Former executive Luciano Moggi has opened up about his discussions with Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini regarding Teun Koopmeiners. According to Moggi, the coach is convinced that the Dutch midfielder requires a specific approach that avoids pinning him to a rigid tactical position.
Koopmeiners should not be given a role. He should be put on the pitch and left to find his position himself. If you give him a role, you confuse him and he practically disappears. Luciano Moggi
Moggi added that, currently, Koopmeiners appears hesitant and fears making mistakes when receiving the ball, which impacts his overall contribution. Furthermore, Moggi expressed skepticism regarding recruitment decisions surrounding Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade, stating that he would not have signed either player.
