Juventus-Frosinone 4-0 (10′, 38′ e 48′ Milik, 61′ Yildiz)
Juventus report cards (by Giacomo Iacobellis)
Perin 6 – Non-paying spectator in both halves, no noteworthy save from the second Juventus goalkeeper is remembered. And it’s certainly not his fault…
Gatti 6.5 – The former player of the day plays the usual game of great sacrifice: rocky in the tackles and always willing to disengage himself to share the ball at his feet. How many bucks in Frosinone’s half of the pitch.
Bremer 7 – Impeccable in his closures, readings and advances: against the Ciociaria attackers in the penalty area he always takes them all.
Danilo 6.5 – More blocked than Gatti, he raises an insurmountable wall in front of Perin together with his compatriot Bremer. The former Real and City player is increasingly the leader of this team, an assistant to Allegri directly on the pitch.
Weah 6.5 – A pendulum on the Juventus right wing, who systematically reaches the back and, when he isn’t looking for the cross, he also tries to look for personal glory like against Salernitana. But this time with a different outcome (From 71′ Cambiaso 6 – About twenty minutes useful to re-test the pitch after the flu).
McKennie 7.5 – The assist for Milik is a chocolate that the Pole just has to unwrap and deposit into the net. That for Yildiz is a 10 intuition with a brushstroke… like Andrea Pirlo. In Juventus’ round victory, even though he didn’t score, there was so much of Weston.
Locatelli 7 – More in the shade in the first half, in which he also received a yellow card for a foul on Mazzitelli in mid-field, at the start of the second half he stole the ball from the same opponent before giving Milik the assist to make it 3-0. And the match ends here (From 64′ Nicolussi Caviglia 6 – A great shot from outside and a lot of personality, waiting to understand what will become of him on the market).
Miretti 7 – He gives everything he has in his body, maybe even more. Maybe he isn’t always clear when he has the ball at his feet, but he has the great merit of winning the penalty kick that inaugurates the goal festival and also of providing the assist for Milik’s poker, which was later canceled out for offside (From 63′ Iling 6 – A good contribution in the last half hour, but the match is already decided).
Kostic 6.5 – Juventus spread out when and how they wanted, attacking on both flanks for 90 minutes. The Serbian pushes to the left and plays his part, albeit without particularly shining.
Yildiz 7.5 – Lots of movement and just as much desire to rock the world for the class of 2005. In the first half he isn’t too concrete, in the second he once again shows everyone that a star has now been born at the Allianz Stadium: his shot flight assisted by McKennie is a real gem. And that bad language in the celebration only brings back good memories to the Juventus people (From 78′ Nonge sv).
Milik 8 – He unblocks it by coldly converting a penalty kick and invents a brace by calling McKennie to the triangle. The choice to prefer him to Vlahovic was more than positive, given that at the start of the second half the easy three of a kind arrives and there would also be his personal poker, if only the VAR didn’t recognize an offside position. The last Juventus hat-trick in the Italian Cup was scored by a certain Alex Del Piero (From 48′ Vlahovic 6 – A second half at a reduced pace, when the game is now over, but with the antennas straight every time there is a possible occasion).
Massimiliano Allegri 7 – His Juventus convinces from all points of view, sweeping away a good Frosinone thanks to Milik’s hat-trick, but also to the usual perfect (or almost) performance in the defensive phase. He sends the right men onto the field in the right game and the choice to once again focus on the star Yildiz from the 1st minute is rewarded with another great goal.
Frosinone report cards (by Paolo Lora Lamia)
Cerofolins 5 – The former Fiorentina goalkeeper has no major responsibility for Milik’s two goals in the first half. Much more negative in the second half, given that he gets Mazzitelli into trouble in the 3-0 action and is not flawless in Yildiz’s 4-0.
Around 5 – Negative performance from the defender, especially in the second half. Yildiz is lost during the 4-0.
Romagnoli 5.5 – Even though the department he was driving sank four times, he was still one of the least worst, making few mistakes.
Lusuardi 5 – The left-sided centre-back started the match with the right attitude, but during the first half he let Milik slip away on the occasion of the second goal and then it got worse and worse.
Lirola 4.5 – In a match with some good finishes and in which he doesn’t concede too much to Kostic, his intervention on Miretti which leads to the 1-0 penalty converted by Milik weighs heavily. An error that kickstarts Juventus’ goleada. From 79′ Bonifazi sv.
Brescianini 5.5 – Of the two Ciociaria midfielders, he is the one who tries a few more moves forward, but without the desired effect.
Mazzitelli 4.5 – Insufficient in the key area of the pitch, both in countering Juventus’ actions and in the process of initiating maneuvers. At 3-0 at the start of the second half, he lost the decisive ball. From 59′ Barrenechea 5.5 – He enters a delicate phase of the match for his team, having no way of making an impact as he would like.
Garritano 5 – Some ideas, especially at the start. For the rest, he has a lot to do in the defensive phase as Weah pushes a lot on his side.
Ibrahimovic 5,5 – In a Frosinone team that was quite opaque going forward, he was however the element that tried to worry Perin several times in the first half of the game. From 46′ Soulé 5.5 – He came on after the break to give a boost, but Juve immediately made it 3-0 and the match effectively ended at that moment.
Harroui 5 – He plays a little further forward than usual, struggling to make an impact in the final meters both in finishing and in the final phase. From 59′ Hay 5,5 – There is no lack of commitment on his part, in a final in which the dream of qualification has already evaporated.
Kaio Jorge 5.5 – Difficult evening for the ex of the match, who receives very few balls. In the rare inviting situations, he is well marked by the Juventus defenders. From 79′ Cheddira sv.
Eusebio Di Francesco 5 – The beginning makes it clear that Frosinone does not want to be a sacrificial victim, but the pitch shows the enormous difference between the two teams. The entrance of the former Soulé immediately after the break was of no use. A turning point is needed to avoid ruining what was achieved in the first round.
