10 plays from the last two weeks of Serie A that the highlights generation missed.
Requirements to be part of this roundup: be a player from a team at the bottom of the Serie A table; not be included in the 3.05′ summaries of DAZN or almost 4′ of Serie A because it was nullified by other people’s errors or because it is more difficult to grasp than everything that surrounds a sending off, a scoring opportunity or a call from the VAR.
A necessary overview, however. Because the Serie A ranking is supported by a right-wing party – in some cases extreme – which really does Also Good Things.

(Yes, it’s a paroxysmal stretch. But the rest of the match at the Olimpico – the few who inflicted the torture will confirm, we guarantee for those who didn’t enjoy the experience – offered very little.) “The ball arrives, Nehuén Pérez puts it out. Then he insists again. Immobile Nehuén Pérez, NEHUÉN PÉREZ. Off to the counterattack for Payero”. Excuse me.
Suat Serdar (Hellas Verona, @Lecce) – Inferno 5, 4-6
Stavvi Minos horribly, and growls:
examines the faults in the entry;
judge and send according to what suits you
We don’t see Serdar’s face, but imagining a sneer of disapproval towards Banda as he approaches is not so unrealistic. Without effort, the Verona midfielder sta. Not simply standing, but standing, standing firm. With the pure imposition of his own will, he even rejects her into a lateral foul. To the frustration of the people of Salento.
Daniel Maldini (Monza, @Genoa) – Escape for victory
It is easy – and more correct – to highlight Daniel Maldini’s performance in Genoa for the decisive goal. Even more automatic is to celebrate Paolo’s son’s 3 goals in the last 4 after the free kick against Cagliari. More difficult, even pretentious, highlight the plays that contributed not to creating but maintaining the acquired advantage.
Messias and Vitinha are not defenders, in name or in fact. But the specific gravity of cow dribble like this, in the first minute of injury time, is huge regardless of the opponent who missed.
Gaetano Oristanio (Cagliari, vs Salernitana) – Dirty work
Kastanos stands out like a redeeming Christ on the trocar. How can Tchaouna see this and not serve him? He cannot fail to notice the Cypriot, but after the stop he fakes the horizontal discharge for the first time.
Gaetano Oristanio, in the last Eredivisie, entered the area with the ball more times than Reijnders and Karlsson, the same as Tadic. In Serie A, in Ranieri’s Cagliari, not can but excel at that. Even just to stay on the pitch, come off the bench and have a positive impact, he has to get dirty. He had also done it in crazyfurious 4-3 in Cagliari-Frosinone, he also did it against Salernitana.
In the last 9 matchdays he had only played the last quarter of an hour with Napoli, still with the need to influence the match in a way tangible. With Salernitana on the comeback, Oristanio sprints about ten meters to anticipate an opponent’s pass into his own backcourt. The best impact, in Ranieri’s Cagliari.
Marco Brescianini (Frosinone, @Sassuolo) – White Week
Worse than the cast of a Vanzina film
Moncler or sheepskin with turtleneck
Di Francesco’s Frosinone team like any other cinepanettone. Marco Brescianini with snowy skin, ash blond hair, white t-shirt-shorts-socks-boots slaloming between Erlic and Thorstvedt. Brescianini, for whom a turtleneck in cashmere would look good even on a football pitch, who wouldn’t even get dirty in the murky mud of the fight for survival in Serie A.
Samuele Mulattieri (Sassuolo, vs Frosinone) – Just one touch
Racic’s pitch really didn’t want to end there. The Serbian looked up, saw a green-black shirt and sent it To be, somewhere, relying on something intelligible. Even Samuele Mulattieri seems not to have believed it from the beginning. He looks at Zortea behind him and it doesn’t seem real to him that he is so alone and manages to curve his run towards the outside. He does not receive it with his body oriented towards the opponent’s goal, but rather parallel to the back line, without the possibility of allowing himself to stop slightly behind.
The ball must stay there, where Mulattieri touches him. Even if the Sassuolo center forward is dynamically led to move away. The ball remains there. Just one touch, another before Zortea and Okoli can intervene. Racic raises his arm again, inviting us to trust fate for the second time in a few seconds. Bajrami commits a foul. But Sassuolo is winning again, also thanks to these little Good Things, and it’s already a lot.
Djed Spence (Genoa, vs Monza) – Elastico
FBref monitored 154 touches in Spence’s first 6 games at Genoa. Tracking we tend to trust. Much more free not to believe the count of the undersigned, gained from watching all 281 minutes played by the Englishman before this action against Monza: Spence’s cross is the first touch of the ball with the left foot of the former Tottenham’s Ligurian experience . More than the cross itself, it is what happens just before that that convinces Spence to risk something that – literally – he did not have May tried in Italy.
The doubling of Akpa-Akpro and Birindelli is not textbook, the two from Monza even exchange positions in blocking Spence’s way towards the short side of the area. If Spence, on the short side, gets there anyway, it means that he did something more extraordinarylike an elastic band that does not break the doubling but goes around it towards the bottom.
Grigoris Kastanos (Salernitana, @Cagliari) – Flexor digitorum brevis muscle
Cool way of saying “outside of the foot“, but in a way more adhering to pure anatomy and scientific punctuality. As well as Kastanos’ movement to anticipate Nández: no aesthetic frills, just functionality to take away a bit of playing time and start the rotation on itself, using the right leg as a pivot. Everything beautiful and perfect to activate the transition of Salernitana? Obviously not. Weissman is eaten by Mina. And Salernitana remains desolately last in Serie A.
Nicolò Cambiaghi (Empoli, vs Bologna) – Loneliness
The loneliness between us
This silence inside me
And the anxiety of living life without you
Please wait for me why
I can not live without you
It is not possible to divide the story of the two of us
It may not be the Marco of Laura Pausini’s song, but we like to imagine Cambiaghi humming the chorus in his head thinking about how far Niang is from him. He controls by sucking in the rotating inertia of the ball, goes around Beukema, tries to come back on the right but Lucumí is, yes, too close. He doesn’t leave him alone. But Nicolò thinks only of M’Baye.
Antonino Gallo (Lecce, @Salernitana) – Working Class Hero (19’18”)
If only one had to be chosen among all the players of Gotti’s Lecce, it would undoubtedly be Gallo. In tears after the defeat against Verona, now an immovable starter on the left even with the arrival of Gotti. In Salerno Tchaouna often widens from the intermediate corridor towards the sideline to exploit the first step and the athletic impact, in mismatch against a body that seems to have nothing to do with the French.
Gallo shouldn’t be in Serie A. He’s not very tall, he’s not very strong, he’s not very powerful, he’s not very fast, he’s not very technical. None of these. He is attentive, focused, applied, punctual, involved. All together.
Tchaouna extends the ball, Antonino suffers the frequency of the former Dijon but recovers by moving back slightly, blocking the vision of the mirror from the twenty-year-old born in N’Djamena. Eyes fixed on the ball, he calibrates the time to sink the intervention, remains planted in the face of the feints and weakens it for a corner.
