How One Manager Finally BROKE Alonso's Tactics

If leverkusen and atalanta meet 5 times still atalanta will won 1 time.

Befok

This and Atalanta's first game vs Liverpool were two of the best defensive performances I've seen in a very long time.

Xabi got it all wrong though. From the back three, to not starting Andrich and ultimately for waiting until halftime to change things. Boniface should have entered the field way earlier.

man you are bonkers - I love it.

Their luck was gonna eventually run out
Mark my word they won't even be in top 4 in league this season

Basically Gaspeirini played good ol' man marking the full game, asking their players to give it all physically.
Very efficient on this game thanks to Lookman, but nothing revolutinary or excting about this "tactic".

This is a classical 343 / 352 Italy made formation dating from the days of Helenio Herrera's 60s Catennacio and Grande Inter, you could find very similar modern variants in Conte's and Allegri's Juve, Inzaghi's Inter and Lazio, Mazzari's Napoli, Gasp's Atalanta and moreover Motta's last year Bologna, Just watch Serie A and you'll see how this pressure game is often played, and how much the center backs and keepers are involved in the build-up, and attackers are in defense (that's why we're seeing less and less classical strikers in Italy), when applied correctly this formation can outperform the best teams in europe, such as done by Atalanta here, or by Inter the year before against teams such as Bayern, Barça and Man City, Fiorentina also made good back to back runs in conf league thanks to a similar setup, it was experimented by Spaletti against France and they won 3-1 in Paris, although the latter and mancini play in a more classical 4-3-3 formation, which is why they have been struggling in last few years.

one lossss, one loss and they lose it

Marco Rose: Hold my Jürgen

Atalanta was tough on leverkusen. It will also make leverkusen tough and learn their lesson

all Italian teams are tactically superior

huh?thats common sense right?if you have 3cb, you better man mark them or press them tight (yea yea, the stamina issue etc etc)
but, with enough preparations, they can train it well

Author was born yesterday? Gasperini plays like that for years.

Football science

Please can you do a tactical analysis on PSG’s First game of the season

He treid to do the same on real madrid,didnt end well as bellingham and valverde destroyed the opponents miedfield man marker

Arsenal: Hold my beer.

Yeah except West Ham should have beaten them, outplayed them tactically for the entire 90 minutes and only drew because of a deflection

eh eh, the italian magician uncovered Alonso´s bluff

giving no space and constant press from the deep mid probably turned the match

Alonso fell for the same error that the German national team keeps falling for many years, replacing a strong striker for a more agile one. It's not really in the team's DNA.

I love how a team who won 51 games lost once and everyone said they're done for. You cant always win bro like it just doesn't work like that its so dumb

AMERICANS talking about football it’s hilarious. Keep talking about baseball and stfu. 😂

Gasperini Found the new meta tactics

What people don't know is that Gasparini didn't sleep the night before. He was working on all possible tactics against Leverkusen. Even Atalanta was not this aggressive against Liverpool. But one thing I saw is that they were very patient in waiting for defensive mistakes to happen which they did.

A skillful player like.messi on leverkusen side would make this a goalfest for leverkusen..but unfortunately they didn't have any

Why everyone forgets about Garabag?

Teams is good with ball ---> don't make them play, easy

Thats why you meed Messi 😂

i think they should have just let the keeper get involved in the attacking or/and dribble more. Am I entirely wrong?

pls türkish

great stuff

to every genius there is an italian who laughs at him hahahha

You are overthinking this. Atalanta won because Lookman had a fantastic day.

In Italy we know Gasperini's tactics very well, the main component is his potions to make the player run for 90 min at maximum speed. This is the secret of Gasp the smallest man on earth

Gasperini has experience. Something Alonso lacks.

Lets be fair Leverkusen was unbeatbale because they had not face any quality side in those matches.And bayern was quiet uncertain in bundesliga.inter thrashed Atlanta 5-1 imagine if they face leverkusen it might be another 5-0 or even worse

I dont think that the tactics were the reason for this result. almost every leverkusen player was underperforming bad touches,inaccurate passes and bad defending

Honestly, I knew atalanta was going to win after the leverkusen roma match.

I think the starting eleven is not good. Play boniface. Italians teams are hard to break. They were physically strong as compared to other leagues.

GASPERINI said in 2012 that the future of football is man to man 90mins full pitch 10vs10

2nd season will be interesting…a lot of managers get sussed out and struggle in their 2nd season.

so basically he just went back to good old man on man defense

If he just gave them the ball everything will change

PLAY BONIFACE

Garabagh broke them twice, they just didn't have the stamina of their team. tactically Garabagh made them fall.

IMO the physical aspect was crucial in this final. Atalanta was 100%, Leverkusen not.

Serie A isn't for the weak, Seria A might be the only league where they have every kind of team with different playstyles

Man marking at it's best 🤝🫡
