Denzel Dumfries borrowed one of the most famous Denzel's old lives. The one where he plays the coach of a Virginia football team in “Taste of Victory.” He took the field with hungry eyes and transformed into one of the boys coached by Herman Boone, the coach of the “Titans” with the serious face of Denzel Washington. Dumfries, the bright-eyed boy who passed through Aruba, played one of the best matches of his Nerazzurri life against Lazio.

He crushed Tavares – one of the best full-backs in Europe in terms of performance in these first months -, he sank several times on the right and was the protagonist in three out of six goals. In the first he caused Gigot's penalty by standing a couple of meters above him, then he provided the assist to Dimarco and finally he headed the ball, jumping over the shoulders of Baroni's Portuguese winger. The exclamation point. At the end of the match he showed up in the press room and responded in English, calm and calm, as if his match had not been of a high standard. Strategy, perhaps: “I'm proud, but we have to keep working. And I have to thank Bastoni for the goal.” The best central defender in Europe in terms of numbers: four assists in the season. Nobody like him.

Dumfries is a lock pick that is always handy. This year he has scored two goals and provided one assist in 16 matches between the championship and the Champions League, where Inzaghi started him in four out of five matches. In Serie A, however, he was a starter on six out of eleven occasions, leaving room for Darmian in the other matches. Woe betide anyone talking about turnover, though. He and Matteo are different players: Denzel is more offensive, more technical, more inclined to offend than defend, while the former Toro is his nemesis. A reliable joker. Against Lazio, however, Dumfries plowed down the flank with a cynicism never seen before. He only touched 14 balls, but provided an assist, scored a goal and caused a penalty. The plaque of merit is his.
