Ivory Coast international Odilon Kossounou is beginning to rediscover his best form at Atalanta, following a period of adaptation and uncertainty. The 22-year-old central defender has gradually settled into the squad after a few weeks of adjustment, and his latest performance has reaffirmed his importance to the Italian club.
On Tuesday, Atalanta secured a resounding 6-1 victory in the Champions League, with Kossounou playing a crucial role in their dominant display.
The Ivorian was solid in defence, offering crucial interventions and contributing to the team’s defensive stability throughout the match.
Kossounou, who joined Atalanta earlier this season, was particularly instrumental in the game’s pivotal moments, further proving his growing influence within the team.
His authoritative presence at the back has helped Atalanta navigate the intensity of European competition with confidence.
The defender’s return to form is a promising sign for both Atalanta and the Ivory Coast national team, as Kossounou looks to continue building on this strong performance in the upcoming fixtures.
After a period of adjustment, the 22-year-old is now starting a string of consecutive appearances and seems poised to reach his peak in the weeks to come.
Kossounou’s development and his recent performances are not only a boost to Atalanta’s Champions League campaign but also a hopeful sign for the future of Ivory Coast’s national defense.
With his recent contributions, Kossounou is quickly becoming an integral part of the Serie A side’s defensive unit, further solidifying his place as one of the top rising talents in African football.
