Udinese: Quota 50 Fears & Missed Opportunity

If you try to look at 50 with optimism and you have already knocked out Napoli, it is clear that the prospect of playing against Inter next Saturday is attractive. And then, we ask ourselves, at some point about halfway through the shoot around Runjaiclike with the surgeon in the operating room, there were 4-5 assistants who gave him advice on changes: Is it possible that no one has thought of removing Zaniolo, who shortly before had come close to receiving a warning which would cost him disqualification in Saturday’s big match?

And then, above all, is it possible that it didn’t occur to the player, who grew up in Inter’s youth team, to avoid, shortly afterwards, an unnecessary foul in midfield which earned him a yellow? It’s relaunching in a big way, even on a national level, wasn’t it worth avoiding that nonsense?

For the rest, the usual Udinese also against Pisa. He goes down, comes back vigorously, gets another goal, like the first with a stuttering Okoye. He stops playing, also due to Runjaic’s substitutions, he takes a huge risk, then he wakes up and hits the post and eats up the lead. Yes, Pisa, hungry for points and supported by a large crowd, deserved the draw. And Udinese once again missed the leap in quality. Is quota 50 scary? So many unanswered questions. Once again.
