The first defeat of the season arrives for theUdinesewho fell 3-0 at the Olimpico after a performance that was decidedly below par compared to what has been seen in recent weeks. The Bianconeri, in fact, did not take to the field with their usual determination, put in difficulty by a Rome decidedly more lively than in previous outings. Some doubts also about Runjaic’s initial choices, with the coach who lined up his players by changing the midfield once again, which struggled a lot to connect with the three-quarter line and therefore with the centre-forward Lucca.
Kosta Runjaic opts for Ekkelenkamp paired with Karlstrom, reintroducing Brenner alongside Thauvin after the 3-5-2 proposed at the Tardini against Parma. A first time that does not immediately give the hoped-for signals. In fact, Udinese, it takes a lot of effort both in the destruction phase of the opponent’s game, with Roma’s wingers and midfielders creating many problems from the very first minutes, but also under constructionOn the counterattack, Thauvin and Brenner often make solitary runs that do not break the Giallorossi’s forcing.
With such a low center of gravity Udinese ends up capitulating earlywith Dovbyk who throughout the game creates problems for a Bijol who seemed to be under par, a bit like all the tenors of the Friulian team. The recovery has little history, another defensive error leads to the penalty then scored by Dybala. With the score at 2-0 a little more space opens up, but Svilar is there to say no to Thauvin in the only concrete opportunity created by the Zebrette. Baldanzi closes the game and brings the curtain down on a game where the Friulians have never substantially managed to oppose an adequate response to the home team. A match to put behind us quickly in view of the next commitments.
