Atalanta rounded off the month of September as they had begun it, on top of the table! Gasperini’s men confirmed themselves as the ‘maglia rosa’ [pink jersey] of these early stages of Serie A, thanks mainly to the great performances of their players. We asked you to vote for the best Atalanta player for September on the ItalianOptic app, the sponsor of the initiative, and the verdict is in; Koopmeiners is, once again, your Player of The Month!

To have a better month than the previous one was by no means easy, but Teun Koopmeiners enchanted again, thanks to all-round performances, leading the team in the most difficult moments; the assist for Demiral against Cremonese and the hat-trick against Torino definitely encouraged our fans to name him POTM again.

He was at the top of the voting for quite some time before surrendering to Teun: Rasmus Højlund tasted the joy of his first POTM award for a long time. His first Serie A goal against Monza and the assist for Scalvini against Roma suggest that he will make up for it soon.

In third place, our captain Rafael Toloi, the leader of the best defence in Serie A.

A big round of applause for Rasmus and Rafa and congratulations to Teun on his second consecutive ItalianOptic Player Of The Month award!
