Piles up clearances in Como game
Valentini had three interceptions, 10 clearances and two shots (one on target) and sent in two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Como.
Analysis: Valentini resumed starting following a suspension, replacing Domagoj Bradaric, and was solid in the back, posting a new season high in interceptions, but Como scored once. He'll compete for minutes also with Martin Frese in the last two rounds. He has tallied at least one tackle in three consecutive displays, totaling six (three won), posting four interceptions, two blocks and three shots (two on target) during that stretch. Furthermore, this marked his 11th performance in a row with one or more clearances (61 total), but with no clean sheets over that span.
Clears disqualification
Valentini cleared a one-game ban in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Juventus.
Analysis: Valentini will return against Como on Sunday and will compete for a spot in the XI with Martin Frese and Filip Bradaric, as the former can man multiple positions, if Armel Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) remains on the mend. He has tallied at least one clearance in ten consecutive outings (seven starts), amassing 51 and adding 15 tackles (10 won), 11 interceptions and nine blocks, with no clean sheets, over that span.
