Here is the pinball machine that Udinese tried to send haywire with an arrembante start, made up of very dangerous conclusions by Udogie, Beto, Pereyra, in front of the nose of the opposing goalkeeper, Audero, who could only recommend himself to divine providence, thinking he had it. fared, only to realize that Udinese had the advantage on the foil combination between Deulofeu and Pereyra again.
GENOA. Marassi’s lawn was a pinball machine: 31 overall shots, 6 goals, 3 poles, but the figures that flow on the totalizer cannot tell you if Udinese’s draw is a point gained or two lost. Like those diabolical and technological slides that swallow the ball at supersonic speed, spitting out Star Wars sounds in the amusement arcades of seaside resorts to the amazement of the beholder, the challenge with Sampdoria has turned into a pyrotechnic and enigmatic 3-3.
Yes, because if Udinese finally manages to move the ranking after three defeats in a row, it must also be said that Luca Gotti’s team has shown in some situations a clear technical superiority, so much so that it cannot be a coincidence if the first two goals doriane, those of the comeback and the momentary draws, were practically given by the bianconeri, given Stryger Larsen’s own goal for the 1-1 and the unfortunate back pass by Walace’s harakiri who launched towards the Caputo area, spread by Silvestri for the 2-2 penalty, made by Quagliarella.

Short flashback: Gotti proposed a 3-5-2, leaving the 4-2-3-1 seen in the second half against Fiorentina in the drawer. He was only partially right, because it is absolutely not true that Udinese is able to guarantee a defensive solidity with the “3” line-up, on the contrary, in the unraveling of the match it also went below in the score with an authentic Eurogol of Candreva, a 25-meter diagonal that has slipped into the seven to the right of Silvestri, leaning out into the dive.
Only at that moment did Gotti decide to abandon the life-saving module to move on to the “4” defense. He did not do it before, probably also due to the not perfect conditions of Nacho Pussetto who advised against its use even during the running race, when he decided to insert, after the restart just started, the Arslan “trot” in place of a Deulofeu who he had finished the first leg lying down on the lawn to undo his right shoe and touch his right foot – visibly suffering – as if he had been the victim of a stomp. An inexplicable move for a team that had been grabbed for the second time but which remained a constant danger for the hosts.
A move that the Contarina coach tried to make more edible by inserting Molina in Udogie’s place and moving to the left of Larsen, to have a greater thrust on the flanks, only to realize that the blue, exhausted by fatigue, was one of the strong rings of the team. Maybe it was worth insisting on him? One of the many questions that buzz in your head at the end of the game, above allafter realizing that Candreva went to a wedding with Larsen, as confirmed by the aforementioned ballistic prowess of 3-2, valuable, spectacular, but born alone, without a dog in the ribs.
In terms of pros and cons, it should not be surprising, therefore, if in the end, for the last twenty minutes, to get at least to a draw, Gotti also removed Larsen (only 17 successful passes, for a measly 71%, says the report of the Lega Serie A) to redesign the team, this time with a 4-4-1-1 with Beto as center forward, Pereyra in support, Forestieri and Samardzic outside attackers, Soppy and Molina (on the left) on the sides in defense. And the move worked, given that on the umpteenth corner Forestieri came out on the far post for the 3-3 goal, on the edge of the offside, validated by the Var, as it had been for Beto’s 2-1, the first goal in Italy’s Portuguese striker. The one brilliant gem of an afternoon in the arcade.
