Pundit ecstatic over Tottenham left-back Udogie's outstanding performance

Posted : 19 October 2023
During Italy's 2024 European Championship qualifier against England at Wembley, Destiny Udogie, the Super Eagles-eligible defender, showcased his skills and potential. Udogie, a marauding fullback for Tottenham Hotspur, had a memorable performance in his full debut for Italy. He had previously made a senior debut off the bench against Malta just a few days before.

In the match against England, Udogie was involved in a crucial play that led to Gianluca Scamacca's first-ever goal for Italy. He received the ball deep in his own half, displaying composure and skill as he exchanged passes with Nicolo Barella on a remarkable 60-yard burst up the field. Scamacca, the former West Ham striker, capitalized on Udogie's contribution by tapping home a cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo to open the scoring in the 15th minute.

Udogie's performance wasn't limited to his involvement in the goal; he also came close to scoring his first international goal. On the stroke of halftime, he unleashed a powerful shot, but it was expertly denied by England's goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford.

Despite Udogie's impressive display, he was walking a disciplinary tightrope after receiving a yellow card in the tenth minute for a tactical foul on Phil Foden. This early booking played a role in the decision to substitute him in the second half to avoid the risk of a second yellow card.

Marco Piccari, the director of TMW Radio, expressed his admiration for Udogie's performance, emphasizing the young defender's growth and potential. He drew parallels between Udogie and his own experiences as a strong full-back from the past. Piccari's praise highlighted Udogie's determination and character, despite the challenging circumstances of the match.

Udogie's journey as an international player had started on a positive note, and his performance in the Italy vs. England match was a testament to his abilities and the bright future that lies ahead for this emerging football talent.
