A third of the championship is now gone, the national teams are resting until March – and perhaps this is a good thing, given the many injuries that have occurred – but it is already time for a partial assessment that may be proven wrong over the next few weeks. Because our Serie A has to deal with several particular casesfrom that of Enzo LeFée, paid 23 million by Roma, to a Danilo who seems to have lost his captaincy and probably won’t leave just because Juve doesn’t have many defenders to choose from. Sulemana played more with Ghana than with Atalanta, or Rafa Marin, bought for twelve million and only played in one Italian Cup match.
Enzo LeFée, Ghisolfi’s mysterious investment. For now five appearances and four points
Ibrahima Sulemana, more present with Ghana than with Atalanta. Loan in January?
Danilo, from captain to possible purge. But defenders are rare at Juve
Thijs Dallinga, still without a goal after twelve games. Last year it exploded in November
Rafa Marín, disappeared in Naples. Only one appearance, Real Madrid won’t buy him back
Alexis Sanchez, the great comeback that hasn’t been seen yet. At least for the moment
Tomas Palacios, the apprenticeship with Inzaghi is underway. Then it will find more space
Douglas Luiz, more no than yes for Thiago Motta. Even if he wants to stay in Turin
Mats Hummels, in the best thirty of the Ballon d’Or. But not in Juric’s
Nicolò Zaniolo, the burden of having to prove at all costs. It needs time.
