Juventus full-back Alex Sandro scored a brace in the important win over Parma on Wednesday and the Italian sports pages hails the Man of the Match.
La Gazzetta dello Sport felt the ‘good times were back’ for Alex Sandro in the 3-1 win over the Gialloblu.
The home side struggled to break down a resilient Parma in the first half, but eventually the Brazilian wing-back cancelled out Gaston Brugman’s spectacular free kick.
Alex Sandro then turned the game around two minutes into the second half and Matthijs de Ligt added the third.
“It seems the good times are back for Alex Sandro, who cancelled out the detour in Bergamo, with his first brace in Bianconero,” La Gazzetta dello Sport writes.
Il Corriere dello Sport writes he ‘controlled Dennis Man and, above all, De Ligt’s side perfectly’.
“He then scored the 1-1 goal before the break and at the beginning of the second half he’s in the right place at the right time. The unexpected hero,” the newspaper wrote.
Alex Sandro’s ratings in the Italian sports pages:
La Gazzetta dello Sport: 7,5
Il Corriere dello Sport: 8
Tuttosport: 7,5
