In Como's 2-0 home victory over Juventus, Nico Paz shined with every pass and shot, while Yildiz was almost invisible on the court. After the game, "Football Market" compared the performance of the two.

Nico Paz

To borrow Platini's recent remarks ("Nowadays, these players are placed on the wings instead of in the center, you have to ask the coach why"), the most charismatic role in modern football is played by this young player from the Real Madrid youth academy. He is always at the heart of the game, always looking like a threat. Although his performance was not as dazzling as usual, the key moments that determined the direction of the game still came from his feet.

Paz kept running, sprinting, receiving and protecting the ball with his back to the goal for nearly 80 minutes. In the end, he sent a precise pass to assist Kempf's goal. He then followed up with a trademark left-footed shot into the dead corner.

Yildiz

If Nico Pas is the soul of Como, why can't Yildiz, who is equally talented, play the same role at Juventus? Especially on a theoretically better team. There are two main reasons: First, the teammates around Paz are all masters of ball control-Perrone, da Cunha, Caquelet, but Yildiz does not have such teammates around him.

Secondly, Tudor had a tactical misunderstanding: insisting on placing Yildiz on the left wing, which restricted his performance. After making his ninth consecutive start and playing at least 70 minutes, Yildiz began to look tired. Although he had a few good attempts in the first half, he faded away in the second half and didn't even have a shot on target. Juventus did have a "number 10" player but failed to exploit his full potential.
