THE’Udinese returns to success after two defeats in a row. Thanks to a pearl from Jordan Zemura in fact, from a free kick the Bianconeri managed to break the resistance of a fairly square Lecce team, but which proved to be ineffective in the offensive zone. The zebras faced various difficulties in the challenge but Runjaic in this sense it has a mitigating factor given that the infirmary, between bruises and muscular problems, has become a bit full, taking away important pieces from the Friulians.
A match where the Friulians did not start in the best way, probably paying for the absences of players like Thauvin and Lovricwhich clearly took away the quality of the maneuver. An opportunity to make Ekkelenkamp, Zarraga and Brenner responsible, in a successful attempt, even if only partially. The midfielder, in fact, takes a while but in the long run, especially with the heavy attacking pair tested in the second half, it gets going. However, the Brazilian second striker never manages to enter the game, perhaps for the first time called to be at the center of the action, but ending up being quite impalpable.
Definitely better in the second half with the pairing formed by Davis and Lucca. The Englishman, in fact, manages to lift the team with his physicality and above all with his experience in opening the game. Udinese thus raises the center of gravity, ending up finding the key to the problem in the long run, with Zemura pulling out of the hat a goal from a free kick that had been missing in Friuli for two years (Deulofeu in Udinese-Atalanta 2-2 in 2022/2023) . Three important points, obtained in an emergency situation and which allow us to continue working with serenity, for a team that seems to have many interesting individualities, which however need time to grow.
