However, Marotta insists the defending champions are now ready to hunt down La Dea.
“Atalanta is a global example of a winning and virtuous club model,” he said at the Gazzetta Sports Awards in Genoa on Tuesday.
“There are teams that have different characteristics, but Atalanta has now acquired a winning mentality and that is no easy feat. I trust that they will be able to deal with the pressure that will arise during the season.
“They are the hare and we are the hunters. I maintain that they are among the leading candidates to win the Scudetto.”
