UDINE. Udinese beat Venezia 3-0 at the Friuli stadium. These are the report cards of the Juventus protagonists.
SILVESTRI. After 6 ‘he has to come out on Johnsen’s feet who tries to overtake him with a digger: he is good at raising his arm and intercepting the trajectory. Even more difficult and heavy save at the beginning of the second half on Okereke’s left low shot on which he unleashes a great reflex. Worthy heir of Musso. 7
NUYTINCK. After 4 ‘Walace gives Okereke a ball and with his left foot he manages to defuse the dangerous Venetian restart. A back pass of the head is also providential. In the second half he is in the right place at the right time to sweep the penalty area. The match against Juventus has been canceled. 6,5
BECAO. Out of position on the occasion of the most sensational goal of Venezia in the first half. Good for him who puts a Silvestri patch on it. For the rest, he keeps his area of competence well and reduces risks to a minimum by reducing an opponent who is not as simple as Johnsen to mild advice. 6
SAMIR. A good slip closure on Johnsen’s left-to-right cut. In the first half he badly wastes a restart in numerical superiority but overall he reduces errors to a minimum and this is already good news since he is a defender by trade. 6
MOLINA. He tends to go less without the ball, perhaps because he misses the “catapult” De Paul. Cor Arslan the agreement needs to be improved. When he puts himself in the square, the decisive shot and assist for Pussetto. Two mistakes in the disengagement phase including the one that leads to Okereke’s opportunity, then he stamps the 3-0. 7
LION. Until Pussetto’s goal he was Udinese’s most dangerous striker with two conclusions: the first a bit central, the second angled on which the goalkeeper of Venezia performs a half miracle. He also has a hand in doubling. (Jajalo sv) Ten minutes more recovery: he just has to manage. 6,5
WALACE He begins by losing a ball on his trocar (4 ‘), but at the distance he grows: it is he who triggers Molina in the action of the goal, a decisive closure with the Venezia in numerical superiority in the Friulian area which is perhaps the most precious play of his match. (Udogie sv) Enter injury time. 6,5
MAKENGO. Always late in the pressing times and in fact on a couple of occasions it’s Walace’s turn to close a couple of holes. Two conclusions: the first weak and central, the second almost without fail on Molina’s assist in which the goalkeeper denies him the goal. In terms of quality, something is still missing. 5,5
STRYGER LARSEN. The Dane is the only novelty presented by Gotti with respect to the formation sided with Juventus. Perfect choice. Larsen will also want to change the air, but plays a very orderly and applied game embellished with a dangerous conclusion and the perfect assist for Molina. 7
PEREYRA. Perhaps less eye-catching than the match against Juventus, but he still manages to be precious for the development of the maneuver. In the first half he lacks the last centimeter to place the decisive acute, in the second half both from second striker and from midfielder various on the whole attack front. 6,5
DEULOFEU. In an hour or so of the championship he has already scored two goals. As with Juve, his entry enlivens Udinese’s maneuver. His touch for the conclusion of Arslan who rejected by the goalkeeper allows him to find the goal. This is the best news of this start of the season: if he is doing well in a team like Udinese, the Catalan can shift the balance. The stop will help him improve his condition. 7
OKAKA. Gotti had tried him for almost the whole week alongside Pussetto, then takes him with him on the bench and, as against Juventus, he only gives him the last ten minutes when the result is to be managed, not recovered. On Pereyra’s assist he is found offside, then takes an avoidable yellow card for protests that shows a certain nervousness. SV
PUSSETTO. Score a goal of fine workmanship: stop of the chest and right of counterbalance on the near post. Shortly before on Pereyra’s throw he had missed the stop by widening and favoring the recovery of the defender. In the second half he goes close to doubling with a header rejected by Lezzerini and then he performs in an irresistible solo with a lot of tunnel to the opponent that leads to a warning from Vacca. He can make the first striker, but close to a quality striker he can see his characteristics enhanced even more. 7,5
