Matthijs de Ligt did not make it to the end of the attractive showdown between AS Roma and Juventus in the Serie A on Sunday evening. The defender received his second yellow card after a handball in the penalty area nine minutes before the end, at a score of 3-4. find the changing rooms. However, the misstep of the Dutchman was without consequences: the awarded penalty by Lorenzo Pellegrini was stopped by Wojciech Szczesny. The media in Italy is not for the first time critical of De Ligt’s actions.

Agent and transfer market expert Sabatino Durante was clear in the Twitch broadcast of afterwards calciomercato. “De Ligt has always been an overrated footballer in my opinion. He is a libero who always plays with Giorgio Chiellini, but he is a disaster when he plays with another footballer next to him. He’s more libero than a central defender and he makes mistakes because he doesn’t feel good,” assured Durante. “De Ligt certainly has qualities. However, due to circumstances, he barely had time to get used to Italian football.”
“The way De Ligt, three minutes after Juventus makes an improbable comeback, offers the opponent the chance to make it 4-4, is an accurate reflection of the problems the team is facing,” reads the analysis by journalist Federico Casotti. “More than a big win.” newspaper leggo talks about ‘a agony’ for De Ligt, who gets a 5.5. “To make matters worse, he is also sent away and is missing in the Super Cup against Internazionale”, a reference is made to the top match of next Wednesday.
Romeo Agresti, working for Goal, scatters with insufficient: six pieces. The journalist gives Kean the lowest score, a four, and De Ligt scores not much higher with a five. Bee Corriere dello Sport is the lowest rating correct for the ex-player of Ajax: a four. “Chiellini wasn’t there. Leonardo Bonucci was not there. Abraham towered over him. He was trumped on speed by Afena-Gyan. He caused the offense prior to AS Roma’s 3-1 and also nearly led in the 4-4. A red card was the synthesis.”
