At the end of the Serie A weekend, TuttoMercatoWeb revealed the biggest flops from Matchday 25, with Lazio defender Adam Marusic receiving the unceremonious recognition.
The Biancocelesti shared the spoils with league leaders Napoli on Saturday following a back-and-forth battle that ended in a 2-2 draw. However, Lazio supporters felt their team could have secured victory if it wasn’t for the blunders committed by Marusic, who scored an own-goal, and his goalkeeper Ivan Provedel.
But while the Italian custodian didn’t make the cut (that ‘honor’ went to Empoli’s Marco Silverstri), the Montenegrin was selected by TMW in the Worst XI formation of the round. This comes only a week following his impressive display against Monza when he opened the scoring for the Aquile.
Marusic thus joins Parma teenager Giovanni Leoni, Empoli’s Saba Goglichidze and Torino’s new signing Cristiano Biraghi at the back. Nevertheless, the most prominent name on the list is Inter Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu who struggled to make an impact in the Derby d’Italia defeat against Juventus.
Moreover, the league’s runaway top goalscorer Mateo Retegui is an interesting addition after firing blank against firing blank for Atalanta against Cagliari. So here is the 4-3-3 formation as revealed by the source:
Marco Silvestri (Empoli) 5.5
Adam Marusic (Lazio) 5 Giovanni Leoni (Parma) 4 Saba Goglichidze (Empoli) 5 Cristiano Biraghi (Torino) 5
Matteo Colpani (Fiorentina) 5 Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter) 5 Lazar Samardzic (Atalanta) 5
Lucas Beltran (Fiorentina) 5 Mateo Retegui (Atalanta) 5 Silvere Ganvoula (Monza) 5
