In two and a half years he has changed 5 teams, now the new start in Udine. With the dream of finding blue
A little companion and a little opponent, time has always accompanied Nicolò’s career Zaniolo. Before he took him (to his opponents), he burned him, he seemed to him even slowly flowed too slowly compared to everything he had in mind to do in football. Then, however, Things have changed and Nicolò suddenly discovered that he was late and no longer in advance. Chasing time is tiring but indispensable also because one year you can lose it, two is not the case, three are an affront to the talent granted as a gift and never cultivated enough.
Too many changes
–
Udine is the ideal city for those who want to stabilize and get back on the bubble. Zaniolo is 26 years old who, for a player, is that age in which you realize you are at the crossroads: making a mistake means taking a without exit that borders you forever in the neighborhood of those who have to settle for alive to the margins of great football. The choice to start from Udine is a good demonstration of humility. Nicolò ensures that he finds himself very well in the new team, the fifth since he left Roma in February 2023. More than normal transfers seemed research: of himself as well as a place to put the pieces together. Galatasaray, Aston Villa, Atalanta, Fiorentina: too many changestoo many news for a boy who mainly needs stability. In Udine he could find it and Kosta Runjaic seems satisfied, at least for now: “Nicolò is improving every day, you can see that he has a different rhythm than when he had just arrived – explained the coach of the Friulians -. Second tip more than external, more close to a door that seems smaller and smaller since In Serie to Zaniolo he has not marked since 14 December 2024goal with the Atalanta shirt against Cagliari. And the Sardinians are today’s opponent in a game to which the update asks for the first home victory of the championship and also a clear turnaround compared to the recent past. Since March, the bianconeri balance has been ten defeats in 15 games: nobody did worse. Today a mini-ride of races opens that will give clear indications on the prospects of the season: after Cagliari, Udinese will challenge Cremonese away and Lecce at home, three significant tests for the team and obviously for Zaniolo.
Continuity
–
One of Nicolò’s objectives is the return to the national team. Rino Gattuso is convening many offensive exteriors, for the next two challenge qualifying challenges he called Cambiaghi, Orsolini, Politano and Zaccagni, with church in Preallarm. Zaniolo has not worn the blue shirt since March 24, 2024last of the nineteen appearances with Italy. The run -up is certainly complicated but a high performance, perhaps accompanied by some goals, could convince the technical commissioner. And we return to the starting point, at the lost time that no longer returns and the need not to wasted anymore. So far Cagliari has been defeated only by Naples and Inter, it will not be a soft opponent. Runjaic finds Bayo and Buksa, but the owners will be Davis and Zaniolo. For Nicolò it is the second race in a row from the first minute: it hadn’t happened since February. A very small sign of continuity, the one you need to start believing in the rebirth.
