The midfield duel between Gagliardini and Kessié will be the decisive one in today’s game against Atalanta. “The ex-Atalanta player has become a key figure in Pioli’s system, especially when it comes to recover possession early. Gasperini has tought him well. He is the most intelligent player for distributing the ball, he enters the box and runs the most. It seemed like Atalanta was weakened a lot by the Gagliardini transfer but in Freuler, Gasperinin has found an excellent substitute and Kessié seems to be indispensable” – according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
