Juventus secured a 1-0 win against Inter Milan this evening in a controlled manner, and here are our players’ ratings.
Michele Di Gregorio – 7.5
Di Gregorio was in superb form, making at least two excellent saves to help Juve secure the victory.
Timothy Weah – 7.0
Weah rose to the occasion, performing well both defensively and when pushing forward.
Federico Gatti – 7.0
Motta values his determination to get forward, and it was evident again today. He played like a warrior and nearly scored a poacher’s goal.
Renato Veiga – 8.0
With performances like this, Juventus must seriously consider signing Veiga permanently. He was the best centre-back on the pitch.
Nicolo Savona – 7.0
Savona delivered a mature performance against formidable opponents and fully justified his place in the starting XI.
Khéphren Thuram – 7.0
He replaced Manuel Locatelli in the line-up, and Juventus benefited from his physicality and excellent ball-carrying ability.
Teun Koopmeiners – 7.0
He looked far more comfortable playing deeper and delivered an assured performance in midfield.
Weston McKennie – 7.5
The American is thriving in an advanced role and caused Inter Milan several problems throughout the match.
Francisco Conceição – 8.5
He never stopped running at the Inter defence and was rewarded for his efforts with the winning goal.
Nicolás González – 7.0
He forced a fine save from Sommer and contributed well to the game.
Randal Kolo Muani – 7.5
His superb dribbling created the chance for Conceição’s goal, and the Inter defenders struggled to contain him.
Substitutes
Andrea Cambiaso – 7.0
It was great to have him back, and Juventus improved as soon as he stepped onto the pitch.
Manuel Locatelli – 6.5
He helped Juventus maintain control and see out the victory.
Kenan Yıldız – N/A
Lol, Savona, Thuram and Koop 5.5
Savona was close to a disaster. He is simply not ready for this level yet. He was ran over several times and did not deliver to our defence. Muani is another case who is becoming an important player with great skills.
Juve is a team under construction. Yesterday’s match shows what is the right direction and what needs to be changed. We can build on the second half, inter had no chance there, it was only ego that carried them forward.
– Thuram is a strong, talented and technical player, he will be better than the overrated Barella in 1-2 years.
– Muani should definitely be kept. Compared to him, Vlaho is an amateur player.
– Juve must do everything they can to keep Conceicao.
– Veiga played confidently, it would be worth keeping him.
– Savona performed quite well, but we need a better player than him.
– Many people criticize Koop (sometimes I do too), but he didn’t play badly yesterday, he contributed to the midfield dominance with his hard and dynamic play and he was just unlucky not to score a goal.
