At the end of the second day of Serie A, here are the players who stood out the most according to the ratings and comments of Gazzetta dello Sport, Italy’s leading sports newspaper.
Midfielder Adrian Bernabé – Parma (8)
Much better known for his touch and number 10 style. But we already knew he could play. Excellent in the non-possession phase.
Forward Che Adams – Torino (8)
Seems like he’s been in this team forever, even though he started as a regular. Luscious assist to Ilic, then the coup de grace with a killer instinct.
Goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic – Torino (8)
Huge dive to neutralize Pasalic’s penalty. Other saves, with his foot on Ederson and one-on-one against Retegui. Spectacular.
Torino’s Ivan Ilic (8)
It’s immediately clear that he’s on a roll, and he’s becoming unstoppable. Delicious dive for the equaliser, part of the 2-1 scoreline. The best Ilic in a while.
They deserve a quote
With scores of 7.5, they include Kvaratskhelia (Napoli), Thauvin (Udinese), Pavlovic (Milan), Linetty, Zapata and Ricci (Torino), Cutrone (Como), Vlahovic and Savona (Juventus).
