Compared to the beautiful home win over Napoli, Empoli have definitely taken at least one step back. And not just because he didn’t bring home a single point from his trip to Bergamo. The match against Atalanta was already tough on paper, but this time the Azzurri were unable to show the competitive ferocity they admired against the Neapolitans. As mentioned, this was not the pitch the Azzurri were called upon to score points on, but something better could have been built in terms of play and intensity. Serry’s injury deprived Nichol of an additional decision in attack, given that Niang is a player who is still undecided for ninety minutes. Tactically, Serry’s presence would be important because it would allow the team to step up and rest on the shoulders of a more physical centre-forward. Niang has different characteristics and was unable to damage the Nerazzurri’s defensive strength.
