Final result: Lecce-Udinese 0-2
LECCE’S REPORT CARDS (by Luca Esposito)
Falcone 6 – In fact he concedes two goals out of three total shots by Udinese. In the second case he had performed a miracle on Davis.
Gendrey 5.5 – His runs on the wing were missing, but all of Lecce struggled in construction and he was no exception.
Baschirotto 5 – On the day of the celebration he plays one of the worst matches of the season. He was surprised by Lucca on the occasion of the opening goal, then made the crowd groan with some useless long throws. And he is not even well placed on the net of the final 0-2.
Pongracic 5.5 – The first shot towards Lecce’s goal comes from the central defender, who is able to skip Walace but less so when he has to shoot on goal. He alternates good interventions with some mistakes, he suffers from Lucca’s physicality.
Rooster 6 – Only sufficiency of the day. It’s true that he misses a lot of crosses, a fundamental one in which he must improve, but he runs for 95 minutes and is the last to give up.
Almqvist 5 – A nice acceleration at the start of the match seemed like a prelude to a serious match. However, it will remain an isolated episode. Worn out. From 73′ Oudin sv.
Ramadan 5 – Udinese’s dribbling suffers and is unable to offer any type of resistance when Samardzic acts on the Giallorossi’s attacking midfield.
Blin 5 – Booked, often out of position, removed from the game and punctually anticipated by the midfielders in the black and white jersey. Bad day. From 57′ Pierotti 5.5 – His the only shot on goal, well saved by Okoye.
Dorgu 4.5 – The match against Sassuolo seemed to be one of definitive consecration, but instead from that moment on it took an unexpected turn. Impalpable. From 73′ Gonzalez sv
Raffia 5 – It would have the task of supporting the offensive phase, but is practically never seen, resulting in nothing in the two phases. Even late replacement. From 57′ Berisha 5.5 – It’s not that he did much better than his partner.
Krstovic 5 – Playable balls close to zero, those rare times when the cross is right he loses the duel with the Udinese centre-backs who make a great impression in his presence.
Luca Gotti 5.5 – Salvation is in the safe, but 0-2 partially ruins the party. Colorless test with poor quality, slow and predictable maneuver.
UDINESE’S REPORT CARDS (by Luca Esposito)
Okoye 6 – He only has to intervene once: Pierozzi urges him, he is ready
Perez 7 – One of the best matches of the season, right from the start you can tell it’s a great evening and it sacrifices itself on Krstovic’s shot from close range. A wall.
Bijol 6.5 – A solid performance for him too, he lets practically nothing pass and is always invaluable in doubling the scoring on opposing attacking midfielders. Promoted.
Kristensen 6 – He tries to unlock it immediately by taking advantage of Falcone’s missed exit, but he doesn’t frame the goal. Sometimes it is not stylistically impeccable, but still very concrete.
Ehizibue 6 – Sixth match in a row as a starter for the Juventus pendulum, once again good at accompanying the offensive phase with constant overlaps. He is out due to a slight muscle problem. From 70′ Ebosele 6 – Take part in the 0-2 action.
Walace 6 – The usual barrier to protect the defense, it is no coincidence that the statistics indicate him as one of the players in Serie A who recovers the greatest number of balls like Frendrup of Genoa. Great spirit of sacrifice.
Payero 6 – Tactically important and tiring work for him too, he embellishes an already positive performance with a nice assist for Lucca.
Kamara 5.5 – Perhaps among the players in the black and white shirt he is the one who stands out the least, sometimes he limits himself to his homework, not fully satisfying a coach who asks him to fit in more.
Samardzic 7 – He sings and carries the cross, he who was the most talked about player in the last three transfer sessions but who, in the end, remained in Udine with the right head. With Cioffi he often ended up on the bench, with Cannavaro he found his starting jersey again. And he repaid him with the goal that made it 0-2. From 90′ Zarraga sv.
Success 6 – Deployed in a slightly further back position to take out the opposing central defenders and not to give reference points. He doesn’t make himself particularly dangerous, but he is valuable in his bank game. From 70′ Davis 6 – Falcone denies him the joy of scoring, but enters well and has great merit in the doubling goal.
Lucca 6.5 – It starts like this, then it comes to an end after two months of abstinence and he finds conviction and awareness again. Big header between Pongracic and Baschirotto, two very uncomfortable clients from a physical point of view. From the 70th minute Pereyra 6 – He’s not in top form yet, but he handles the ball very well to protect the lead.
Fabio Cannavaro 6.5 – First victory in Serie A as a coach, against an opponent decimated by absences in attack and mathematically safe. All in all, a well-deserved success.
