Serie A 22/23 – Matchday 2 Team of the Week
Emil Audero – Sampdoria
The Blucerchiati goalkeeper kept a clean sheet against Juventus and he made some impressive saves from Bianconeri wingers Juan Cuadrado and Filip Kostic.
Alessandro Buongiorno – Torino
Despite boasting limited experience in Serie A, the Granata defender had to keep a close eye on Lazio striker Ciro Immobile and he was able to limit any danger the veteran forward could cause the Torino backline.
Chris Smalling – Roma
Although he was solid in defence, the Englishman made his best contribution in attack. The Giallorossi had several chances to score but the experienced defender scored the only goal of the game with a header at the back post.
Kim Min-jae – Napoli
The Korean defender gave an assured performance at the back and he sealed the win against Monza with a header in injury time.
Omar Colley – Sampdoria
There are times when the Gambian centre-back lacks awareness and becomes prone to errors while there are other times in which he can be an astute defender. Thankfully for the Blucerchiati, Colley nullified the attacking threat of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and when he did get away, VAR had adjudged him to be offside after Adrien Rabiot had a goal disallowed.
Lorenzo Pellegrini – Roma
It was a complete performance from the Giallorossi captain. Ran tirelessly around the pitch, helping out defensively, provided plenty of creativity, and he assisted in the winning goal for Chris Smalling.
Ismael Bennacer – AC Milan
The Algerian international played an important role in the midfield against Atalanta. Bennacer completed the most passes of the match with 74, ranked first for the most chances created with eight, and scored a sensational equaliser with a bending shot after beating a defender.
Stanislav Lobotka – Napoli
Won plenty of balls in midfield and displayed the ability to bring the ball forward. He also supplied the pass for Kvicha Kvaratskhelia to score his second and Napoli’s third goal against Monza.
Lautaro Martinez – Inter
The Argentine once again displayed his understanding with Romelu Lukaku, which resulted in Lautaro scoring the opening goal against Spezia. He might have had more goals if it wasn’t for the saves of Aquilotti goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski.
Romelu Lukaku – Inter
Despite not finding the back of the net, the Belgian striker turned into a creator of goals for the Nerazzurri against Spezia. He headed the ball down to set up Lautaro Martinez for the opening goal and he dribbled past a couple of defenders in the lead-up to Hakan Calhanoglu’s strike.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – Napoli
The Georgian left-winger has had a dazzling start to his Serie A career. After an impressive debut against Hellas Verona, Kvaratskhelia scored two fantastic goals in the home victory against Monza.
