Adžić's spectacle, Bodin as a warrior

They temporarily left Juventus and Bologna because they wanted to play, and then in the first official matches for their new teams they showed that their decisions were the right ones, and that Sassuolo and Mantova will receive serious reinforcements.

Vasilije Adžić scored to brighten the "Neroverde"'s triumph in the 1st round of the Italian Cup against Cesena (3:0), while Bodin Tomasevic His debut for the club from Lombardy will be remembered for an excellent game and a victory against one of the greats - Lazio (2:0).

If the two Montenegrins overcome the next obstacles in this competition (Frosinone and Palermo), their respective clubs - Juventus and Bologna - would await them in the round of 16.

Their games at the start of the season did not escape the attention of the Italian media, so "La Gazeta dello Sport" and "Tutosport" brought euphoric headlines: "Adžić, what a spectacle" and "Adžić's show".

The famous newspaper from Milan was particularly prominent in its praise.

- Adžić was brilliant. The former Juventus player showed technique, character, and the ability to run a lot. This particularly pleased his coach Alberto Aquilani, who sees him as a midfielder, but wants him to be very high up, almost in the attacking three - added "Gazeta".

The entire Sassuolo team looked great, especially in the first half, which was crowned by Adžić with a bare left foot after a nice move.

- "Neroverdi" is still an idea that needs to be developed, but for now the signals sent by Adžić and Daril Bakola are encouraging. Aquilani's idea was especially visible in the first half: possession of the ball was not used for aimless horizontal passing, but for a constant desire to break through the opponent's lines with vertical passes. This is where Sassuolo showed its best - explained "Gazeta".

Before new challenges in the Cup, Sassuolo also face the first two rounds of Serie A - Adžić will make his debut for the "green and black" in the championship against his teammate from our national team, Nikola Krstović, and Atalanta.

Serie A kicks off this weekend, just as challenges for Tomašević and Mantova in Serie B. The new season for the young Montenegrin defender should be a big step in his career, and the fact that coach Francesco Modesto believed in him against Lazio is just confirmation that he has a lot of minutes ahead of him this season.

A local media outlet close to the club, "Tuto Mantova", gave Bodin a score of 6,5, and praised him in the explanation.

- He played without any fear against one of the big clubs in Italy. He fought duels with Bulaj Dia and found a way to come out victorious in every way. With his posture and height, he resembles a warrior - wrote the aforementioned media outlet.

His games are also followed in Bologna.

- Modesto decided that Bodin would be one of the three in defense. His job? To guard Mattia Zaccagni. A complicated mission, but he successfully completed it - writes "1000cuorirossoblu", a portal that follows Bologna.

Will this season convince Bologna to give him a chance?

- He does not lack mental preparedness, athletic skills and technique. If he adds experience and maturity to all of this, Bodin Tomašević could become a top player - they state on that portal.
