Atalanta's tactical evolution under Maurizio Sarri

Maurizio Sarri is implementing a 4-3-3 tactical system at Atalanta, a transition that emphasizes gradual development and technical precision. A key component of this evolution is Gianluca Gaetano, who has successfully transitioned from a trequartista to a deep-lying playmaker (regista).

Gaetano, a player previously scouted by Sarri during his time at Napoli, has become a central figure in the midfield. His ability to dictate tempo, provide vision, and contribute to build-up play was notably demonstrated in recent performances, including an assist for Raspadori. While the team's tactical identity is still maturing, Gaetano's adaptation is seen as a vital element of Sarri's project in Bergamo.
