Udinese-Roma will resume from the 71st minute at 1-1. What had happened until N’Dicka fell ill

The match between Udinese and Roma at 6.00 pm was suspended in the 71st minute with the score 1-1 because of a illness accused by N’Dicka.

Huijsen gets mocked by Pereyra – If at Udinese the turnover is forced (the absences of Lovric and Thauvin play a role in the choice of formation for Cioffi), in Roma it occurs on the precise indication of Mister De Rossi, in particular with regards to Mancini and Dybala. With them out, Pellegrini was also out, but he would have had a small problem in the approach. The Giallorossi lined up like a mirror image of an Udinese team who however approached the challenge better and produced the only dangerous actions of the first quarter of an hour. Aouar tries to sound the alarm for Roma, who gradually raise their range of aggression but pay for a defective exit from below: Huijsen is cheated of time and the ball by Pereyra, who flies towards the goal for the 1- 0 in the 23rd minute. After half an hour, and without much reaction from him, De Rossi changes and goes back, giving up the three-man rearguard for a more canonical 4-3-3. Possession slowly becomes the exclusive use of Roma, who however crash into the low and rocky defense set up by Cioffi. The only one to find space before the break was Lukaku, who however missed Okoye’s goal with his header. At the end of the first half, Udinese returned ahead 1-0, the Giallorossi did not perform as they would like.

Lukaku draw, fear for N’Dicka – Upon returning, there was no change of men for De Rossi, who confirmed the eleven from the first half set up with a four-man defense as in the final quarter of an hour of the half. The first minutes of the second half saw a series of long-range attempts, all without luck: in order, Cristante, Lucca (these two capable of hitting the target, at least) and Samardzic tried. Roma raise their center of gravity and insistently seek support from Lukaku. In the 64th minute he also found something more than a simple tackle: Cristante’s kissed cross which the Belgian center forward powerfully headed into the bag, anticipating both Bijol and Okoye. Moment of interruption due to an invader who asks to take a selfie with Dybala, what happens to N’Dicka is decidedly more serious. The defender collapses alone and is carried off the field on a stretcher. Initially everything seems under control, the player raises a thumb as he leaves, but concern begins to spread among his teammates. De Rossi goes to check on his condition in the changing rooms, but when he succeeds he asks Udinese and the referee for suspension. Granted, the match will resume from the 71st minute and with the score 1-1.
