Atalanta was imposed this Sunday at home Hellas Verona (0-1) thanks to a goal from the Dutchmans Teun Koopmeiners, who, with a powerful and tight kick from outside the area, sealed his team’s second victory after three days of Serie A.
With this victory, Atalanta is placed in the top positions of the classification, still undefeated.

However, the feeling projected by the group led by the Italian Gian PieroGasperini It is that of a team without a spark, that finds it difficult to reach the rival area and that, when it does, does not have clear ideas to materialize.
An even match against Verona, which is not having a good start to the campaign so far.
With two defeats and a draw, they are sixteenth in the table, although they have faced two superior rivals such as Atalanta and Napoli.
Without too many chances for both teams, Koopmeiners jumped on the scene as his Ukrainian teammate already did Ruslan Malinovsky last day against Milan: with a long shot.
Colombians, on the play
And it seems that this will be one of the most recurrent solutions of Gasperini’s ‘Dea’ due to his lack of depth and occasions. Reasons are not lacking, of course.
With players with shots of such quality as the Ukrainian or the Dutch, it is a more than valid resource, although it does not seem like the eternal solution to the problems of this Atalanta.
Verona was close to equalizing through Serbian Darko Lazovic, who crashed a shot into the crossbar with half an hour to go in what were the best moments of a local team, which fought until the end to score.
The Colombians Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel, today’s starter and substitute, respectively, did not have the expected weight in attack, always too alone or far from danger, accusing the crisis of the game that the Bergamo team is going through, which at the moment solves based on distant shots, but when they were in advantage helped to preserve the victory.
Despite everything, Atalanta will sleep this day in Champions League positions, while Verona urgently needs a victory to change the negative dynamic in which they find themselves.
