Juventus-Cagliari 4-0: the report cards of the match
Di Gregorio 7: his save on Lapadula after just 38 seconds most likely changes the history of the match.
Savona 5.5: awkward with the ball at his feet, sometimes distracted in the defensive phase.
Locatelli 6.5: from added defender to real defender (at least for part of the match). It combines substance with character, once again showing great flexibility.
Kalulu 7: this Juventus, to date, cannot do without him. Defensively perfect.
McKennie 6.5: deployed in the unusual role of full-back, he is a little less dynamic than usual, but carries out the tasks requested by Thiago Motta diligently.
Thuram 6: as Gianni Morandi said, “you can give more”. He plays, recovers a few balls and shows off with some “rips”. The feeling, however, is that he always lacks the right spark to be decisive.
Koopmeiners 6: saved by the wonderful free kick that brings Juventus 2-0. Until then, an anonymous performance from the former Atalanta player (Gatti 6 from 57′).
Mbangula 6: you don’t see much. He contributed to the 1-0 goal by serving Yildiz.
Yildiz 6.5: he switches on and off several times during the match, but after a difficult start, he transmits the constant feeling of being dangerous. He serves the ball to Vlahovic on the goal of Juventus’ first lead (from 65′ Nico Gonzalez 7: scores a superb goal in the 90th minute).
Conceicao 7.5: yet another superlative performance from the Portuguese, a constant thorn in the side of Cagliari’s defence. Juventus man of the match by separation (from 80′ Adzic sv)
Vlahovic 7: the 1-0 goal comes from a predator of the penalty area. Find two more goals, both disallowed for offside. He misses a few too many chances, but his performance is decidedly positive (from the 80th minute Weah SV).
All. Thiago Motta 6.5
Cagliari (4-4-1-1): Scuffet 5.5; Zappa 6 (from 68′ Azzi 6), Wieteska 5, Palomino 5.5, Augello 5; Zortea 6, Deiola 6 (from 82′ Adopo sv), Marin 5.5 (from 54′ Felici 6), Prati 6; Gaetano 5.5 (from 68′ Piccoli 5.5), Lapadula 6.5 (from 68′ Pavoletti 5.5). Coach: Davide Nicola 5.
