First difficult moment at home Udinesewith defeats against Venice And Juventus which aroused some bad mood in Mister Kosta Runjaic. The coach, in the press conference after the 0-2 against the Old Lady, underlined the bad attitude shown in the first half, where the Friulians seemed too similar to the intimidated ones seen in the difficult last season. A terrible approach that followed the Penzo match, thrown away by the same zebrette, who had gone ahead by two goals.
It won’t be easy to reverse the trend in the results already against an Atalanta team that seems to be in excellent form, but certainly all the Bianconeri, Runajic first and foremost, they expect to see a different Udinese at least in their attitudewhich will have to be more similar to the one seen in the second half against Juventus. Perhaps over the course of the three matches some rotations were not optimal, with Zemura who seemed more suited to the match against Venezia, while Kamara gave something more in the match against the Vecchia Signora, as well as the heavy pairing of Davis-Lucca seemed more compelling.
Surely Runjaic is also getting to know his group further and the return of will also help Thauvin and of Ekkelenkamp. The former has already started against Juventus, showing some flashes of his in a not yet optimal state of form. The Dutchman was unlucky and stopped just when he probably would have found more space. The positive news is therefore that at least the infirmary is emptying. Essentially only Alexis Sanchez is missing, who should make it by the end of the month. The coach, therefore, will soon be able to restart those experiments with which he was forming a group of 16 points in 9 games. Against Atalanta we will have to attempt the feat, perhapsthe three challenges that will really make Udinese understand where they are in their journey.
