Stats confirm Juventus loanee Nicolò Rovella outplayed Leandro Paredes in Monza’s first-ever win in Serie A yesterday.
The Italy starlet joined the Brianzoli on a dry loan deal from the Old Lady on the deadline day, when Paredes completed a loan move with an option to buy from PSG.
It’s a free loan deal, but the Serie A giants can make his move permanent for €22.6m plus €5m add-ons in 2023.
Paredes and Rovella crossed paths at the U-Power Stadium yesterday and the Italy international outplayed his ‘successor’ at the Allianz Stadium.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport points out, Rovella had 109 touches and his passing accuracy was 91.6%. Paredes had less than half his touches (54) and 87% passing accuracy.
Rovella was rated 7.5/10 on the pink paper, while Paredes got 4/10. Only his compatriot Angel Di Maria got less (3) having seen red in the first half for a reaction foul after he was held.
