Percassi Reveals Atalanta's Bold Strategy in Supercoppa Clash Against Inter
Atalanta's CEO, Luca Percassi, recently opened up about the team's surprising tactical changes ahead of their Supercoppa Italiana showdown against Inter Milan in Riyadh. The match, scheduled for January 3, 2025, marks a significant moment for the club, as they face off with the defending champions, Inter, in what promises to be an exciting contest.
Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has made some unexpected alterations to his usual lineup for this crucial match. The most notable of these changes is the inclusion of Giorgio Scalvini in a more advanced midfield role. This move marks a shift from his traditional defensive position, showcasing Gasperini's intent to surprise and disrupt Inter’s well-established rhythm. Additionally, Nicolò Zaniolo will take on the role of a False 9, supported by Marco Brescianini and Lazar Samardzic, two players who have consistently impressed when given the opportunity.

Percassi shed light on these changes, explaining that the team’s intent was to create a more competitive squad. “The coach decided to give some space to different lads from the usual line-up, but they have all done well every time they’ve been called into action,” said Percassi. He added that the club is fully aware of the challenge posed by Inter, but they are determined to put in a strong performance. This match holds a lot of weight for Atalanta, who, despite facing one of the best teams in Italy, aim to show their quality and commitment on the pitch.
Although Atalanta's impressive victory in the Europa League last season secured their place in the Supercoppa, they are in the competition as runners-up in the Coppa Italia, having lost to Juventus in the final. Currently sitting atop the Serie A standings, they find themselves in a position where they can truly challenge the best, with a squad that’s shown resilience and adaptability. Percassi emphasized the summer transfer window's objective of building a competitive squad that could go toe-to-toe with the top teams, which has paid off so far.
“We are well aware of our dimension, but we know we must fight in every game to give our best,” Percassi concluded. As Atalanta looks to build on their successes and challenge for more silverware, this Supercoppa clash will serve as a test of their ambition and ability to compete at the highest level.
As the match draws closer, the excitement is palpable. Atalanta’s bold strategy and revamped lineup could prove pivotal in their bid to upset Inter and claim the coveted Supercoppa title. It’s a game that fans and pundits alike are eagerly anticipating, as both teams prepare to leave it all on the field in pursuit of glory.
