Igor Shalimov commented on Atalanta's prospects in Serie A

Russian coach Igor Shalimov believes that Atalanta will not become the champion of Italy, despite their good form.

Russian coach Igor Shalimov stated on air that he does not believe in Atalanta's victory in the Italian championship. Atalanta earned 37 points in 16 matches, while Napoli has two points less. Inter played two fewer matches and collected 31 points.

— Atalanta is in a great rhythm. The coach has been working there for a long time, there is some player turnover, but Gasperini managed to elevate the team to another level. In Italy, usually the championship is contested by three top teams. If one of them falters, another team might take the title. Atalanta... Perhaps Napoli did not expect this, even when Napoli moved ahead from the beginning of the tournament. Inter is close to Atalanta in terms of points lost. In May, I cannot envision the scudetto in Bergamo, — noted Shalimov.
