Udinese Calcio Puns

Another 3 points in the bag. After the loss against Hellas Verona, the team had to react to resume our march forward, maintain our position in the head of the table and regain confidence before the derby. Mission completed, not without pain. We started very well, hitting the post twice, playing high, huge pressing , regaining possession quickly, then leading by Calafiori's amazing run and assist for Abraham. After that, we tried to control the game by letting Udinese play and the second half was difficult for us. As a Mourinhista, that's a kind of game i saw several times at Tottenham. Starting well, leading, then dropping back, leave the ball to the opposition, then they started regaining confidence and they come back on the scoreline. Spurs was THE(or one of the )team losing the most points after leading a game last season. This is the kind of victory Mourinho loves, clean sheet, the opposition tried our defense, we resisted, gave them the sensation that they can't score even if the referee allowed us much more time to play. In my opinion it's dangerous due to the profile of the team, because we are a young team, and playing on the edge like that it's unsafe. Anyway, after Verona, we needed a reaction and the team reacted well by the intentions, the pressing and the work rate. The team gave us some good answers to the questions after the Verona game.

Tops : Mancini, Ibanez, Calafiori, Mkhitaryan,Abraham

Flop : Pellegrini

*Mancini: After a difficult game against Verona, he came back at his level, strong in the duel, brave enough to clear Udinese's open goal. Played with huge concentration and détermination. Good

*Ibañez: To be honest, him and Eldor are my favourites players in the team. Ibañez is an amazing defender in the technical point of view and being coached by Mourinho could only strengthen him. Quick, good passing rate, composed on the ball, he played a amazing first half. After Calafiori's exit, he played as a stability left back to controll an euphoric Soppy.

*Calafiori: 70 minutes at good intensity. One assist by that amazing run. He made us happy and proud. Still soft in the duel against Delofeu and Perreyra. These kind of game are priceless for his growth.

*Mkhitaryan: That's a proper game  i want him to play on a regular basis. In my opinion Miki should be the our main creative strength due to his talent and his experience. I was tired of seeing him lose easy ball, missing easy passes and not creating enough. He's the most experienced

Great season and this team are so enjoyable to play with. 3rd place finish was much better than I expected at the start of the season and made it to the national cup final too but lost to Inter.

Batshuayi has been a goal machine since replacing Lasagna who got the chance to go play Champions League after 30 league goals in season one.

I position swapped Pezzella because he reminded me so much of a Bale at LB and Skov was a big-money signing who just didn't work out on the wing. Both seem much better in their new positions. Some great young talents too who come in for cup games or off the bench.

Definitely going to be looking at strengthening at CB and GK for the new season as conceded too many goals.

The Pozzo family decides to change the philosophy to the season 18/19 e trust the management of the team to the coach Igor Tudor. The Croatian receives the ok to guide and command the transfer market as well if he control properly the team’s budget and always look wisely to the youth academy and the huge number of worldwide scouts.

Convicted to the change and following his convictions, the 3-5-2 became the 4-1-2-1-2 with De Paul as an “enganche” as they say in Argentina, makes the perfect job for the number 10.

###A.S. Roma vs. Udinese Calcio Yes this match is tomorrow, but since it is a midweek match I figured I would make this thread today to give us ample time to discuss. I will update this throughout the day and tomorrow morning.

 

Time: 20:45 CEST/ 15:45 EST

Location: Stadio Olimpico, Rome

Referee: Carmine Russo Last match Carpi v. Torino 10/3/15 (3 yellow cards)

 

Background:

• Rudi pre-match interview

• CdT match preview post/discussion

• Final training session

• Stats from prior match ups

• We are now two points clear of Napoli, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio, who are all level on 18 points after nine games played (fuck yes)

• After we catapulted to the top of the league table with our recent win on Sunday (6-1-2, 20 points), we are now set to clash with lowly Udinese Calcio (3-4-2, 11 points) to try and stretch our winning run to five games.

• Udinese has only scored 9 times in 9 games with a -2 goal differential (4th worst offensive production in the league), where as we have netted 22 times in 9 games with a +11 goal differential.

• Last season’s corresponding fixture between the two sides finished 2-1 to the Giallorossi, with Torosidis netting a second half winner, after Radja had earlier equalized Perica's opener for the away side. The Giallorossi also won the away fixture at the Stadio Friuli in January 1-0 thanks to a goal from Astori.

• Tomorrow's match is the 89th contest overall between Roma and Udinese, considering both home and away games. The Giallorossi have racked up 42 victories, 25 ties and 21 losses. The total goals tally reads 157 (Roma) to 102 (Udinese).

• Rudi Garcia has won all four games against Udinese since taking over.

• With the suspension of DDR, and Totti's lingering injury woes we will likely see Florenzi start as the captain.

• Last 10 meetings: 7 - 1 - 2
