The first Saturday advance of Serie A, Udinese-Atalanta, ended 1-0 for the home team. The match winner of the day is Nicolò Zaniolo, former player of the match.

The white-and-blacks interrupt the positive streak of the Dea and after defeating Inter, they beat another black-and-blue team. Three very important points for Runjaic who returns to victory after the defeat against Juventus.

Udinese-Atalanta 1-0, decided by former player Zaniolo

The Friulian team immediately imposed itself in terms of play, bringing several dangers to Carnesecchi with Bayo and Atta in particular. The reaction of Atalanta was partial, with a not in top form Scamacca despite being deployed from the start. The number 9 offered a good performance in terms of ball control and build-up play but was not incisive enough in the offensive phase.

The first half did not see any significant opportunities, except for the goal disallowed to Sulemana for offside at the end of the half. However, the turning point came in injury time when an incursion from the left by Kamara ended with an assist to the center of the area for Zaniolo, who with his left foot almost scored a penalty in motion and outsmarted Carnesecchi.

In the second half, Juric sent Krstovic, Lookman, and De Ketalaere onto the field but the music did not change; on the contrary, many errors in possession often opened up dangerous counterattacks for Udinese, who however were not able to exploit them to the fullest.

At the Bluenergy Stadium, the positive streak of Atalanta is thus broken, losing their unbeaten record in Serie A and remaining at 13 points. A significant leap for the white-and-blacks who reach the 8th place with 15 points.

In the next matchday, Udinese will be a guest of Roma on Sunday, November 9, while the Dea will host Sassuolo.

After a period of absence, Stanislav Lobotka and Noa Lang are ready to return to the field, bringing a breath of optimism among Napoli fans. The Neapolitan team is preparing to face Como in a match that promises to be decisive to maintain the pace in the league. Lobotka, a talented midfielder, is known for his ability to control the game and dictate the tempo, while Lang, a dynamic forward, adds depth and creativity to the blue attack.

Impact on Napoli’s game

The return of Lobotka and Lang represents a significant reinforcement for the coach, who will be able to rely on a more complete and competitive squad. Lobotka’s presence in the middle of the field will ensure stability and fluidity in Napoli’s play, while Lang will offer new offensive solutions, thanks to his speed and dribbling ability. The match against Como will be an important test for the Neapolitan team, which aims to consolidate its position in the standings and keep pace with the top teams.

The arrival of Luciano Spalletti at Juventus could lead to a series of changes in the team, but, above all, a revaluation of the attackers.

Juventus could step up – with Spalletti’s style – and reevaluate certain players like Dusan Vlahovic, who may consider adjusting his salary in exchange for an upgrade in attack.

Every coach has their own peculiarities and Spalletti has the merit of having done very well with attackers in his coaching career. Of course, there have also been negative aspects, like the rather conflictual relationship with Francesco Totti, but – precisely Totti – was the most performing attacker he had.

Let’s take a look at the names of the strikers who have excelled in the coaching career of the Certaldo-born coach (a town near Florence). We have:

1) Francesco Totti, 100 goals in 190 appearances

2) Aleksandr Kerzhakov, 59 goals in 135 appearances

3) Victor Osimhen, 49 goals in 71 appearances

4) Mauro Icardi, 46 goals in 73 appearances…

With this attitude towards attackers, even Dusan Vlahovic’s role could change.

What could happen for Dusan at Juventus?

The Serbian had not hidden his desire to earn more money; currently, the 25-year-old has a contract of 8 million euros as a base salary and will receive a good bonus of another 4 million euros for loyalty.

If, not too long ago, it seemed that Dusan’s fate was tied to a departure; now, with Spalletti, there could be a reconsideration and he might stay. After all, the Serbian attacker wants to prove that he can continue to perform well and has never hidden his desire to stay at Juventus. However, certain conditions must be met, and among these is certainly the offensive nature of the coach.

Spalletti himself said, at his first press conference as Juventus coach, that: “I will talk with him and I have not received any kind of imposition from the club”.

The Serbian also clearly expressed that the responsibility for how things have gone at Juventus cannot be solely attributed to the coach and called for the goodwill of everyone on the field.
