Florence, 19 December 2024 – Vitoria Guimaraes-Fiorentina 1-1, here are the votes:
Terracciano 6 – Defuses a tirade from Kaio Cesar by lying on his left. Another great save from Gustavo Silva in the second half which keeps the hopes of a comeback alive. Good at not touching G. Silva in the area, who was then booked. I’ll stick with a couple of conclusions.
Dodo 6 – Be careful in the diagonals and in covering the area where Nuno Santos, a more talented man than his opponents, continuously operates. He sacrifices himself by covering and running, with some dispersion. He puts himself at the service of others and produces the assist that is worth the liberating draw. Comuzzo – He isn’t clear in his exit and Kaio Cesar takes advantage of this to cut the Viola defense in two. What is surprising is the lack of tranquility in managing simple situations. He exits at the beginning of the second half.
From the 46th minute Ranieri 6 – It suffers little, adds solidity without great dangers.
Martinez Quarta 4.5 – Manages the rearguard expertly, sending Ikone through on goal, with little ‘luck’. He seems to start in the best way until he makes a double mistake on the occasion of the goal because he remains low and not in line, only to then lose G. Silva a stone’s throw from Terracciano. He combines another couple of messes that would have made an already complex race all uphill.
Parisi 5,5 – Scholastic, with little tendency to take initiatives, probably because he is more worried about Nuno Santos’ race and restarts, suffering more than normal in unraveling some breaks.
Dal 75′ Gosens 6 – Adds experience to the bladed weapon at the end.
Mandragora 6.5 – The purple midfielder tries to free the line from worries when Victoria Guimaraes takes the field and courage. But he finds little collaboration especially in the first part of the match. He doesn’t give up and fuels the offensive action even in an area that isn’t his, such as the left wing. It is from there, however, that the draw eventually resumes, pushing Fiorentina into third place. Half a vote more for the goal
Richardson 5 – Some inaccuracies in setting immediately at the start of the game. He misses a couple of tackles and this affects him for the rest of the half. He tries to stay afloat, but you can see that he can’t find rhythm and position, despite not making any serious mistakes.
Dal 46′ Adli 6 – His presence is essential in the purple engine, even in difficult races like this.
Icons 5 – The usual Jorko who unwraps a chocolate and instead of eating it puts it in his pocket with obvious repercussions. He doesn’t get a good one like in the last period and even Europe remains indigestible to him.
Dal 57′ Colpani 5.5 – Leaves few traces.
Gudmundsson 5.5 – A weakened custom-built car that runs with the engine idling but without a real focus, because it plays too much with its back to the goal and this doesn’t benefit it. On the contrary. He calls for the ball to have it at his feet and is not always supported.
Dal 57′ Kean 5.5 – After a few minutes Beltran puts it in front of the goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper saves himself by remaining standing
Beltran 5,5 – It’s not Bove, even if it has to replace him in the game idea. The characteristics are different while trying to make a contribution in the two phases. More lively in the second half. Nice pass that Kean doesn’t exploit.
Column 5 – Starts by messing up a potential opportunity and continues by making mistakes, even simple supports. So much confusion even though the commitment is never lacking. A test that sounds like another chance not exploited in the right way.
All. Palladino – Mission accomplished and this is the most important aspect. Like seeing him on the bench again. He wants to play it at the beginning, saving some players as much as possible, relaunching Gudmundsson from the first minute. Not everything works in the first part of the race and with the changes he tries to make up for it and succeeds.
