Gasperini puts players in a position and plays to their advantages, his most players are good strong respectful footballers. He just showed them how to be dangerous... They could be CL winners with a little luck. They outplayed Juventus tonight away. Italian teams don't do that. I love their football. Feels like every player knows why is he on the pitch...
I love any and all Serie A content you guys put out especially. I feel like it’s a league that garners less attention these days because it struggles to match people’s perception of it from the late-80s through to the early 00s. It is however a goldmine of wonderful tactical inventions, talented young players and intense fan/Ultras culture.
@@tjallingappelhof2055 Why would that be? It's rather the opposite. Juventus raises the bar for all the other teams in the league. And you wouldn't have Gasperini without Juventus ;)
@@Julian_orwell Because it raises the bar too high, it's an economical giant, with two teams, three if you count Juventus B, and even the top tier teams get very often lazy... and this has been going on for decades, even AC Milan, that won many Champions Leagues, used to play with reserves in Serie A, when they had dream teams. Of course, they have to be complimented, because they always managed to keep their budget in order, and were great into buying players that then become stars, like Pogba, but as an italian i became less and less interested in Serie A, since Juventus can make a season winning more than thirty games, and there is no team that won't have a couple bad days, even just for injured top players: just look their attack, they have Higuain, Dybala, Ronaldo, while even another big team, like AC Milan, could hardly afford only one of them (and it was a disaster). Juventus in Italy is... it's hard to explain, many people from little town go for Juventus since they have no team in Serie A, so there are 12 milions of Juve fans, but in the meantime all the others kinda hate them, because Juventus is not just a team of football, it's something with a story, bounded to the story of Italy, and sometimes darkly... there was a scandal with tricked games and corrupted referees, there was a scandal about them taking endovenose salts during half time, and they always never gave a fuck, buying out the best players, the heroes, of every little italian team... they even bought Baggio just before Italia 90, and with the italian training camp near Florence (from where Baggio was coming), was an asshole move... and what about FIAT, the cars made by Juventus owners? It's an anomaly of the italian economy, even by now, receiving money from the State while it's homed outside Italy, and ruled by Chrisler! All the presidents and families that tried to own a team in Serie A briefly failed, even after winning, but not Juventus, as FIAT can't fail or die...
An italian sport journalist, Gianni Brera, used to say that a game with many goals is a game in wich the teams defended themselves poorly, and that's the spirit of the italian football, order. As an italian, i remember really few occasions in wich a team played all out attack like that (and with such quality), maybe AC Milan, when Sacchi changed its shape.
@@darioildiario3001 you're mixing levels here, probably 'cause of your hatred towards the club, hence the biased judgment. The owners' business has little to do with the team and their sport achievements. If I start listing all the mischiefs of Milan and Inter's owners, we won't be finished by the morning. And mind, those clubs, unlike Juve, were poorly managed and often drawing money from other companies. As for the 'dark side' of Juve, what you report shows you're either terribly misinformed or riding the haters' wave. Either way, it would be a waste of time trying to talk some sense into you. Calciopoli's documents are largely public. Every 8-yo, with an average IQ, can read and understand what sort of scam that was. Oh since you mention Brera, one of the greats, don't forget to mention what Enzo Biagi said about that very just trial ;-)
I'm just speechless. To be able to design such unorthodox tactic, explain it to the team, & deliver superb results. Gasperini deserves manager of the season award
He needed 4 years, now you see the results because everything is working, but trust me unless you're a team that usually ends up with 10th, 12th, 8th you ain't got that patience, Gasperini went to Inter Milan in 2011, he lost against AC Milan in the Italian Supercup, and gained 3 knock-out in 4 matches with one being against a neopromoted team
I think Muriel is a very interesting and quality player, underrated in the team because everyone thinks of Ilicic and Zapata, his minutes per goal shows how good he is
Muriel is one of the best players I've ever seen playing in the last 20 or 25 minutes. Maybe the best player coming from the bench ever in Serie A. He is often a true crack in the second half. And he is also one of the closest players to Ronaldo R9 I've ever seen (even if only in those last 25 minutes).
Another key element to Atalanta's success I would add is their surprising strength in depth, particularly in attack. It says a lot that the team's top scorer in the league this year, Luis Muriel, isn't even a starter. Muriel and Ruslan Malinovskyi usually come in with 20-30 minutes to go, and pick up exactly where any of Gomez, Ilicic, Zapata, or Pasalic left off. Same thing at wing-back, Timothy Castagne is supremely efficient and never seems to put a foot wrong when he comes on for either of Hateboer or Gosens. You can tell that the tactical training is intense enough that basically every sub becomes a supersub, everyone knows exactly what to do, what their role is, and how to work with the players that are already on the pitch. Muriel and Malinovskyi also have some absolute rocket launchers for feet. Combine that with excellent team play, organization, and the tendency to get attacking players in ridiculously ideal positions to score from, its really unsurprising that this team regularly racks up 5+ goals per game.
@@RealDUDization yeah that take my mind back to the good ol' 2012. And also when it comes to Brazilian other underrated wonderkids, like I wonder what happened to Renan Bressan of BATE Borisov. I knew that he switched to Belarusian national team. But he was seriously underrated back then. I wonder what happened to him these days.
I remember 10 years ago he was by far and away the best player of Goiás, the finalists my team beat to win the 2010 Sudamericana. Back then I thought he was obviously very good but never thought I'd keep seeing him play elite European football in 2020
anthony mazy Yeah I agree his early career was earmarked by his laziness but with Gasperini at helm he has improved in discipline luckily both of them have played at Fiorentina
@@gencij5175 Honestly at club level he is probably as good, maybe better than Lorik Cana. But he doesnt perform for the national team a lot, maybe Reja can turn this around.
It’s crazy how their transfer structure works, like this season they signed Malinovskiy for a joke fee and look how crucial that player is as a substitute and how fast he adapted to the attacking style they play. Genius
Czybora, Gosens, Hateboer and De Roon were all scooped up for peanuts at midtable Dutch teams. The men in charge have unbelievable eye for what they need.
I completely agree and that's with no real star man in the system. I would love to see a player like Messi in an Atalanta type team or even in Atalanta as the attacking midfielder his creativity and movement would be perfect for a team like them the only problem with Messi is his low work rate but if he works well I'm sure he could excel under the system, especially since he can run from deep with ease, can pass very quickly, can shoot with real danger and other qualities that would make him excel in this system.
@@allegeddevil1956 Yeah true haha. But honestly I have great respect for their manager for all he has achieved with his innovative style all while having no star player on his team.
Alleged Devil Not true. You Mist SSC Napoli from Sarri 2015-2016-2017-2018 they created much more than Atalanta today and scored the same amount of goals. They were the only Team that Played tiki taka with Goals out of this planet. 2015/16=106 Goals with Higuaíns Record of 36 Goals, 2016/17=115 Goals 2017/18=97 Goals
I think you overglossed on a crucial aspect of Atalanta's game: the man-to-man defense and the preventive marking (that lead to the good transition covers and the number of intercets). That's why physical fitness is key for Gasperini's side
You missed one trademark move explaining their success in counterattacks (as well as the exceptionally high number of goals by wingbacks). Atalanta always fills the box with 3 to 5 players with great runs from the two wingbacks and at least one central midfielder. Ideally, two central midfielder get the ball back, send one wingback up in the space available on the wing, while the other wing runs highon the other side and Gomez, Zapata or Ilicic offer lines for triangles to allow the wing to go even deeper with the ball. Normally this allows for a formation in which one wingback is able to cross or pass the ball from the side of the box and has a striker (Zapata or Ilicic) on the first post, Gomez or a central midfielder waiting outside the box for a long shot from ideal position, the second stricker that moves towards the penalty spot and the second wingback that arrives on the second post. This filling of all areas in and outside the box make it almost impossible to defend without huge ccordination. Atalanta players are so used to this scheme that they execute it almost flawlessly in movement, the only variable to success being the quality of the pass from the winger which is often physically tested by the big runs. For a demonstration, go see the two matches against Valencia. They used this scheme all the time (Hateboer's goal was a variation on it). In Seria A as well.
Most significant is that many of the players are unknown & that's the recipe to create chemistry among players rather than using superstars in the team. I would love to see a match between Leipzig(who also play with 3 at back) & Atlanta if the UCL resumes🤗
Finally! I'm glad you made this video 😁⚽️. Gasperini and Atalanta have been a revelation in Serie A over the last 4 years. Their football is beautiful and elegant to watch. It is truly impressive how each of their players compliments each other seamlessly. I still believe this Atalanta team can take it to the next level and win the Serie A in the future. Maybe even pull of a Leicester City and win the Champions League ☺
As you said Atalanta is improving year by year, winning the title would be a very different story from Leicester. I think that they are even a better team than that Leicester, but they haven't been as lucky with big clubs all performing badly in the same season.
It's amazing how they play fluidly on the pitch, and yet how difficult actually is to grasp their tactics. Atalanta is Italian football's proud! Thank you for the great video!
The fact they had a nickname "The Goddess" themselves is the moment that i wish to see this club have a success like there's no tomorrow and this is coming from an Arsenal fan
Can we maybe get a Stade de Reims tactics video, they've had one of Europe's best defences, it would be interesting to see how Guion gets the best out of the impressive defensive personnel he has.
The explanation of these tactics are amazing. These can be very helpful for upcoming managers of the beautiful game. Can you do a video maybe explaining the requirements for becoming a manager? That'll be helpful. P.S. It's a retirement plan. Might come handy. Amazing work though.
Such requirements really differ depending on the nation (conf) you want to manage in, but broadly speaking if you ever played Football Manager and remember asking your board to fund your coaching license, these are universally required to manage anywhere in Europe. So for basically any top tier division you'll need to hold UEFA Pro license as a manager or at least UEFA A license as an assistant and lower qualifications licesnses are required to work at lower levels. Such licenses are universally recognized and can be acquired in any national confederation you prefer regardless of your citizenship. Most courses will last month or few, though Pro licenses take around 9.
Francisco Javier Sanchez Campos who ares about FIFA, the guy was talking about a serious game not an Arcade Game which utilizes Gambling addiction of 13 year olds
no disrespect to Sheffield, but i don't think they'd have much of a chance against a team who has scored 7 goals on three occasions this season who play in the league with the the highest defensive sophistication in the world
Those are some creative tactics...much praise to the manager and the players well done! I wasn't expecting Atalanta to be a great team this season I'm impressed...
well it’s not even far away from the english word. Maybe it’s etymologically related. don’t know though because i’m really not familiar with the evolution of swahili
I also agree. As a matter of fact I think the last time I had Atalanta losing a match was way back in January. They won't win the Serie A right now but there's a chance they can become a serious force in the Champions league as well as Serie A beginning this season. Gasperini should be the next Liverpool coach. Let them do away with Klopp.
This is not a flash in the pan season, this has been the result of the foundation set in the last five years by Atalanta. I doubt that any big team like Barcelona would be patient enough with Gasperini. He has already failed at Inter.
@Alex Kanyima they were patient with him, gave him the players he wants. For a system like this to work, the entire club from top to bottom has to trust the manager
@@abhinandukanil3415 He failed at inter because Inter had the mentality of Mourinho that time which is defensive and Gasperini game is attack. The tactic of Gasperini would work for Barcelona because they play attack
I like their build up. The perfect balance between building action from behind and long balls. Many ways to rotate players in different matches that manipulate the opponent. They do many things differently than other teams. Just nice to look at.
Atalanta has really proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the modern serie a situation. Their UCL campaign looks really promising and may be the underdog story of this season similar to the Ajax side of last season or Monaco' side a couple of years ago.
Atalanta (Dea) (Goddess) is part of Greek mythology, The myth tells that Atalanta's father wanted a boy, and at the birth of her, as was the custom in these cases, he abandoned her on Mount Pelio. Artemis then sent a bear, who took care of it by nursing and raising it. Some time later Atalanta was found by a group of hunters who raised it. Her propensity for hunting manifested itself early when she faced and killed with the bow the centaurs Ileo and Reco who had tried to rape her. So the name of this team is a whole program, they go hunting for opponents
atalanta always plays a diamond shape on both side of the pitch with the ball leading them to fast paced passes that eventually will result in a gol. during their game this is so noticeable yet no one can stop them, they always score 5-6-7 goals with this tactics. gasperini pure genius
Their ability to create overloads in the centre but remain in shape at the same time, especially against sides that defend deep is crazy. I can see some similarities Atalanta share with Sheffield United.
Da tifoso atalantino nato a Bergamo sono così orgoglioso di leggere così tanti commenti positivi su questa squadra che è davvero formidabile. Grazie a tutti.
Fantastic analysis. Another aspect to consider is the good depth of the squad... for example the video didn't even cover Muriel, Castagne, and Malinovskiy -- all of whom have contributed a lot this season. Also amazing is how deep Gomez is now dropping within this scheme ... for example in the July 2 match v Napoli he was almost in a Pirlo role at times!!
Atalanta truly is one of the most exciting teams right now and I'm constantly amazed by the sheer consistency they perform on a high level with. Also, that team isn't exactly following the trend of always signing young players to mold them into a certain system, but the only criteria seems to be "does he fit into our team's chemistry and is he tactically smart?" rather than age. This shows in Atalanta's mean age of the starting eleven, most are 25 or above and possibly that's why they manage to keep their team together - no club seems to look at them like a shopping window for young, talented players, as an investment so to speak. On the one hand, that alongside international football is what keeps this team together. On the other hand, that could prove fatal as soon as Ilicic (32) and Gomez (32) experience a performance dip due to age. Atalanta will have to continue acing their transfers - low transfer sums for well fitting players
Some Random Edgy Guy you’re more than right, but the Sport Director has been already signing very good players in those positions (such as Malinosvkyi) and fortunately we have a very good academy which can provide us good players like Traore (2002) who’s already scored in this year’s serie A
This is so crazy it’s like organized chaos
looks a bit like total football

your visual has been improved. im impressed!
Okay, now how do I coach my players to emulate the ref in FM?
There is a YT channel who likes to change te default setting of the teams in FiFA 20 in order to emulate te real life playstyle.
@@FranJav507 who is that? I would like to know.
Francisco Javier Sanchez Campos who ares about FIFA, the guy was talking about a serious game not an Arcade Game which utilizes Gambling addiction of 13 year olds
@@basti2955 your fun at parties
RDF recreated it a while ago, check it out
The most fascinating and most educational analysis I've ever seen so far and it's also a ton of fun. Thanks brother!
would be a good time to cover what's going wrong with Atalanta this season
Kudos tifo, you guys are the best in football tactics..
Man I’ve been waiting on this for weeks!! Been trying to play like them on fm!!
TIFO, this is your most captivating video so far. This was fascinating. I loved every moment of it.
Atalanta vs Sheffield United would be joy to watch
Unconventional..
Actually I think they’d nullify each other a bit
Next season's Champions League final
no disrespect to Sheffield, but i don't think they'd have much of a chance against a team who has scored 7 goals on three occasions this season who play in the league with the the highest defensive sophistication in the world
Astro Not Atalanta destroyed Valencia like it was nothing I don't think Sheffield would be a problem.
Those are some creative tactics...much praise to the manager and the players well done! I wasn't expecting Atalanta to be a great team this season I'm impressed...
yes..they remind me of Monaco of 2016-17..
The greatest videos on TH-cam.
Great video! Best explanation of Atalanta’s tactics so far. Cheers m8!
Tifo, please go back to these videos! I love them!
I am here after their so deserved win in the europa league
Congrats to atalanta!
Their long-term project has finally rewarded them
That team was so interesting to watch
I think I'd like my club playing like them
The best tactics analysis about Atalanta I've heard so far. Great job, thank you from Italy!
The improvement in animation quality is insane man. Great vid tifo
Hey Tifo , Please make a Video on Louis Van Gaal's Ajax . 🙏🙏
And also LVG's Man Utd back in 2015
And LVG's Barca and Bayer Munich
talanta means talent in swahili...
just thought id leave that there
Apo sawa 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
well it’s not even far away from the english word. Maybe it’s etymologically related. don’t know though because i’m really not familiar with the evolution of swahili

I’ve been waiting for an in-depth video about their tactics. Thanks for making this.
I swear if gasperini had a squad like Barca he'd surely won champions league
I also agree. As a matter of fact I think the last time I had Atalanta losing a match was way back in January. They won't win the Serie A right now but there's a chance they can become a serious force in the Champions league as well as Serie A beginning this season. Gasperini should be the next Liverpool coach. Let them do away with Klopp.
not necessarily, managing superstars is an entirely different job i feel like
This is not a flash in the pan season, this has been the result of the foundation set in the last five years by Atalanta. I doubt that any big team like Barcelona would be patient enough with Gasperini. He has already failed at Inter.
@Alex Kanyima they were patient with him, gave him the players he wants. For a system like this to work, the entire club from top to bottom has to trust the manager
@@abhinandukanil3415 He failed at inter because Inter had the mentality of Mourinho that time which is defensive and Gasperini game is attack. The tactic of Gasperini would work for Barcelona because they play attack
One of the best football related channels on TH-cam.
Ever since I started following siria A I have rooted for this team
Damn Tifo keeping us up to date
This animation is much better , Tifo
Great Analysis Alex and obviously Joe with his soothing voice
Great video as always from Tifo
I like their build up. The perfect balance between building action from behind and long balls. Many ways to rotate players in different matches that manipulate the opponent. They do many things differently than other teams. Just nice to look at.
I was requested for this.
Great video af! 🔥
Alejandro Gomez🔥🔥🔥
💔😔it ended in tears
This reminds me so much about Johan Cruyffs’ total football
Really enjoyed this!... thanks for the great content 👌🏽
Get the ball to Zapata
the most impressive thing about him is that he was injured for a great part of the season and still he managed to score 11 goals
Or to BIG PAPA GOMEZ
@@paolo3964 that's not nice
@@benardboateng8291 my comment was badly written, I didnt mean to say that it's good he was injured, now I corrected it
been waiting for this! FORZA ATALANTA
Atalanta's tactics remind me of me when I was a noob on FootballManager.
Great to finally see a video on gasperrini and atalanta
Atalanta has really proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the modern serie a situation. Their UCL campaign looks really promising and may be the underdog story of this season similar to the Ajax side of last season or Monaco' side a couple of years ago.
Sheffield United will stop them
The most entertaining team in Europe 🔥🔥
The video I’ve been waiting for
Atalanta (Dea) (Goddess) is part of Greek mythology, The myth tells that Atalanta's father wanted a boy, and at the birth of her, as was the custom in these cases, he abandoned her on Mount Pelio. Artemis then sent a bear, who took care of it by nursing and raising it. Some time later Atalanta was found by a group of hunters who raised it. Her propensity for hunting manifested itself early when she faced and killed with the bow the centaurs Ileo and Reco who had tried to rape her. So the name of this team is a whole program, they go hunting for opponents
Always nice to learn something new and hunting definetely fits them this season
@@leevihellman Atalanti(in Greek) was the goddess of running. And in the bagde of Atalanta she look like she is running
@@nerazuronerazuro4886
Error, she was a hunter also inquire why Greek mythology has always been the same for 2500 years
most complicated tifo video I've ever watched gasperini is a genius
I love the new graphics they’re using in this video
I was waiting for that one, thank you :)
As always amazing video, thanks Tifo! Alè Atalanta Alè 🖤💙
Guys your videos and analysis just get better and better. It's a bright light in a sporting world dominated by bias and flimsy arguments.
atalanta always plays a diamond shape on both side of the pitch with the ball leading them to fast paced passes that eventually will result in a gol. during their game this is so noticeable yet no one can stop them, they always score 5-6-7 goals with this tactics. gasperini pure genius
great animation. Kudos Tifo
Been waiting for this video for ages🤩🤩🤩
Their ability to create overloads in the centre but remain in shape at the same time, especially against sides that defend deep is crazy. I can see some similarities Atalanta share with Sheffield United.
After watching their match against PSG in the UCL quarter finals, i have understood the video very well. Thank you Tifo
fantastic video thank you
Da tifoso atalantino nato a Bergamo sono così orgoglioso di leggere così tanti commenti positivi su questa squadra che è davvero formidabile. Grazie a tutti.
Great attacking breakdown. Would have liked to see more on how they defend
Fantastic analysis. Another aspect to consider is the good depth of the squad... for example the video didn't even cover Muriel, Castagne, and Malinovskiy -- all of whom have contributed a lot this season. Also amazing is how deep Gomez is now dropping within this scheme ... for example in the July 2 match v Napoli he was almost in a Pirlo role at times!!
Their style of play is so confusing but very effective
Now I see why they tend to score so many goals
Finally the video that I want. Thanks Tifo Football!
5:22 a subtle little plug there. I see you Tifo
Liverpool loves Atalanta's tactics
Berat Djimsiti its doing amazing this year. Really impressed by him
Best football channel 💪👍😘🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
This new format in this video is really impressive
More tactics explained videos please 👏🏼
Pasalic is one of the most underrated midfielders, in every club where he has played he was perfect
Nah malinoskyi is better than him
Forza Atalanta ! In CL we axpect at least semi-final,or even more :D. Greetings from AC MIlan fan.
Atalanta truly is one of the most exciting teams right now and I'm constantly amazed by the sheer consistency they perform on a high level with. Also, that team isn't exactly following the trend of always signing young players to mold them into a certain system, but the only criteria seems to be "does he fit into our team's chemistry and is he tactically smart?" rather than age. This shows in Atalanta's mean age of the starting eleven, most are 25 or above and possibly that's why they manage to keep their team together - no club seems to look at them like a shopping window for young, talented players, as an investment so to speak. On the one hand, that alongside international football is what keeps this team together. On the other hand, that could prove fatal as soon as Ilicic (32) and Gomez (32) experience a performance dip due to age. Atalanta will have to continue acing their transfers - low transfer sums for well fitting players
Some Random Edgy Guy you’re more than right, but the Sport Director has been already signing very good players in those positions (such as Malinosvkyi) and fortunately we have a very good academy which can provide us good players like Traore (2002) who’s already scored in this year’s serie A
Some gems for Indian Super League coaches, right here! 🔥🔥
Never been thinking that Gasperini will be so that good. Enjoying this side more than those that play sarriball.
Finally! Thanks @Tifo 😇
Been waiting for this forever
My God !!...I've waited at least a year for this video !
Oh wow I made a comment about tifo and Atalanta recently. Brilliant video lads
Opponents be like: someone mark the fuckin ref!
Thank you for the vid tifo :) could u pls do Lazio aswell? Solid 352
