Atalanta's Wing Attack in Round 4: A Comprehensive Analysis
Atalanta's wing attack is one of the most exciting aspects of their game, and it was on full display in Round 4 against AC Milan. The team's two wingers, Luis Muriel and Blerim Dzemaili, combined for five goals and four assists in just over 120 minutes of play.
Muriel, who has been in fine form this season, scored twice in just under an hour of play. His first goal came in the 68th minute when he capitalized on a poor clearance by AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The second goal came in the 77th minute, as Muriel took advantage of a loose ball to beat Donnarumma from close range.
Dzemaili, meanwhile, also had a big impact on the match. He assisted on both of Atalanta's goals in the first half, scoring the opener himself in the 15th minute before setting up Simone Zaza with a brilliant through-ball in the 39th minute.
The duo's performances were further highlighted by their ability to create chances for each other. They often linked up in the final third, with Muriel providing the pace and Dzemaili providing the service. Their partnership was instrumental in Atalanta's victory, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to develop together throughout the season.
