Since Friday night, Udinese has no longer been top of the table, since Torino beat Hellas Verona, but the Bianconeri have enjoyed a week at the top. But it’s officially over now, after the first defeat of the year on the pitch against Roma: at the Olimpico, Thauvin and his teammates went down almost immediately and in the second half they completely sank, ending up losing 3-0, with goals from Dybala, Dovbyk and Baldanzi. Among the worst were undoubtedly Kabasele, because it’s from his side that Roma always breaks through, and Bijol. But the entire Friulian team appeared less than brilliant.
The first defeat of the season came mainly because the team lost too many duels. Word of Kosta Runjaicthe revelation coach of this start to the championship: “I imagined a game in which we would have been a little higher and in which we were able to win more duels, we lost too many and we didn’t keep the ball much. We have to defend and attack all together. The key remains the duels. We played against a great team and we didn’t play the ball much”.
