Until the beginning of theweek, the Italian Serie A had played its 13th match or week 13. And up to now, Napoli are still leading in the standings with 32 points. The same points were also collected by AC Milan in second position, only Napoli superior on goal difference. Inter Milan and Juventus are following them from behind.
In terms of goal productivity, maybe Napoli is not the best because there are still Hellas Verona, Atalanta, Inter Milan, and AC Milan who have muchm ore goal productivity than Napoli. But Napoli is the club that has conceded the fewest goals in Serie A so far. From 13 matches, Napoli have only conceded 7 goals, while other clubs have conceded more than 10 goals.
The closest is Torino who conceded only 13 goals. Meanwhile, Juventus, AS Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan have conceded 15 goals so far. However, none of the players from clubs that occupy the top 4 are included in the list of Serie A’s highest ratings so far. To note, Napoli, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Atalanta are temporarily in the top 4 positions.
This indicates that the players from the 4 clubs are able to play collectively and as a team. And it’s quite rare for players to rely on more individual abilities in every game. With such a reality, there are several players from clubs outside the top 4 who are able to perform well individually. Actually this is not wrong, it’s just not right for football which is a team sport.
Until week 13, there are several players who are able to collect the highest average score in Serie A so far, among them.
Paulo Dybala
The 28-year-old player is now considered capable of performing more optimally after Juventus released Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United. Dybala, who is vice-captain of this team, seems to have bounced back this season. Together with the coach, Massimiliano Allegri, Paulo Dybala’s game statistics are always good in every match. Despite only playing 9 games in Serie A this season, Dybala was able to score 3 goals and 3 assists. The rating for Paulo Dybala so far is 7.79.
Sergio Romero
The Argentine goalkeeper who shone at the 2014 World Cup has experienced a decline in performance since he was in Manchester United’s uniform. But on October 12, 2021, Romero was recruited for free by promoted club Venezia. The former Sampdoria player immediately became a mainstay in the team’s defense. Having only played in 6 matches, Romero was able to provide 3 wins and 1 draw for Venezia. Romero has so far recorded 3 clean sheets, thus earning a rating of 7.60.
Antonio Candreva
This 34-year-old senior since last season played for Sampdoria on loan from Inter Milan. And his decision to join Sampdoria permanently at the start of this season was considered a very right decision. This season, Candreva is irreplaceable on the right side of Sampdoria’s attack. Until now Candreva recorded 13 matches with an average of 90 minutes per game, scoring 5 goals and 2 assists. The rating for Antonio Candreva is 7.58.
Lorenzo Pellegrini
The original graduate from the AS Roma academy is considered to be the successor of the previous AS Roma legends. Because Pellegrini has been very consistent in the last few seasons and has become the team captain. The 25-year-old has played in 12 games this season in Serie A, scoring 5 goals and contributing 2 assists. Amazingly, Pellegrini has also been included in the Serie A Team of the Week 4 times so far. Lorenzo Pellegrini’s average rating so far is 7.56.
