The goalkeeping situation in Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta football club is reaching a critical point, according to an in-depth analysis by Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport. The paper pointed to goalkeeper Carnesecchi as one of the reasons for Atalanta’s recent defeat against Bologna.
Atalanta’s alternative to Musso is seen as the future for the club, but his uncertain performance during a decisive moment in a corner kick has drawn significant criticism. So far, Gasperini has chosen to deploy the Italian goalkeeper seven times and the Argentinian ten times in the league. Will this careful balancing act between two players in such a crucial role continue?
The Italian sports daily quoted, “The goalkeeper issue is at risk of an impasse”. However, it remains to be seen how Gasperini, widely regarded as an experienced strategist, will manage this complex scenario.
