Final result: Hellas Verona-Udinese 0-0
HELLAS VERONA (edited by Giuseppe Lenoci)
Montipò 7 – He is the best on the pitch, also given the over the top performance in the second half: his saves ensure that his team go home with a point.
Dawidowicz 6.5 – He fights and chases Thauvin throughout the field, trying to avoid unpleasant surprises. Also be careful with numerical inferiority.
Coppola 6.5 – The hand-to-hand fight with Lucca exalts him and allows him to be one of the best on the field: his performance is flawless.
Ghilardi 6 – Careful not to be surprised by the insertions of the opposing midfielders, he also tries to help his midfielder with dribbling attempts.
Tchatchoua 5.5 – He doesn’t push the winger as usual and he struggles to find the right times for insertions.
Serdar 5 – He leaves his team numerically inferior after a double yellow and blemishes his performance with an avoidable foul in midfield. A lot of tiredness for the midfielder, with little clarity at the moment of the sliding intervention.
Duda 6.5 – In the midfield, he manages to manage a series of dirty balls, serving Suslov vertically. Its quality can be seen.
Bradaric 6 – The surprise of Zanetti’s starting eleven, in place of Lazovic. He looks more for coverage, even if he doesn’t give up pushing on the wing. From 82′ Magnani sv –
Suslov 6.5 – The right approach to the match for the attacking midfielder, a point of reference for his team ready to free up the strikers. With numerical inferiority, he lowers his center of gravity, sacrificing himself. He leaves exhausted. From 82′ Daniliuc sv –
Tengstedt 6 – Hellas number 11 switched off. More shadows than lights for the striker who leaves the field without leaving his mark, wasting at the start of the second half. From 73′ Belhayane 6 – He comes in to basically cover two areas of the pitch, given the red card given by Serdar and guarantees support for his team.
Sarr 5.5 – He is not often seen going forward, but his recovery on Kristensen generates the best opportunity for his team, which was not exploited by his teammate. However, it is not enough to obtain a passing grade. From 56′ Mosquera 6 – Gives more dynamism to the attack. However, the numerical inferiority which does not allow him to make any breakthroughs on the pitch weighs heavily.
Paolo Zanetti 6 – The coach finds a courageous performance in his team, even when outnumbered. The choices are balanced and allow us to close the first round with a precious point.
UDINESE (edited by Giuseppe Lenoci)
Sava 6 – Be careful between the posts, even though there are very few dangers, especially in the first half. Well done on Tengstedt, while with numerical superiority he suffers nothing.
Kristensen 6 – In addition to defending carefully, he tries to detach himself from the trio to try to become an extra man in the opponent’s half of the pitch.
Bijol 6 – Certainly at the center of defense, he makes no mistakes and keeps the Veronese offensive tandem at bay.
Solet 6.5 – Runjaic’s surprise choice for the match: the centre-back’s debut is certainly positive. Enormous physicality for the defender, who can be the Bianconeri’s extra weapon.
Ehizibue 6 – He tries to take advantage of his speed to wedge himself into the Veronese defense. However, he doesn’t find the right crosses for the strikers. From 78′ Modesto 6 – He tries to push given his numerical superiority but doesn’t have too much time to show off.
Lovric 6.5 – His technique stands out in the Juventus midfield. Some of his ideas try to shake up his team. His volleyed finish in the second half was good. From 67′ Atta 6.5 – He brings more freshness to the midfield and comes close to scoring just before the ninetieth minute: only a miracle from Montipò, and the crossbar, deny him the joy of scoring.
Karlstrom 5.5 – There isn’t too much space for the midfielder who struggles in the first half looking for the right balls for his teammates. Warned, he takes risks on several occasions. From 78′ Sanchez 6 – A few minutes on the pitch for the Chilean talent who tries to exploit his numerical superiority.
Payero 5.5 – The midfielder is more in the shade, careful when covering. He doesn’t find the play to split the game, as happened on other occasions. From 67′ Ekkelenkamp 6 – Alternate wood with ball control. In eleven against ten he tries to be the glue with the offensive department, giving the extra man forward to his team.
Kamara 5.5 – He pushes on the competent flank but can’t find the right break to undermine the defense organized well by Zanetti. Misses a moving penalty in the second half.
Thauvin 6.5 – He lowers his center of gravity on more than one occasion to allow his team to turn the ball around more quickly. The trajectories on the placed certainly create problems for the opponents.
Lucca 5.5 – He fights in a body-to-body challenge with Coppola, who limits him. Booked in the first half for a swing, he returns to the pitch eagerly and creates a danger with a header. From 84′ Bravo sv –
Kosta Runjaic 6 – The coach surprises with Solet on the pitch and with a different direction. He tries to take advantage of his available players and, with the extra man, deploys the trident to break the deadlock. He returns home with a point that moves the rankings.
