Udinese-Salernitana 0-0, Perez’s madness leaves Sottil in 10

From our correspondent Francesco Velluzzi

August 20
– Udine

It ends zero to zero. Udinese and Salernitana move the ranking. But the point serves above all to the Campania who, indeed, should have taken three because they played all the second in 11 against 10 for the expulsion of Nehuen Perez, also deployed by Sottil from fifth to right, a role not for him.

Nicola, who also passed through here, had to dare more, believe it, throw more fuel into the engine and instead he played as usual, waiting, more careful to keep the draw than to look for a victory that he could have obtained against a ‘ Udinese that shows evident difficulties in attack. Beto remains on the bench for almost seventy minutes, Nestorovski, the only true center forward, remains stuck to us for now.

Udinese pampered its 11659 subscribers, Salernitana has many supporters in its segment and is accompanied by the staff led by president Danilo Iervolino. In Udine, Gino Pozzo, head of the market from London, met again in the stands. Before the start, the director of the Udinese technical area Pierpaolo Marino hands over the celebratory shirt to Rodrigo Becao for his 100 appearances with the club.

Via we play. Sottil starts with the move he sensed last night: Nehuen Perez, fifth, upper right winger, with Becao, Bijol and Masina behind. It doesn’t seem like a great card to play. Nicola is missing five at the start, because Lassana Coulibaly has also joined Ribery, Pirola, Lovato, Kastanos. So the move is to bring Radovanovic back to midfield after a second life as a central defensive player. He is not a director, but a balancer and he hits Tore in front of the defense. The new signings Maggiore and Vilhena have the task of unleashing and inserting themselves. Candreva and Mazzocchi the one to grind on the flanks. The team got off to a good start, but in the 5th minute there was the episode that could turn the game around. Pereyra (always above the others) recovers the ball, serves Udogie who sends him deep to the left. Cross and Bronn intervenes with the arm. Aureliano has no doubts and points to the disk, but Nasca sends it to the monitor and, obviously, the decision changes. No rigor. Bewilderment, but it goes on. And after 4 ‘on a sharp offside shot by Bonazzoli Silvestri, he performs one of his usual miracles. Then he also opposes Fazio. While before the half hour Udinese must give up Bijol, who had done well, because a kick from Botheim sends him out. It is Nuytinck’s turn, who became the father of a little girl this week. The bianconeri take the field, they have one more man, Pereyra, while Nicola plays his usual game of waiting. Sepe is good twice on Deulofeu, making up for his own messes. But the Catalan does not sting, when he tries his dribbles he is doubled. At 49 ‘with 5’ of recovery, another episode that can give the turning point: Mazzocchi recover the ball in defense and flies alone and with the team in superiority. Nehuen Perez knocks him out as a beginner and Aureliano sends him to take a shower.

The changes are fundamental: Nicola dares to throw in Dia for a Botheim who gave very little and Bradaric for Radovanovic, while Sottil inserts Lovric for Makengo. But no, it changes fundamentally: 3-4-2. Mind Nicola brings Bradaric left outside and moves Mazzocchi to the right to duet with Candreva mezzala and Porta Maggiore in the center. Mazzocchi continues to rage, but it is Walace who has a great ball from the edge. He kicks badly. Candreva does better, but finds the usual Silvestri. After 25 ‘Sottil removes the evanescent Success and throws Beto into the fray (a change that had to be done before). The Portuguese flies away immediately. The Salerno woman has one more man, but it is as if she did not have one. The attitude remains expectant. And it is inexplicable. So much so that on a well recovered ball the excellent Lovric launches Deulofeu who is spread out on the edge of the area by Fazio. And the great chance for the Catalan who kicks badly low from the ground ends his game, replaced by Arslan. He also finishes the race with an equal who does not please anyone.
