The report cards of Genoa-Lazio 0-1: Luis Alberto is the light, Kamada with quality. Ekuban wastes too much

Genoa-Laziomatch valid for the 33rd matchday of Serie A, it ended with a score of 0-1 as a result of Luis Alberto’s decisive goal. With this result the Biancocelesti continue to climb up the table and fight for a place in the European cups. Below are the votes for the protagonists of the match.

MARTINEZ 6 – Nice save on Luis Alberto. He is far too carefree with his feet, often scaring his teammates and coach.

DE WINTER 5 – Not really an artist on a technical level, he compensates with physical presence but in some circumstances he is too approximate: a slip during game time was especially serious, overall he appears too shaky.

VASQUEZ 6.5 – He puts Castellanos in his pocket, trapping him in a vice from which the Biancoceleste center forward is never able to free himself. Always dangerous in the area on dead balls.

WISH 5.5 – Composed effort to protect the penalty area, but he remains too still for the goal, allowing himself to be mocked by Vecino’s veil.

From 79′ SABELLI sv – Not judgeable.

SPENCE 6 – Perpetual motion on the lane. In the open field he has the legs of a sprinter and he demonstrates it by often stripping his direct opponent. More concentrated than usual in the defensive phase, even if Felipe Anderson found a hole between his legs on the goal.

FRENDRUP 5.5 – He clears lots of balls, covering the entire field and running like a madman. But on goal he is the one who gets caught from behind by Kamada, effectively causing the entire Genoa defense to collapse.

From 89′ THORSBY sv – Not judgeable.

STROOTMAN 5.5 – The excessive physical power of the golden times is a distant memory. As soon as the more qualitative Lazio players take over he runs into trouble, no longer being able to filter.

From 68′ BADELJ 5.5 – He comes in to put phosphorus in the maneuver and lead a possible reaction, but he makes too many mistakes for his standards.

GUDMUNDSSON 6 – It acts a few meters further back than usual, turning on only intermittently. When he invents, however, Genoa always increases the engine gears.

MARTIN 6 – A couple of nice crosses and above all a balanced and careful effort to guard the left side. Tactically valuable.

EKUBAN 5 – Too many wasted opportunities, including a sensational one in the first half, tarnished a performance that was actually positive in line with the growth shown in recent weeks. The missed goal in the first half weighs most heavily on him.

From 68′ ANKEYE 5.5 – Never dangerous, he grazes between the midfield and left wing but never manages to make a difference.

RETEGUI 6 – He fights a lot, engaging in rustic duels in turn with each Lazio defender. You can’t see much under the goal, but his spirit of sacrifice alone earns him a pass.

All. GILARDINO 5.5 – His Genoa stings and, above all, doesn’t take advantage of the few truly important opportunities. Forced to move Gudmundsson back due to too many absences, he cannot find a way to add propulsion to the offensive maneuver during the match in progress.

MANDAS 6 – Courageous in his outings, he doesn’t have to get his gloves particularly dirty between the posts.

PATRIC 6 – He isn’t particularly stressed, with Genoa attacking much more from the other side of the penalty area. Up front he is one of the few who tries to connect with the more attacking players.

FARMHOUSE 5 – Overwhelmed in duels by Retegui, who is also very approximate from a technical point of view: he never gives confidence and also appears light on a mental level.

From 46′ ROMAGNOLI 6 – A completely different story compared to his unfortunate companion. Well inside the game with his head, he fights with Retegui keeping him away from the area.

GILA 6 – He has to work overtime on Retegui and also manage the liveliness of Ekuban. She also does well in dealing with the various placements in her area of ​​expertise.

MARUSIC 6 – Balanced, he doesn’t particularly shine but at least he tries to give support to his teammates in the rare cases in which Lazio tries to present themselves vertically.

VECINO 6.5 – Rough and effective, as usual. He proves to be important for the balance of the team and his performance is decisive on the occasion of Luis Alberto’s goal: a play of great intelligence and sensitivity.

KAMADA 6.5 – Beyond the assist there is a player rediscovered, first and foremost in terms of personality. Tudor revitalized it, placing it badly at the center of his board: the choice, for now, is paying off.

LAZZARI 5.5 – Abundant half an hour of suffering and errors: sloppy on crosses, in defense he suffers in the speed duel with the lively Spence. He is out due to injury.

From 36′ HYSAJ 6 – Good contribution in both phases. It doesn’t steal the eye under any circumstances, but overall it makes itself useful.

FELIPE ANDERSON 6 – The illuminating ball with which he triggers Kamada to score saves an otherwise decidedly gray match. However, with his quality he manages to leave his mark once again.

From 68′ PEDRO 6 – He helps lift the team up by holding on to some heavy balls at the end.

LUIS ALBERTO 7 – As soon as he decides to increase the pace, all of Lazio suddenly becomes another team. Different player, problematic yet enlightened. Above all, essential, not only for the goal: he is the beating heart of the Biancocelesti.

From 86′ ROVELLA sv – Not judgeable.

CASTELLANOS 5 – Center forward invisible in every area of ​​the pitch, he never takes it either in the attacking midfield or in the penalty area. Today he is very far from being a top-class striker.

From 68′ CATALDI 6 – His freshness helps Lazio manage the result, without losing their bearings in the middle of the pitch.

All. TUDOR 6.5 – This Lazio team lacks a lot to be a one-and-done team, but in the meantime they have rediscovered the most important thing: results. There was also a difficult success against Genoa, which was good for morale and the standings.
