Final result: Monza-Juventus 1-2
By Gregory 6 – Not guilty of Birindelli's goal, he manages the balls served to him by his teammates well, starting the action with quality. The save on Bianco at the start of the second half is simple, but it had to be done and it enhances his performance.
Savona 6 – It's not the right match to push and be seen going forward, he understands this, he doesn't make mistakes and defends Di Gregorio's goal with his teeth. Even from these things you can see that it is growing.
Gatti 6 – Perhaps he was expecting a simpler match, but instead he is often involved, despite Djuric's absence. It handles the impact as best it can without any flaw and guides the rear section with firmness.
Rabbit 5.5 – There are many situations in which he is not flawless and appears insecure. Slow and awkward with the ball at his feet, especially at the start, he misplaced himself on Birindelli's goal: McKennie looks at him well before Carboni's cross, the two change positions, but he is clearly late on the Brianza right winger.
McKennie 7 – Those who expected a subdued performance from the Texan because he was employed out of role immediately changed their minds because in the 14th minute the American had already clocked in. An opportunist when scoring, he also had a hand in the move that led to the 2-1. Decisive. From 91' Fagioli sv
Locatelli 6.5 – He is now a certainty there in front of the defense and Juventus benefits from his maturation. He dictates the timing in the control room and is very good at encouraging Nico Gonzalez's goal by covering the ball from an opponent and allowing him to deposit the ball in the net.
Shopkeepers 6.5 – Another good performance in the midfield by the Dutchman who also has the merit of taking the corner kick which gave rise to McKennie's 1-0. Before going out due to an adductor problem at half-time he found time to sacrifice himself and block an opponent's shot. Growing. From 46' Thuram 6 – He comes in, puts himself in front of the defense and gives a little more solidity to the midfield.
Conceição 6 – By now everyone knows that he is lethal one-on-one and for this reason he is constantly doubled when he has the ball. Stopping him is complicated, but it doesn't determine how much it seems like he can do seeing him aim for the man. The way he goes in opposition to Carboni's cross which gives birth to Birindelli's 1-1 is too soft. From '85' Adzic sv
Nico Gonzalez 7,5 – Enterprising, proactive, lively. He scores the goal that decides the match and this alone would earn him the award for best on the pitch, but his match is also enriched by many initiatives, some retreats and the personality of the leader who wants every ball to pass through his feet. More man. From 64' Cambiaso 6 – Not at his best, he applies himself and gives everything for the team. Nobody can reproach him for anything.
star 6 – When he manages to remain constant for the entire 90 minutes he will probably become a top player at world level, but for now he isn't and the Bianconeri have to be satisfied, so to speak, with the breaks he gives every now and then. Not one of his best nights, but still functional for his team's game.
Vlahovic 5 – He applies himself, he moves a lot, even more than usual, but the result is really poor and the commitment is not enough. He never kicks towards the goal and never overtakes his direct opponent in duels. One wonders what he has to complain about on the bench after the substitution with 5 minutes left. The hope is that he was nervous for other reasons. From '85' Translation sv
Thiago Motta 6 – Often when Juventus won in the past they did so convincingly, today not, but perhaps it's not such bad news after all. Finally the Bianconeri get 3 dirty points, which is a positive sign, but some corrections are still needed. He puts McKennie at fullback and he repays him with the goal, he was right this time too.
