Atalanta are back on the pitch after the break against reigning champions Napoli, fresh from the change at the helm.

Which Atalanta player made his Serie A debut at the hand of Mazzarri?

One of Atalanta’s latest signings: Michel Ndary Adopo. Before landing in Bergamo, Ndary spent several years among the ranks of Torino, the team that brought him to Italy in 2017 signing him from Torcy. During the 2021/2022 season, Adopo was loaned out to then Lega Pro side Viterbese after making his Serie A debut with the Maroons in the 0-2  win over Roma back in January 2020, when he was subbed in for Berenguer by the then Torino coach Walter Mazzarri.

Which Atalanta player made his Serie A debut against Napoli?

Scamacca made his Serie A debut with Sassuolo in October 2017, replacing Falcinelli in the closing minutes of the match. With three goals in his last two league start to his name so far, only once before had Scamacca been on a scoring streak of three consecutive games: in a twist of fate, his third victim was no other than Napoli.

How did our last match against a reigning Napoli end?

Napoli arrive in Bergamo as reigning champions for the first time in almost 33 years. The last matchup between Atalanta and a title-holding Napoli dates back to December 9 1990. Atalanta took the game to a Napoli bereft of Maradona creating plenty of chances: with Caniggia’s goal in the second half being eventually disallowed for offside, the match culminated in a 0-0 standstill.
