"Sorry the delay," seems to be the message that Atalanta sends to Europe of football after an absence of 26 years. A strong and clear message, but above all unexpected for the rough and almost "rough" way, with which Wayne Rooney's blazoned Everton remarks over with three goals on the "big bang." Replayed by the Mapei Stadium - Tricolor City of Reggio Emilia the European adventure of orobics, to which UEFA had denied the home stage, believing the Bergamo stadium inadequate to host international competitions. It certainly changes something at the field factor level, but not so much, since atlanta fans will be at least 14.000 who will support maintaining the very high decibels, the Nerazzurri on the stadiums of the Emilia Stadium. Even Everton would not have to be ready for such an aggressive opponent who outraged the English thanks to the networks of Masiello, Gomez and Cristante for a historic 3-0 that launches the Dea ahead of the group ahead of Apollon and Lyon closing the match inaugural with the result of 1-1. Atalanta is teamed up with the proven 3-4-1-2. In Petagna and Gomez the task of defeating Victor's defense, Cristante acts behind the attack couple, Hateboer and Castagne are outside while in the middle there is De Roon and Freuler. In front of Berisha there are Toloi, Palomino and Masiello. Koeman. The British respond with a 4-4-1-1 with Vlasic in support of Calvert-Lewin. Rooney and Sigurdsson outdoor. The Atalanta re-proposes the game that had allowed it during the last year to establish itself as the best surprise of the season, surprisingly closed immediately behind the huge finals in the Champions League. Great pressures, first-hand action and high-ball recovery, do not allow the Everton to reason and arrange an adequate counter-offensive, in fact, except for two attempts by the British, before with a shot from outside Sigurdsson rejected by Berisha and then with a lob attempted by Rooney with the ball ending high on the crossbar, the rest of the dangerous actions is only nerazzurri. Freuler and Cristante wall mounted at the last moment, Masiello who at 26 ° minute, seriously commits near distance the opposing goalkeeper Stekelenburg who somehow manages to divert the conclusion. Nevertheless Stekelenburg can always be Maiello who in the next corner, favored by a pair of shots in the opponent's area, deposited on the net. At this point Everton finally disappears from the field and Atalanta becomes uncontrollable. Actions from both bands disorient the British who fail to invoke a valid defense at bergamasque forcing that at 41 ° finds the 2-0 thanks to Papu Gomez that explodes for the second time the present Bergamas people. For 3-0 you will only have to wait for another 3 minutes. At 44 ° in fact, Petagna snaps into counterattack, assisting in the Cristante area that he realizes with a landing on the opposite pole. The second time is played because it is expected to be played, but apart from Rooney's attempt at the start of the shooting, Everton ends the race and is Atalanta to touch the 4 goal several times with Petagna, the Papu Gomez and Freuler.
