The report cards of Malmo (by Andrea Piras)
Diawara 5,5 – Unlucky on Dybala’s penalty, blameless on the other goals. In some situations it is not stylistically beautiful but effective while in other situations it appears insecure.
Ahmedhodzic 6 – He notices late that Alex Sandro is free to strike in the center of the box on Cuadrado’s cross and fails to prevent his opponent from scoring the 1-0 goal. However, he appears to be the safest of the Swedish rearguard.
Nielsen 5 – He tries unsuccessfully to intercept Cuadrado’s cross from the right which then leads to Alex Sandro’s goal, naively holds Morata for the penalty that is worth 2-0 for Juve and ends his nightmare evening by clashing with Brorsson on the occasion of the 3 -0.
Brorsson 5.5 – The attack of Allegri’s formation puts him in difficulty. On the third Juventus goal he lacks communication with Nielsen clashing with his teammate and paving the way for the 3-0.
Berget 5 – Alex Sandro makes him have a bad night. He has responsibility for the 1-0 goal, leaving Juventus the freedom to hit his head and overtake Diawara.
Innocent 5,5 – It is always called into question when building the ball action on the ground. He tries to keep his team flag high but even for him it is not an easy evening (Dal 75′ Nanasi sv)
Christiansen 6 – He runs a lot in midfield going to press the Juventus ball carriers. Fight even if he commits some technical inaccuracy in the refining phase of the action.
opponent 5 – He, too, several errors in the finishing phase. He is unable to slow down the descents of Juventus. Little is seen in the interdiction phase and does not help the team when it has to propose the action (From 59 ‘Nalic 6 – Enter with a widely compromised result. Does his).
Rieks 5 – Try to bring the stadium down with a volley from Berget’s cross in the first half. For the rest not much stuff, it drops as the minutes go by, leaving too much space for Cuadrado who goes like a train on his band.
Colak 5 – He is practically never seen in attack. He is closed by the Juventus rearguard who never allows him to be dangerous towards Szczesny’s goal.
Birmancevic 6 – One of the few to escape. He moves a lot on the attack front, he tries the conclusion every time there is space. The will is not lacking on a difficult evening (Dal 60′ Abubakari 6 – Try to put his own in an attempt to create headaches for the Juventus defense. It also helps the comrades in the folding phase).
Tomasson 5 – He does not start badly with his team looking for the phrasing of the ball on the ground. But the technical difference can be seen and once Alex Sandro uncorked the match, he was no longer able to stem Juventus.
The Juventus report cards (by Marco Conterio)
Szczesny 6.5 At the first, and also at the second step back, bad thoughts were inevitable for every spectator of the game. Passed exam: Tek comes out unscathed from the away match at Malmo home. Not making mistakes after the hurricane of the last days in which he had slipped was not obvious.
Danilo 6.5 Tactical equalizer from Juventus, he easily transforms a four-man defense into a three-man rearguard. Tetris tactical champion of Juventus, keeps the dangerous Birmancevic at bay.
Bonucci 6.5 Allegri hands him one tactical bignami after another. How to expand, how to manage, how to restart the action. He sculls and draws from the sidelines. He executes, captain without a sash.
De Ligt 6.5 The Malmo press box offers a privileged position, practically on the sidelines: it has the physique of a statue, the brilliance of an Olympian and to overcome it, for poor Colak, is much more than a medal feat. (from 86 ‘Rugani sv)
Alex Sandro 7 The pike with which he harpoons the desperate Juventus depression and throws it at the bottom of the net of the Malmo stadium is worth a lot. It is a gore that sounds like a restart for the bianconeri.
Square 7 When he sways and dances his right foot, Rieks looks like he is on the stage of a dance hall. His assist for Alex Sandro, his yet another all-out winger performance among the best ever. (dall’82 ‘Kulusevski All)
Bentancur 6 Trots and often wedges between the jerseys but still not as much as Allegri would like from him. Christensen is an awkward customer who often forces him to get rid of the ball quickly. (from 67 ‘McKennie 6 Distracted on a couple of easy supports, otherwise he does not make mistakes and enters the slow mood of the second half of the Bianconeri brand)
Locatelli 6 He always seems to have a clear idea of what to do and how to do it. Sometimes he succeeds, others less, but he is starting to play with the maturity that this level requires. First Champions, baptism passed.
6.5 At Matuidi, even without having a Ronaldo for which to double the work in the defensive phase, he lacks the inspiration in the first steps. But when it gallops vertically, it always gives the impression of being able to become one day what you thought it should already be.
Dybala 6.5 Often low to catch the ball but with two mastiffs on her heels, Joya sometimes gets lost in the green Swedish grasslands. But he takes two away, always, and leaves his in constant superiority. And when it ignites, and invents, it is a delight. (dall’82’ Ramsey sv)
Morata 7 The goal is a pure counter-attacker: Allegri sometimes reproaches him for not filling the area but in fact it is not his job: he goes to meet, widens and creates spaces. Game of high technical and tactical depth. (from 68 ‘Kean 6 He enters and after a few minutes he scores but Dias cancels for offside. Inexcusable: Juve had taken their foot off the accelerator)
Allegri 6.5 Continuous indications to Bonucci and the full backs, to widen and accelerate the game. Preach calm, his mantra. Then when he asks to speed up his people listen to him and overwhelm Malmo. A new start.
