Decisive goal, but also played with excessive condescension and a provocative celebration. It’s all there in the game Nicolò Zanioloamong the protagonists of the match between Cagliari and Atalanta. Having come on in the second half in place of De Ketelaere, he took little time to show off himself by scoring the match goal from a cross from Bellanova (with a subsequent celebration near the opponent’s corner which infuriated Gapserini). The goals, with more coolness at the end, could have even been two. However, it remains an excellent impact on a match that was becoming difficult.
The votes for the former Roma are very different between the gold confirming how divisive this player is and leads newspapers to highlight different aspects of his performances. TMW gives 7 as Tuttosportcommenting thus: “The deus ex machina of the Goddess, who enters and scores the 3-point goal. She could have managed a counterattack in the final better.”
Despite the match goal, the Corriere della Sera And The Republic they don’t go beyond a skimpy 6. Is the truth somewhere in the middle? And then they might be right La Gazzetta dello Sport and the Corriere dello Sport who judged Zaniolo’s match by giving 6.5 on the report card.
