Manuel Locatelli was among the best players in Juventus‘ win over Torino, while Italian media criticised Weston McKennie and Moise Kean.
The Bianconeri sealed their fourth win in all competitions by beating Torino 1-0 at the Stadio Grande Torino.
Manuel Locatelli scored the winner with five minutes remaining with a side-foot finish from the edge of the box. It was his second goal in the last two games with the Bianconeri.
The former Milan and Sassuolo man was one of Juventus best players of the game. He was rated 7 by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere dello Sport and 7.5 by Tuttosport.
Other Bianconeri stars, such as Giorgio Chiellini and Matthijs de Ligt got the same ratings, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Locatelli was the best player on the pitch.
Italian sports papers praised him not just for the decisive goal, but also for his ‘tactical intelligence’ through the 90 minutes.
On the other hand, Weston McKennie and Moise Kean were anything but impressive.
The Italian striker was subbed off after just 45 minutes, while the American midfielder remained on the pitch for the whole game, but made too many mistakes and misplaced passes.
The former Schalke 04’s man performance was so disappointing that La Gazzetta dello Sport asked: ‘Where’s the midfielder that had impressed upon his arrival in Italy?’
McKennie was rated 5/10 by all three Italian sports papers. Similar to Kean, who got 5 from Gazzetta and Tuttosport and 5.5 from Tuttosport.
Pretty accurate. Chiellini did some great challenges. He’ll be missed when he retires. Kulusevski was positive when he came on too.
Berna should never start ahead of Kulu. Had to tell who was worse- Berna or Waeston.
Kulusevski must have more time on the pitch-very strong and creative
mckennie is a pirlo player and a mistake. fingers crossed he takes over at barcelona and buys him :p
The entire midfield is still turning over the ball far too often. Vs Chelsea because Juve was in a defensive formation they were able to not get burnt. Kean also gave up the ball far to easily which is why the sub happened with Berna going into the striker spot. Kulu had a good 10 mins, but we really need him to force his way onto the squad.
