the Colombian Juan Guillermo Quadrat, Juventus winger, was again decisive this Sunday with a pass for the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo to open the 3-1 thrashing at the field of Cagliari and already has fifteen winning passes this season: no one has given more assists than that of Necoclí in Italy.
Quadrat, 32, is being one of the most important elements for Juventus ’offensive dynamics. If Cristiano takes care of the goals – already thirty in this campaign -, the Colombian is the king of the attendances. Without his presence on the field Juventus this year has suffered a lot to create danger.
He lacked the change of pace, the ability in watering and the contagious intensity of Quadrat, a real “ace” for his coaches in recent years. Whether it was Massimiliano Allegri, who lined him up from a high end in a 4-2-3-1 or an end in a 3-5-2, Maurizio Sarri, who lined him up on the right wing, significantly improving his skills. defensive, or Andrea Pirlo, who in this course has already used him as “all camper”, as a right winger, left, or high end on both sides, Quadrat is still essential for Juventus.
This Sunday’s Cristiano Ronaldo, with an excellent corner service hanging from Cristiano’s head, was the seventh assist of his season in Serie A, to which is added an offer to the Italian Super Cup won in the January against Napoli, one in the Italian Cup and another six in the Champions League.
Juventus’ European path crashed against Porto in the European Cup in the round of 16, in a match in which Quadrat offered a great assist for the current 2-1 of Federico Chiesa and exceeded 30 hanging centers. He already has more than double the number of assists offered last year, when he was seven. Two years ago he got three while three seasons ago he stayed at nine.
Of course, the Colombian is still looking for his first goal of the season after scoring at least one in the last five seasons. His goal record dates back to the 2013-2014 season, when he scored eleven with the Florentine shirt. In addition to his great performance on the field, Quadrat is also the leader in the Juventus dressing room and did not hesitate to face last Tuesday to comment on the European elimination.
“This is football, we have to raise our heads, we are professionals, we are a great team and even great things happen to great teams,” said the Colombian at the time, with lucidity and objectivity despite the great effort. performed for 120 minutes. His Juventus, already Super Cup champions and finalists of the Italian Cup, will now try to fight to the end for the league title, although he is currently third and separated by ten points from the leader Inter Milan.
In his career, Cuadrado has won five Serie A titles, three Italian Cups and two Italian Super Cups with Juventus. He was also Premier League champions and won an English League Cup with Chelsea.
