Final result: Juventus-Napoli 0-0
By Gregory 6.5 – He must be ready for the only real chance of the match, at the end of the first half his intervention is pure instinct that saves the result on Politano’s free kick. He also does well on a right-footed shot from distance by McTominay and the goal remains intact.
Savona 6.5 – The surprise move by Thiago Motta, after the last benches he returns to the starting lineup and does not look out of place at all. He has an uncomfortable customer like Kvaratskhelia, he never lets himself be skipped. He always accompanies the offensive action.
Kalulu 6.5 – Replacing Gatti from the first few days of this championship was no easy task for anyone, the former Milan player returns to play the central role and does not make us miss his teammate. Diligent and always attentive.
Bremer 7 – It was one of the most interesting duels of the evening, a battle with Lukaku and he always comes out the winner. He doesn’t give the Belgian any space, he works well in advance and with Kalulu he already finds himself by heart. The partner changes but not the performance.
Change 6.5 – You find him covering Politano and then suggesting the pass to the three-quarter line, now a tactical key for Thiago Motta. The man everywhere for the Bianconeri, he almost serves the winning assist for Koopmeiners in the second half.
McKennie 6 – To be reviewed in both phases, he is the extra man on balls sent in the middle from the outside lanes thanks to his sense of insertion. Less precise in the containment phase. From 80′ Thuram sv.
Locatelli 6.5 – In the middle of the field he is the one who plays the most balls, suggests and distributes. Regenerated after a complicated year, also protagonist of a very important closure on Politano in the second half.
Nico Gonzalez 5.5 – A step back from the great performance he gave in the Champions League against PSV, he lost a poisonous ball in the first half and then had a difficult life in the close duel with Olivera.
Koopmeiner 6 – Perhaps he only needs that one play to definitively take over Juventus, he clears up many balls in the three-quarter line. He drops into the middle of the field, crosses and gets in. He tries with his right foot, he lacks precision but is improving.
Yildiz 6 – In the first half he is the man who tries most to create superiority up front, usual movement to come back and several interesting crosses not exploited by his teammates. Sometimes he is stubborn in dribbling but is always fearsome for the blue rearguard.
Vlahović 5 – Another great match like the one against Roma, he doesn’t shine. Never in the thick of the action and always caged by Napoli’s central pair. Only six touches in one half, not enough. Substituted at half-time. From 46′ Weah 6 – He tries to give a new direction to the Juventus offensive game, he tries at the end.
Thiago Motta 6 – Third consecutive 0-0, another match without conceding goals but he can’t find the decisive play to unlock the contest. He starts again from the certainties behind and in the middle of the field, something needs to be reviewed up front. He also tries replacing Vlahovic for Weah so as not to give Napoli any reference points, but the Azzurri defense is a bunker.
