In continuation of the first part of the season-opening teams, we present you the second part, which includes the following three teams.
Atalanta
The Bergamo team last season was delighted with its bright and beautiful game, but it did not bring any big dividends. Now the team of Gian Piero Gasperini is in the Champions League zone, lagging behind "Inter" on the 3rd place by 3 points. Orobichi also have a real chance to win their second trophy since 1963 - the Italian Cup, the opponent in the final will be the Roman Lazio. On the way to the decisive match, there was a bit of a permanent champion of the last 7 seasons - Juventus Turin with a score of 3-0.
Atalanta's visiting card is an open effective football, the "provincial" scored the most in the series A - 68 goals (the same number of balls and "Juve"), a third of which fell on this year's blossoming Duvan Zapata (21 times rivals pulled a football shell out of the net gate). The people of Bergamo are tremblingly waiting for the 2018-2019 season to come to an end because it can bring the long-awaited trophy for the past 56 years and the historic hit of the local club in the Champions League. The fans of Orobici no longer agree on other options.
Eintracht Frankfurt am Main
Just a few seasons ago, the Eagles played in the games for the right to stay in the first Bundesliga, where Niko Kovacs team had a hard time winning over Nuremberg (total score 2-1). In the next two championships, Frankfurt showed progress - 11th and 8th places, respectively. In addition, in his last match for Eintracht, head coach Niko Kovacs defeated his future team, Bayern 3-1, in the final of the German Cup. After the departure of the Croatian specialist, many experts did not expect much success from the team, but the "eagles" were able to keep their leaders, adding to them Philip Kostic on the left flank of the midfield, Sebastian Rode in the center of the field and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who successfully restarted his career. Addie Hutter's new "helmsman" Eintracht made a scheme with 3-1-4-2 main for his team, which in some parts of the match was inverted into an aggressive 3-1-2-4. As a result, three eagle forwards Rebich-Alle-Jovic "punched" 41 goals together in the Bundesliga. The current 4th place in the national championship allows Eintracht to return to the Champions League for the first time after 60 years. However, we must not forget about the UEFA Europa League, where the Frankfurters will try to repeat the success of 1980.
Ajax
Well, how could you do without the great, young and bold Ajax? Amsterdamers, like Barcelona, can still make a treble this season. Although this year the capital's club was defeated several times by its direct rivals at Eredivizi PSV and Feyenoord 0-3 and 2-6 respectively, and yet this fact does not prevent Eric Ten Haga's team from leading the national championship table 2 rounds before its completion. Now, for the first time in many recent seasons, Ajax is a mixture of experience and youth, from the status of a "young" team of Amsterdamers saves the presence in the club Claas-Jan Juntelar, Dusan Tadic, Lasse Sean, and Daily Blind. In addition, it makes no sense to talk about the success of the Dutch in the Champions League, as they write this story before our eyes because only one step is left before the decisive match at Wanda Metropolitano.
