Defender Luca Ranieri among the worst on the pitch in Fiorentina-Atalanta 3-2. The defender born in 1999, fresh from a contract renewal until June 30, 2028, is struggling to fit into the three-man defense designed by new coach Raffaele Palladino. “You can see that the role of center is certainly not the best: bad on the cross for Retegui, he also makes a mistake on De Ketelaere.”, reads the commentary of TMW. “Two goals on his conscience: outplayed by Retegui and overwhelmed by CDK”, writes the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’.
For Luca Ranieri the ratings range between 4.5 and 5.5. This is the judgment of the ‘Corriere dello Sport’. “He is in on all the goals: Retegui slips behind him, De Ketelaere towers over him, Lookman feints and counter-feints. He is substituted ten minutes from the end”. “Hole on Retegui’s header, struggles in marking”, adds ‘TuttoSport’ on newsstands this morning.
Thus ‘FirenzeViola.it’: “Deployed in the center, he seems more than surprised in the action of the one-nil for Brianza. Maldini also freezes him with the shot of the doubling but is instead precious in supporting Kean for the goal that shortens the distance. Assist aside, it is another painful performance”.
