Final result: Verona-Monza 0-2
VERONA (edited by Luca Esposito)
Montipò 5.5 – It is difficult to attribute responsibility to him for the three Monza goals, perhaps he came out late on Bianco’s goal, leading Faraoni to make the mistake.
Tchatchoua 5 – Very negative evening for the yellow and blue defender, in difficulty against Caprari and often imprecise when crossing.
Ghilardi 5.5 – Game largely sufficient until the 0-2 goal, he too finds himself out of position and Dani Mota takes advantage of this to close the discussion. Previously a super save and two opportunities to score the equalizer.
Magnani 5 – He would have the physical size to keep up with a top-level player like Djuric, but in the long run he loses all the aerial duels and suffers as has rarely been seen at the start of the season.
Bradaric 4.5 – Ready, go and leaves too much space for Dani Mota allowing him to take aim and place it in the corner. The ball, among other things, passes under his legs. And he is also late on Djuric during the doubling action. Bad evening. From 75′ Pharaoni 5 – Decisive error on the third goal.
Duda 5 – Nesta places Pessina on him like a man and he almost never sees her. A frustrating foul costs him a yellow card and disqualification for the next match against Atalanta. Just the change. From 60′ Serdar 5 – He’s very wrong too.
Belahyane 5 – It starts with the usual all-court pressing, but it’s a flash in the pan because it goes out quite quickly and disappears from the scene suffering from the red and white dribbling.
Suslov 5 – When there are few spaces available we would like the play of talent, but instead it’s a bad day for him too and he never manages to find the right intuition to break the visiting defense. From the 60th minute Kastanos 5.5 – Can a team that struggles to create chances give up one of the most technical players? He starts off well straight away, with Turati telling him no. He preaches in the desert, undoubtedly the successor who has done best.
Tengstedt 5 – Incomprehensibly he remains on the pitch until the end despite being clearly in difficulty. At 0-1, with Serdar free, he missed an easy pass and angered Bentegodi. Half a vote more for having almost equalized at the end of the first half after a good personal play. The only one of his race.
Lazovic 5 – The same goes for Suslov, he only stands out for a shot at the start of the second half that was well saved by Turati. From the 70th minute Livramento 5 – Smoky.
Mosquera 4.5 – Monza’s defense completely nullifies him and doesn’t let him touch the ball, the feeling is that the opposing teams have studied him. From the 60th minute Sarr 5 – It didn’t make an impact.
Paolo Zanetti 5 – The fear is that, as always, his teams start strong and then fall behind. The times of the 3-0 win over Napoli seem light years away. Try really colorless.
MONZA (edited by Luca Esposito)
Turati 7 – Bentegodi boos him for wasting too much time, but can only admire his authoritative performance. He doesn’t have to make decisive saves, but on many occasions he is impeccable and is ready. Complete goalkeeper who is not making Di Gregorio regret.
Izzo 6.5 – A great overhead kick save to inaugurate an almost perfect and flawless match. Personality and character in a difficult stage for everyone.
Mari 7 – A safety, he confirms himself as one of the most underrated defenders in the category. Saves a goal that was almost scored at 0-1 by sacrificing himself on Serdar. In the final decisive header in the middle of the six-yard box, when he anticipates Sarr with perfect timing. Gigantic.
Carbons 6 – The least brilliant of the defensive trio, perhaps influenced by the yellow card he received in the first half. Ordinary administration.
Pereira 5.5 – He doesn’t catch the eye especially when he is called upon to set up, his mistake gives rise to a potentially very dangerous action for Verona. Better in interdiction, he sacrifices himself to protect the rearguard. From the 65th minute D’Ambrosio 6 – All his experience to manage a delicate phase of the match.
Pessina 6.5 – Less flashy than usual, Nesta asks him to play man on Duda and respects the deliveries perfectly without missing a single intervention. When Verona allows space they also show up forward and don’t waste a single ball. From 80′ Gagliardini sv.
Bondo 6.5 – He’s not in top shape and has to manage himself, he does it with great intelligence by shifting into fifth gear after a quiet start. In the second half he was appreciated for some precious recoveries, with courageous and quality serpentines between three opponents.
Kyriakopoulos 7 – Great game from the red and white winger, unsurpassed in one-on-one situations and very generous when it was necessary to overlap to participate in the team action. Only the crossbar denied him the joy of scoring.
Caprari 6 – First half hour of great depth, he provided the assist for the opening goal. In the long run he loses brilliance, the physical decline is evident and costs him a yellow card and a replacement. The boos were ungenerous from a stadium that has delighted in the past with goals. From 65′ White 6.5 – Excellent impact, mocks Faraoni and Montipò and scores the first goal in Serie A.
Mota 7.5 – Great match for a talented player who, for years, has made the difference with the red and white shirt. Impregnable. First double in Serie A for a player who is essential for survival. From 90′ Vignato sv.
Djuric 6.5 – He has the chance to score the 0-2 with a header but thanks Montipò. It’s not like him. He immediately redeems himself with two header assists and incredible work across the pitch. Spirit of sacrifice and decisive role even on inactive balls against him.
Alessandro Nesta 7 – The first victory in Serie A is never forgotten, it repays Galliani’s trust in the best possible way by fielding a cynical and compact team. Could this be the beginning of a new course?
