Tuttomercatoweb - 5.5/10
"He starts well, is in the thick of things, then fades away and never finds the decisive moment."
Pianeta Empoli - 5.5/10
"On the one hand, he can be praised, at least for the effort he made in the first half. But then he went into a complete slump, no longer offering any functions that could benefit the team. And in the second half, he had very little time with the ball."
SportFocus24 - 6.5/10
"He helps in defence. He is also useful in transition, giving his team a break."
It will be recalled that after 18 rounds, Empoli still occupies the penultimate, 19th place in the Serie A standings, with 13 points. Cagliari's situation is not much better: 14 points and 18th position.
