UDINE. It seems that Udinese’s last two games, decided by a single action, have always followed the same damn script. This time, with Fiorentina, it was a penalty that steered the game towards an uphill track for the Bianconeri. Here are who were the best and worst in Friuli
7 DEULOFEU
A single flash in the first half when he steals the ball from Milenkovic, jumps Martinez Quarta but then fails to serve Beto only in front of the goal. The change of module in the shot enhances its characteristics. He jumps the direct opponents like pins, engages Dragowski and then when he directs the ball under the intersection of the posts Milenkovic thinks to deflect the conclusion. His best match against Udinese is equal to that of last year with Verona.
6 SILVESTRI
Only one save in the second half on Saponara.
6.5 BECAO
Careful performance. Well also as a central right in the back four.
6.5 NUYTINCK
Immediately a sumptuous advance on Vlahovic. He doesn’t show him the ball.
7 SAMIR
Great recovery both from winger and from central on Vlahovic.
6 SOPPY
He does not take advantage of Torreira’s gift but on the whole he holds the field well. It comes out for tactical reasons.
4.5 ARSLAN
Slow, inaccurate and nervous. He gets into a fight when Pereyra is entering the box. Incomprehensible.
5.5 WALACE
Too slow in the ball turn, even if in 4-2-3-1 his physicality is needed.
5.5 PEREYRA
Opaque first half, in the second half he draws a nice corridor for Beto. Stop.
6 STRYGER LARSEN
First half to the left on Callejon, in the second half he goes down to the right. Does his.
6 BETO
Enterprising, eager. He commits Dragowski, then it is Igor who denies him the 1-1.
6 MAKENGO
He goes to pair up in the middle of the field with Walace. It covers large areas of the field.
6 PUSSETTO
He suffers in tight spaces, maybe it’s best to keep him on the right with Pereyra in the middle. But he had earned the penalty.
6 MOLINA
Udinese pushes more to the left. Touch a terrific assist for Pereyra.
6 UDOGIE
With his entry Deulofeu can push even more.
SV SAMARDZIC
Enter the finale. Carry too much ball.
