Final result: Udinese – Roma 1-2
UDINESE
Okoye 6 – The uncertainty at Lukaku’s 1-1 draw weighed on his assessment, but he made up for it with a great reflex on Azmoun.
Perez 6 – Best of the rearguard in the 72 minutes of last April 14th, he risks sending Azmoun through on goal with carelessness.
From 91′ Kabasele sv.
Bijol 5.5 – Ten days ago he was supposed to face Lukaku: imperious for an hour, he was bullied for the 1-1 goal.
Kristensen 6 – War of the worlds challenge in the aerial duels against Lukaku from ten days ago, this time there isn’t.
Ferreira 5.5 – He seems to be able to hold well in the right lane but concedes the winning corner too lightly.
Samardzic 5.5 – Not very tenacious and not very effective in the 72 minutes played on 14 April, he didn’t leave too many signs even after the restart.
Walace 6 – The first almost perfect half hour eleven days ago, before a bit of scattered suffering in which he has few faults.
Payero 6 – Leg both in proposition and when there is a need to fall back. Precision and quality puts it a little less.
Zemura 6 – He had just entered eleven days ago, this is the segment of the royal judgment for him. Without infamy and without praise.
Pereyra 7 – He had started the ball on the scoreboard in the match initially suspended, less present in the second act.
Lucca 5 – Decent work as a pivot, he manages to move along the entire front without giving references but loses Cristante on goal.
Fabio Cannavaro 5.5 – Absolute debut as a coach in Serie A, he opts for total continuity and brings back the same eleven that were on the pitch at the time of the interruption. He seemed to be able to bring home a point, mocked by Cristante.
Below are those votes for the Bianconeri referring exclusively to the first 72 minutes and 30 seconds of Udinese-Roma, played on 14 April.
Ehizibue 6 – He renounces constant lunges in his own lane, preferring to limit Roma’s left-handed chain.
Kamara 6 – Perky and aggressive in covering the area of competence, he only leaves it exposed once and from there Cristante serves the cross to make it 1-1.
Gabriele Cioffi 6 – Starting with the right arguments, Pereyra’s pressing on the central players is a tactical problem for Roma. When the Giallorossi improve he is forced onto the defensive, until the interruption. At the restart he found himself sacked.
ROME
Svilar 6.5 – He had tried to stop Pereyra in his desperate exit, but to no avail, but in Lucca he was providential.
Left-handed 6 – If in the first act he was kept on the bench, this time De Rossi is counting on him. The answer is sufficient.
Smalling sv – About a quarter of an hour on the pitch before being replaced. Not much to judge, honestly.
From ’88’ Llorente 6 – Some shivers at the start of April 14th, but in the contact in the area with Lucca he was right, even the replays say so. This time he comes in for a few minutes.
Angelino 5.5 – He was shy last April 14th when he had to go and get space on the wing.
Karsdorp 6 – Good takeover eleven days ago in terms of liveliness and desire to sink, less so for the cleanliness of the plays.
From 93′ El Shaarawy sv.
Cristante 7.5 – Protagonist of both parts of the match: first the assist to Lukaku, then the decisive goal in the final 18 minutes plus injury time.
Pilgrims 6 – Among the new formations proposed by De Rossi, it serves to give quality to the midfield and all in all it succeeds.
Spinazzola 6 – Element of disruption on the left-handed flank, he finds few openings to really light up.
Dybala 7 – He had already changed the first part of the match with his substitution, he was decisive overall with the assist provided to Cristante from a corner.
Azmoun 6 – Determined to make a difference even with little time available, he almost (and for Okoye) doesn’t succeed.
Abraham 5.5 – Among the less positive notes of the 18 minutes plus injury time that concluded the match. It was a surprise weapon for De Rossi, the shots remained in the barrel.
Daniele De Rossi 7 – Every passing match proves that he has all the attributes to become a great coach. In Udine, in the two acts, he confirms it: he initially makes a mistake by launching a three-man defence, he remedies it before the suspension. And he makes the most of the 18 minutes plus injury time, seeing himself rewarded for a decidedly offensive attitude.
Below are those votes for the Giallorossi referring exclusively to the first 72 minutes and 30 seconds of Udinese-Roma, played on 14 April.
Huijsen 4.5 – On his nineteenth birthday he gave Udinese a 1-0 win. And he had already taken a risk shortly before, in the exact same way.
N’Dicka 6.5 – Before the incident he had played 71 minutes at a high level: Udinese couldn’t get through on his side.
Zalewski 6 – One of the surprises reserved by De Rossi, Roma performed better on the right than on the left in the first half.
Aouar 5.5 – In a floating position between midfield and attack, he seems to lose reference to the change of formation. Little else until he comes out.
Baldanzi 6 – One of the few great opportunities he can collect, he tries everything to hurt Okoye.
Lukaku 7 – Wanted by everyone, in the 64th minute Cristante finds him and scores the 1-1. This is why there is so much insistence.
