On the first goal he seems to want to be a show-off, on the second he can&#x27;t reach it by a whisker. Reliable keeper, but this time a bit too &quot;zen&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marusic \u2014 5.75<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zappacosta runs after him like he&#x27;s got a souped-up scooter. He tries to hold him, but looks like someone who just finished a carbonara. Willing, but gasping for air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gila \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cleanest at the back. Doesn&#x27;t try to be a star, doesn&#x27;t cause disasters. &quot;Dirty work and home&quot;, like an honest land registry clerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romagnoli \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Captain by presence, but not by roar. He does his job, but when Atalanta speeds up he seems to wonder: &quot;Couldn&#x27;t we have stayed 10 metres deeper?&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuno Tavares \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternates flashes of Formula 1 with moments of &quot;where am I going?&quot;. But he pushes, runs, tries. He&#x27;s a bit like home Wi-Fi: when it works, it works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cataldi \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The metronome that sometimes loses the beat. Tidy, but without the spark. A &quot;homework done neatly&quot; kind of evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taylor \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Runs as if he has an important appointment after the match. Plenty of running, a little less precision. But useful, always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dele\u2011Bashiru \u2014 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best. Bursts, goal, personality. Looks like someone who decided: &quot;Alright, today I&#x27;m carrying Lazio on my shoulders&quot;. And he does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isaksen \u2014 5.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lights up, goes dark, lights up again\u2026 like a faulty lightbulb. An off night, but at least he tries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maldini \u2014 6.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assist is pure poetry. Then he gets a bit lost, but when he touches the ball it always seems like something could happen. Elegant as a Laziale in a suit and tie in the Tribuna Tevere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zaccagni \u2014 5.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the usual Mattia. He seems like someone who forgot their house keys and is only thinking about that. Not very incisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cancellieri \u2014 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comes on and brings energy. Doesn&#x27;t change the game, but at least adds a bit of spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dia \u2014 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Devastating impact. Comes on, scores, and for a moment seems to say: &quot;Don&#x27;t worry, I&#x27;ve got this&quot;. If he keeps going like this he becomes the new idol of the Curva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noslin \u2014 n\/r<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too little time to judge. Comes on, runs, waves, and leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A real &quot;Ivano, what did you eat?&quot; kind of night.
