« on: June 02, 2024, 05:49:06 PM »Yes, you are right, Atalanta succeeded in making Leverkusen's strategy or game not go well, this happened because Atalanta already knew Leverkusen's weaknesses and they succeeded in implementing a strategy that ultimately allowed them to win.We will never know what was going through Xabi's head and what he was thinking, but what is clear is that he made a decision like that. In my opinion, it is impossible for Xabi to underestimate Atalanta, because he is a former player who certainly knows the situation when he is on the field.
This is a lesson for him for the future, if we only look at his defeat, then of course this is not something good, but there must be something that Xabi takes from this defeat.
What I think about this is that Atalanta knew how to read Xabi's strategy and did not give him time to rectify, look for errors, and in the middle of the game he could not change his strategy because there was already a corresponding formation, it is practically impossible for the things can happen like that, personally I think that Xabi didn't say that he underestimated them or that he underestimated him, it's just that Atalanta knew what to do, they studied Xabi's games very well and they went for it and won, sometimes in January In football, things happen like this, there can be very good players, a very good coach and apart from that if luck is not on your side, this type of things can happen.
Their motivation in this match is also very high, so it is a good capital for Atalanta to be able to play optimally. Maybe they want to show that Leverkusen can still be beaten.
Well, one thing I like about this Europa League is that Atalanta has its direct pass to the UCL, because Leverkusen is already over-confident, so on the side that had to win to be in the UCL, Atalanta seems excellent to me, plus Leverkusen has nothing to prove, easy in the new season of the Bundesliga, win or lose, they have already shown the great level they have, they already demonstrated their great power in Germany and that is one of the things that many have wanted to see and Xabi did it, and Bayer fans know it and are grateful.
