translated from Spanish: Neither Dybala nor Cristiano: Papu Gomez, Player of the Month in Serie A Italy

For a couple of seasons, Atalanta has become the sensation team of the world outside the giants of Europe. The working base and conviction of Gian Piero Gasperini, who opted for a renewal of the classic Italian style, led to the Bergamo club being a threat to Juventus and also in the Champions League, where he entered the quarter-finals. Inside the court, the figures are several ranging from Colombians Muriel and Zapata, to the appearances of Ilicic, De Roon, Djimsiti, Hateboer, but all eyes are placed on the captain and number 10 of the team that carries a récrod of assists in this edition of Serie A, Alejandro “Papu” Gómez.
Sarandí and San Lorenzo’s former Arsenal found his place with absolute freedoms on the field, which took him to the Argentina national team and made him an idol of an Atalanta who now “misked” to fight well up for the first time in its history. Saving the differences and titles, Gasperini’s revolution was compared by what was achieved in Maradona’s Napoli in that transformation from boy to medium. Now, going back to Serie A, the numbers back up that work. In 33 games, the Bergamo club scored 93 goals, a record of almost 3 goals per game, and in the last weekend danced to Juventus in Turin, but failed to win for those football injustices. Still, with five dates to go, he doesn’t get out of the fight.
The football stop got a lot of teams into trouble, where the big losers were Lazio and Inter, but in Atalanta it wasn’t. From that time, he played eight matches achieving seven wins and the aforementioned tie, and much of that June push was thanks to “Papu” Gómez.That’s why Serie A decided to present him the award for the best player of the month of June, in a new recognition to the task achieved in this period. Neither the impequered return of Paulo Dybala nor the goals of Cristiano Ronaldo could with the importance of the “10” bergamo, which continues to speak.
