Atlético Madrid are one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer window right now.
The club’s board is committed to strengthening Diego Simeone‘s squad to ensure it is ready to compete in all competitions.
Rojiblancos have signed central midfielder Johnny Cardoso, attacking midfielder Thiago Almada, left winger Álex Baena.
After successful loan spells last season, Atlético also signed goalkeeper Juan Musso and defender Clément Lenglet.
Finally, the team also signed left wing-back Matteo Ruggeri, who joined them from the Italian club Atalanta BC for €17m.
In the following scout report and player analysis, we will discuss Matteo Ruggeri style of play and technical characteristics, based on his performances with Nerazzurri.
After two seasons in Serie B, Cremonese secured their promotion to Serie A following a long and gruelling 2024/2025 campaign, which saw them defeat Spezia in the play-off final.
It is essential to emphasise that Spezia were ahead of Cremonese in the standings by five points.
Still, despite this, Cremonese managed to defeat their direct opponent in a two-legged competitive battle, ultimately winning 2-3 in the away leg.
This result means that I Grigiorossi are back in Serie A after two years of absence.
With the signing of experienced Serie A head coach Davide Nicola, the club and its fans hope to guarantee their stay in Serie A for the following season and avoid relegation.
But to succeed in achieving that, Cremonese’s mission will not be easy, as the competition is high between the teams that usually play to avoid relegation.
This tactical analysis article aims to identify Cremonese’s transfer market needs that suit Davide Nicola’s philosophy.
The analysis will also examine Nicola’s playing style at Cremonese, assessing whether he can help the team avoid relegation.
