REPORT CARDS ATALANTA
Gollini 6 – There is also a half uncertainty about him in Lozano’s 2-1 but a few minutes later he makes up for it with a half miracle on Osimhen.
Toloi 6 – He holds his position knowing that on his side there is a non-owner who must be kept an eye on. His experience is always right.
Palomino 6 – Takes a yellow card almost immediately for a foul by Lozano, then manages his game with the great experience that he finds. He risks red and goes out.
(Dal 27’ st Caldara 6 – Takes position well, without particular smudges).
–
Djimsiti 6 – Usual precision in the closings, usual cleanliness in restarting the action from behind, until he commits an uncertainty on Lozano’s 2-1.
Sutalo 6 – Lined up owner surprisingly due to the absence of the other outsiders, he falls pretty well in the part and makes his figure.
De Roon 7 – Handles balls with the classic tactical skill, lengthens and shortens, accelerates and slows down like a real conductor.
Freuler 6,5 – Quantity and quality together as always for a player who always manages to give one hundred percent of himself.
Gosens 6,5 – It does not have the devastating power that is known to it, but even in this case it moves with intelligence and dynamism.
Pessina 7,5 – The role of attacking midfielder is definitely the one that suits him best, for his ability to play defensive and offensive phases. Perfect insertion for the 2-0. But much more spectacular is the 3-1 goal with a delicious touch on Ospina’s exit.
(Dal 45’ st Pasalic – sv).
Muriel 6 – He sacrifices a lot and as often happens when he plays as a starter, it takes a while to get into the game.
(Dall’11’ st Ilicic 6.5 – Come in and create, exactly what is expected of him. His left always makes the ball sing).
Zapata 7 – He unlocks it with a torpedo after less than ten minutes, confirming a versatility that leads him to score in every way. But also to give assists like that of Pessina’s 2-0. And then to get free kick shots.
All.: Gasperini 7 – He puts in the usual intensity, the usual desire to push his players.
REPORT CARDS NAPLES
Ospina 6 – When he has to act between the posts, especially in the second half, he answers present. Usual illuminations when he has to raise his foot.
Di Lorenzo 5 – He seems to have lost the verve that led him to enjoy great consideration by the Italian coach Mancini. Never convinced in his advances.
Maksimovic 5 – The proximity of Rrahmani certainly does not help him, but between the game of football and the game of beautiful figurines there are different degrees of separation.
Rrahmani 5.5 – Hot ball between the feet and difficulty in coordination with the rest of the defense. He never plays and you understand why.
Hysaj 5 – The player from Sarri’s times is only a distant memory, even more so when he is deployed on the left.
(Dal 41’ st Mario Rui 6 – A little more present than Hysaj, one or more used to covering the right wing with authority).
Diamond 6 – The least negative of the midfield, especially when he decides to go and lend a hand in the defensive phase, while with the team in possession he always finds clogged spaces.
(Dal 1’ st Politano 5.5 – Try to help with the team leaning forward, but this is not an easy position to manage).
Bakayoko 5.5 – He sinks in the first half when De Roon and Freuler take him in the middle at a frenzied pace, he fails to stem the fury of the Bergamo players. Then the imperious tear yields the 2-1 goal.
(Dal 19’ st Demme 6 – Enter well, more quantitative than Bakayoko, at least on this occasion, carry on the action that could give the 2-2).
Zielinski 5 – Lost in the middle of Gasperini’s road rollers, it handles balloons with difficulty and does not provide the quality that we are used to seeing it offer.
(Dal 19’ st Lobotka 5.5 – He gets in the middle of the field but it’s not easy to find space with Atalanta’s rhythms).
Lozano 6 – Initial blaze with a couple of ideas that deceive, then it remains entangled in the defense meshes and disappears until it reappears for the 2-1 goal.
Osimhen 5 – He takes them and gives them, nudges them and makes a door, but from a qualitative point of view he doesn’t make a great contribution.
(Dal 34’ st Petagna sv).
Badge 5.5 – Turn away from the Bergamo defense giants, try a bit from a distance but without great construct.
All.: Gattuso 5,5 – Give your opponents a full time, then try to reopen it with an organized chaos that also brings some results.
