Final result: Lazio-Hellas Verona 1-0
Mandas 6.5 – He earns his keep tonight too, proving that he is perhaps something more than a vice-Provedel: in the end, a great goalkeeper’s reflex on a scrum in the area.
Patrick 6 – Tudor asks him to move the ball faster and this is the only small flaw in his match. In short, he is a little awkward with the ball at his feet, but when he is called upon to do his job as a defender he gets by without any problems.
Romagnoli 6.5 – On the day he celebrates his 300 appearances in Serie A he does practically nothing wrong. He always keeps his opponent direct, keeping his concentration high throughout the match. A warranty.
Farmhouse 6 – In addition to his physical skills, today he shows all his qualities in reading situations. But then he gets a yellow card, gets nervous and Tudor decides not to risk taking him out of the fray. From the 61st minute Pedro 6 – He comes in well, hits the post from a free kick, his attitude is positive.
Isaksen 5 – He plays in a role that is not his, one he has never played in, as a full-back winger. And, apparently, he hasn’t made it about himself yet. He wastes a couple of opportunities and misses even trivial supports. Foggy. From the 60th minute Zaccagni 7 – Matteo is back. Upon returning from his ankle injury, he comes in and changes the game. Second goal as a former player at Hellas Verona, worth three points. The title of MVP can only belong to him.
Guendouzi 6.5 – In Tudor football, someone like him fits in perfectly, because he holds up in duels and has a vertical gaze, as his coach likes. Even today he reconquered and immediately finished for his teammates, successful more than once.
Kamada 7 – Another player compared to the one seen with Sarri, more convinced, more aware, probably also exploited better. He always shows that he is in the game, in the end he raises the level and becomes a determining factor in both phases of the game. Man-everywhere.
Marusic 6.5 – Up and down the lane without taking a breath for a moment. Tudor said he convinced him he was a winger and not a defender. And so it seems. Even if when he climbs arm in arm he shows that he can also be a defender.
Felipe Anderson 6 – This time he starts as an attacking midfielder, taller, and lights up less than in other matches, but at 0-0 he creates the biggest goal-ball, alone, hitting the crossbar. Good when he passes wide again, sometimes even playing full-back. From 89′ Vecino sv
Luis Alberto 6.5 – A bit of a midfielder, a bit of a central midfielder, but above all a great raider. The insertions without the ball in the opponent’s area are not counted. With one of these he provided the assist for Zaccagni’s 1-0. Inaccurate in front of goal, but all Lazio’s actions pass through his feet. Classy. From 76′ Hysaj sv
Castellanos 6 – He runs a lot, he fights to help his teammates, he fights with his opponents. But also some good fine play. He has less space than against Juventus, so he decides to lower himself more and favor his teammates’ incursions. Since ’88’ Immobile sv
Igor Tudor 7 – With the exception of the derby with Roma, his path at Lazio was clear. Fourth consecutive victory, third in the league, sixth place and Champions League hopes legitimized by a nice vertical, direct game, always dangerous for the opponents. At a certain point he keeps Zaccagni, Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Luis Alberto and Castellanos on the pitch all together: courage is always rewarded.
