Atalanta-Sporting Lisbon, Scamacca’s big chance
To date, he has scored seven goals in 25 appearances
Scamacca’s season, up to this point, is definitely not è exciting. He has scored seven goals in 25 matches this season and, in the last four games, has always started from the bench. Today, in the challenge on the field of Sporting Lisbon, valid for the first leg of the Europa League round of 16, he might get the big chance. Gasperini is reportedly considering giving him a starting shirt.
In the group stage, he scored, at home, precisely against Sporting Lisbon his only goal in Europe. Reduced from a series of performances that were not up to par, he must also give comforting signals to relaunch himself in terms of the national team, as the European Championship looms. He doesn't lack potential, continuity's his big limitation, at least for the moment (to remember that he's a class of 1999).
Gasperini has never abandoned him: "Moreù joy and less pressure: Gianluca always has great expectations on him, but it would be good if he dropped more into normalcy. From him one cannotò expect him to do the miles of Ederson and De Roon, but I would like him to increase his range of action. Forò I would also like to see him less disappointed after a mistake. He is trying", his words to Sky Sport. With Sporting Lisbon, many are hoping for a super try from Scamacca.
