Round 4 of the 2021-22 Serie A season has come to a close, and Atalanta is now looking ahead to their next match against Roma at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. The team will be hoping to build on their impressive performance in round four, which saw them defeat Udinese and Sassuolo.
One key strength that Atalanta possess is their ability to create scoring opportunities. In round four, they were able to do this by exploiting gaps in the opposition defense and capitalizing on set-pieces. This was evident in their victory over Udinese, where they scored three goals from set-pieces. They also had a number of shots on goal, with key players such as Josip Ilicic and Martin Hinteregger creating chances for themselves and others.
Another key strength that Atalanta have is their defensive solidity. In round four, they managed to keep two clean sheets, thanks in part to their solid backline. They also showed resilience when defending against counterattacks, holding onto possession and waiting for the right moment to attack.
However, there are some areas where Atalanta could improve. One area where they may need to work on is their passing game. While they did well in round four, they struggled against Udinese and Sassuolo, who pressed high up the pitch and made it difficult for Atalanta to play out of possession. They will need to work on their communication and decision-making in these situations if they want to continue playing at a high tempo.
Overall, Atalanta's tactical strategy in round four was effective, but there is still room for improvement. With a strong performance against Roma on Sunday, they can build on their success and continue to challenge for honours in the league.
