The former Fiorentina player Francesco Flachi spoke to Radio Bruno during the Pentasport to comment on the Viola’s defeat againstAtalanta in Italian Cup. The former footballer asks himself a question about the final minutes, i.e. whether it wouldn’t have been better for Italiano to try to take the match to penalties instead of continuing to attack with 10 men in the final minutes. Below is his thoughts.
Bergamo lacked maturity
Bergamo perhaps lacked maturity. Football is wonderful because it is unpredictable but raising the center of gravity so much in the ninetieth and tenth is pure self-harm. Going into extra time you could have had those 10 minutes to recover and reorganize your ideas. For Fiorentina it was a point in favor. Aside from the coach, there was also a lack of experience and awareness of the players on the pitch. They could have positioned themselves differently in marking in order to better stem the counterattacks
This is Furio Valcareggi’s thoughts on Atalanta-Fiorentina
Atalanta destroyed Fiorentina, also because they have a champion like Scamacca up front. The Viola don’t have a player like that up front, so there’s no point beating around the bush or blaming the referee, there was no match. I liked how Comuzzo entered the game, I think he has character
Italiano’s words at the end of the game are not good
It’s not good that Italiano starts off at the end of the match by saying that we would definitely have lost in extra time and that it would therefore be better to attack them until the end. In the first years, with Percassi in command, Atalanta fought not to be relegated, then they entrusted themselves to competent people and the results are there for all to see
