UDINE. Some coaches argue that victory, among other benevolent effects, also has the power to lighten the burden of effort to achieve success. With this assumption, Udinese’s knockout at the Olimpico therefore risks weighing heavily on the legs and especially in the minds of the Bianconeri, because Gotti’s boys left a lot of energy on Thursday evening (23 September) in front of Roma, without then reap the fruit of what is sown. The images of Udogie, collapsed to the ground with cramps before the substitution with Larsen 11 ‘from the end, and of Molina’s compliance in the duel with Calafiori, in the action that led to the decisive goal, can best photograph the physical fatigue and mental of a group to which a point would have also given morale, helping to better recharge the “batteries” in view of Fiorentina (Sunday 26 September, at 3 pm), which Gotti will start only after finishing the eve.
CHECK UP
Overlooking the two days of recovery less than the Viola (which we discuss separately), the first good news arrived yesterday from Bruseschi is that the medical staff has not found any critical issues among the players employed so far. The maximum availability for tomorrow is therefore there, and this time it should also include Success, which the staff has not reinstated in the last two games, because it is considered still delayed in recovery after the gastrointestinal problems had two weeks ago. Yesterday the Nigerian trained with the group that came out on the fields, while those who were squeezed in Rome only thought about recovering, just like Udogie did, who in Rome played with only one training in the group after stopping for two weeks.
MINUTES
The fatigue factor, with some elements such as Nuytinck (472 minutes played so far), Becao (487 ‘) and Samir (482’), to be recovered as best as Molina in the 438 minutes played in the league he had flown to South America for the commitments with the national team. Extraordinary who presented the bill at a distance, between carelessness and lack of brilliance that led Gotti to replace him in the 62nd minute at the Olimpico, like Pussetto, two changes dictated by the logic of the result rather than by that of turnover, as it had seemed instead with Napoli, when Pereyra and Deulofeu had been recalled to the bench in the 64th minute at 0-3 for the Neapolitans at a game therefore now compromised.
TURNOVER
The anti-Viola formation could therefore be the daughter of the turnover, especially on the flanks, with Larsen who could act on the right, if Gotti does not decide to launch Soppy, or with the Dane on the left for Udogie. Meanwhile, tomorrow there will be no Primavera players who will host Monza, at 11, at the “Capocasale” in Udine.
