“On the attacking front he varies a lot, especially in the first half, looking for space to hurt. He even manages to do so, with a nice touch underneath to beat Alisson, but he is offside. In the second half he no longer has any offside.” Rating 6 for Thijs Dallinga in the big match at Anfield: the Dutch striker, as stated in our report card TMWhe managed to score his first goal with the Bologna shirt, but the offside position made the marking invalid. He also highlights it La Gazzetta dello Sport: “The goal disallowed for offside is a blow. Van Djik’s elbow, too. He disappears for a long time, he misses supports childishly”, we read in the harsh analysis of the rosea (who not surprisingly gives him a 5 on his report card).
Sufficiency returns to the Corriere dello Sportwho explains his 6 as follows: “He makes a cut and a goal like a thoroughbred striker, but he was offside. He handled the ball well, even if he didn’t create any other dangers.” New step back instead on the newspaper columns Tuttosport: “He scored in the 9th minute with
a velvety touch but he is (clearly) offside. It’s the only noteworthy action. He will not re-emerge from Van Dijk’s tentacles.”
