Ivan Juric’s new Roma wins and convinces, 3-0 against Udinese, in an Olimpico that spares few Giallorossi: the only one to receive applause from all the fans before and after the match is Paulo Dybalaamong the best on the pitch and able to win and convert the penalty for 2-0. For The Sports Gazette deserves a 7 in the report card: “Too easy for him, given that Udinese gives him time to play and have fun. He wins and converts the penalty for 2-0”. Half a point more from Sports Courier: “He helps the midfielders in setting up the action and his flashes of inspiration create the team’s dangerous chances. A standing ovation for him at the start and end of the match, unlike many of his colleagues, as well as when he wins and then scores the penalty to double the lead. Indispensable.”
I give it a 7 instead Allsports: “He wins and converts the penalty for 2-0 and plays all over the pitch”. Half a vote more from the specialized portal Voiceyellowred.it: “Good at finding himself free between the lines, lighting up Roma’s game. He wins and converts the penalty for 2-0”. 7 instead is the grade we find in the report cards branded TMW: “A few good balls delivered but also a few wrong ones. Sometimes he is too far from the goal, but in the last thirty meters he always gives the feeling of being able to find the right spark or the right corridor. And then the penalty, won and converted in style. The rebirth of Roma passes (also or above all?) through him”.
