, even though he's doing exactly the same thing he was doing 15 years ago. And hasn't lost a hair from his head since, either. And when you look at the players that have moved on to bigger things, except for a few like Milito, they've all been failures. Really highlights that the success is due to his method and his training getting the best out of the players, rather than their individual qualities. Nets a tidy a profit, too.

[@andremuller8546]

Does not matter if he is coaching a big club or a smaller one. Important is that his squad fits to his idea. If the club is scouting just skillful, stylish players (like most big clubs) he can't succeed. His idea depends so much on phisicality and in winning 1:1 situations in offense and defence that he can not be successful if there are more then two players without an outstanding athletic. The advantage of this kind of players is, that they are difficult to beat even if they have not their best day. In addition they are always dangerous in corner kicks and freekicks. For me Gasperini is like a modern, more attractive Otto Rehagel. And Rehagel at Bayern did not work bc Bayern were always looking to have more then just 1-2 creative players in the starting 11. Because of that it will be good for him to stay at Atalanta or goes at some point to another club which has more a traditional working mentality.

[@leonardobelli6221]

He is an extremely underrated coach, great man oriented pressing mixed with vertical positional play inspired by dutch football, he definitely deserves to win a trophy.

Guys, do u realize that atalanta has similar formation and tactic with leverkusen? 3421/3412 it will be interesting UEL final. Lets discuss it more

[@GuyJames]

his situation is a bit like that of De Zerbi at Brighton - he's capable of beating almost anyone but is also capable of losing to almost anyone on a bad day - which is why really big teams can't take the chance. If you lose 3 in a row at Brighton, it's not that big a deal. If you do that at Man U, you are heading for the exit pretty soon. I could see Gasperini at somewhere like West Ham, but I understand if he wants to stay where he is

[@teomate14s]

[@miguelporras8366]

Alonso took a lot from him. Bayer press man to man in the final half and zonal in their half. Bayer use the wing to wing movement that Gasperini trademarked. Bayer also uses the positional interchange in attacking phase, though Grimaldo is more of a crosser, whilst Gosens (for example) was more of an incursore. Also a difference in playmaking. Alonso uses Xhaka, who builds from deep, and Gasperini relies on AMF playmakers (Ilicic, Gomez, Malinovski, Miranchuk or Koopmeiners)

[@gavunku]

Gasp had 1 chance at inter after benitez in 2011, so tbh i think it is better for him to end his carreer at atalanta and become immortal there. Although the bergamo team does not have the money to truly contend with the bigs of italy in the last few years their spending power has improved, just take scamacca as an example, which had inter interested to buy. I am glad gasp gets the recognition he deserves. He is the main reason the 3 man defensive line had a resurgence in the last decade. While both conte and inzaghi have their own interpretation of the structure and have achieved more with it, the one that made it viable in the modern meta is him. In fact in 2011 he got the inter gig because his 352 at genoa was as tough to deal with as atalanta is nowadays, sadly the results at inter were poor. And i also remember that conte was on the verge of being sacked when he tried the 352 at juve, in 2012. As for inzaghi, his preferred structure was the 433 in his early days at lazio, he fell on the 352 for balance in 2016/17. He basically is the grandpa of the 352

Gasp is 66 and I think that if he wins a cup, he's gonna retire. His work in Atalanta will be remembered for ages to come, a man who could pick a guy who paid 1,5 million (Gosens) and sold it for 30 for his improvements over the years. Gasperini has been the top manager in improving players of this generation.

I don’t think it’s as clear cut. Liverpool’s best players have had medical issues, stress and struggle with inconsistency towards the end of the season these last few years. Leverkusen is a great pressing team as well. The only issue is that Gasperini is one of the most adaptable manager in world football at the moment in spite of his age, and you just don’t know what’s coming.

[@vascocruz66]

Amazing video mate, of a team who’s indeed very difficult to characterise as they vary so much! I think maybe something that you could have included is their “external” buildup: often Ederson and De Roon would open up wide in the flanks, with the wing backs pushing forward, which depending on the opposition’s formation could force them to either press and leave huge gaps, or suffer from their passing ability (for example with those more direct balls for players up front). This + their external CBs passing capacity makes it really hard to press Atalanta. Their buildup in the matches vs Sporting are a good example. But again, great job in analyzing Gasperini’s work this season!

Maybe now coaches will check with you first before they set up their game strategy. The final was a master class of Gasperini... a true veteran of the sport... and you propose a very insightful question.... Would his tactics work with one of the big well-established teams or is it only for teams that fluctuate players every season? It seems Casperini's tactics would work with a national team. Is he ready for AC Milan or Juventus? The best soccer is where coaches are free to dream without any pressure from executives. Big teams do not allow that.

[@Shteno]

Gasperini's been implementing & successfully developing this ultra offensive football style for many more years than just these 8 seasons with LA Dea! Most evident was with Genoa, when he took them to 4th place and gave them UCL season, more than 10 years ago. He's one of the main reasons (along with coaches like Sarri, Zeman...) who spawned many Italian coaches who play very offensively in Serie A, from Juric to Motta and. who knows how. many more in between, which made the unimaginable real = to. convert Serie A (and Italian football in general) from strictly defensive minded (and slow and. boring) into one of the most offensive and goal prolific leagues in these 10 years! And the things he's been doing with Atalanta, makes. me wanna answer ur question from the end of the video right away - I'd love to see him be at the helm of La Dea for many more years. Not just that he converted them into goal scoring machine, but also be great entertainers - I've yet to see an Atalanta match that's boring, even in those rare occasions when it finishes 0-0. And he's been present in Europe all the time (either UCL, or EL) with great success, sometimes even crushing teams with many scored goals. And all of that, with selling some of the best players each summer Mercato, but for huge amounts of money, which allows them. to reinvest. And along with their brilliant academy (one of the top 3 in Europe for years now), their scouting system is nearly perfect, so they always invest those money cleverly.. Just look at the last Mercato. They made over 100 millions by selling (majority was from 75 +10 for Hojlund), and then bought 3, or 4 new players for around 80 to 85 millions. As you've said it, his ability to improve the players, to raise their level of game and take out 110% of their talent & potential, is simply stunning (that's why I was saying that Hojlund needed at least 1 more season in La Dea shirt, possibly 2, to turn into a world. class striker, before going to Man-U, a club that puts its players down, ON A REGULAR BASIS - 90+% of their players start playing bad and getting worse when they get in that team). Last Mercato, when he decided to get Dr Katelare, I "knew" that he would. turn him. back to his best, but when he decided to buy Scamacca, I was so skeptical, thinking: "Why would Atalanta splash 35 million like that on a player who was quite unsatisfactory in West Ham - although I knew he played the 1at half of the season with constant injury, and then went on under a knife... - and during New Year, he was the same in Atalanta as he was in West Ham. But ever since January, and especially last 2+ months, he turned into a beast who can't stop scoring! And that's one more proof that Gasperini is maestro of a coach. So, I'd love to watch him keep on doing this (although I'm. aware that if he was doing that in Napoli, Milan, Juve... and those type of. clubs in England, Germany... he would've get many rewards.) He doesn't get constant chances to fight for trophies (that's why I'd love to see him this Wednesday lifting the Coppa Italia trophy, and as he said, the most important - EL vs Leverkuzen), maybe he'll never win a Scudetto, but surely, one day his statue will be present at Gewiss, Atalanta's new, renivated beautifully stadium!

I don't think Pioli has changed so much in these 2-3 years and this season has been good IMHO.

2018 19 maybe his peak periods. .They are superior to juve and inter napoli even though juve won some scudetto but Atalanta are a handfullZapata,Papu gomez,illicic muriel and gosen all were firing ...romero bought from juve work well for them...Illcic is one of a kind player ... underrated

[@shengyi1701]

Xabi has to study this and get leverkusen to score early and not concede to them. If Germans can get one of Atalanta players sent off, we will see his system in its last gasp. Xabi won’t make the same mistake as Liverpool

[@wayneverhoff2790]

Do Hoeneb's Stutgart next

[@ahmadfarisgani2755]

He reminds me of lucien favre of gladbach not long time ago when marco reus was his starman

[@jaden_shah]

Great analysis, but we both know none of this will matter when they play Leverkusen :p P.S. Your video editing never fails to impress. Loved the new angle on the tactics board!

[@BIazy]

yeah, Leverkusen is just a squad with better players. Atalanta's slow defense is gonna suffer Frimpong a lot unless they play in a low block

[@FootballMeta]

Thank you mate! 💪🏻

[@nomanshaikh7942]

Bro please make video about pep and does pep evolve also

[@user-pw6hx8wf9n]

How was Atalanta's formation against Leverkusen ?🤔

[@iraqlobster7678]

Leverkusen was completely shutdown to say the least.

[@MatheusSouza-li4jf]

A long time ago he coached Inter, but it didn't work out. I think this puts off bigger clubs when considering him for coach.

[@BIazy]

he joined Inter in the worst time in our history.

[@LucavonFalkenberg]

Leverkusen fans here, come to check out the opponent :) Gasperini once took charge internazionale, no? but i guess he is that kind of manager needs quite a lot permission to shape and design the team.

[@rspjfrost1400]

A manager have long admired and baffled as to why no clubs go for him. Clubs just outside rich 7 Prem should go for him as very few coaches take teams from mud lower table into top 4-7 and then maintain it over several seasons. Eg De Zerbi now not replicating success .

[@andjelkozlotvor]

He’s Atalanta’s Ferguson or Simeone. He created this club and put it on the football map. La Dea is his lifework and he should stay in Bergamo forever. PS. F**k PL!

[@giftedkelvin5609]

This is also similar to Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace Tactics

[@hopegodwinusman1845]

Not really

[@TheFatherOfGod87]

Atalanta made Leverkusen like a big joke.

[@derhenne2730]

I'm really interested to see how well this works against leverkusen. I unfortunately expect leverkusen to exploit that risky style of play

[@kaydavis680]

It will be a close tie because they both use three at the back

[@BIazy]

@@kaydavis680 not really because Leverkusen has a generally higher level of players even if the tactis are similar. also Atalanta's defense is VERY slow so it's gonna be tough to defend the likes of Frimpong

[@kaydavis680]

All i know is Leverkusen have to be in their very best because Liverpool too have fast player and fail to score pass a goal in both leg

[@nafaareda2282]

Gaspirini already made Atlanta a big club no need to move

[@Racist373]

I wanna play for gasperini i think i can fit his system with my play style

[@matteoenricocattaneo]

I don’t know…I just know he will remain in Bergamo until the end of his career…

[@TheSealDribble]

He shouldnt manage a bigger club, just let him build a legacy at Atalanta. Its beautiful to watch.

[@dark_voiid]

Arne Slot video when?
