The beginning of the season regularly brings new emotions, and perhaps the main source of impressions is the players who pleasantly surprise. Not necessarily we are talking about talented youth, although it is always curious to follow. Sometimes the "shooter" is kicked off by a football player who changed the team after an unsuccessful stretch and opened up in a new way, or a veteran experiencing a second youth. The next rally of Serie A will be remembered to us by a number of curious personalities.. Your attention - the top 5.

Krzysztof Pentek * Genoa, 23 years old, center forward * His last name is written in Polish as Piatek (translated as “Friday”), but pronounced not “Pyatek”, but “Pentek” or even “Piontek”, as you can see from this link. Wikipedia offers a variant with "e", and adhere to it.

The main surprise of the last six rounds. More precisely, five - one match Genoa was moved. In each of the matches played Pentek scored! Once he scored twice, and in the cup match against Lecce, he distinguished himself four times, thanks to which he has amazing statistics - ten goals in six games. Пёнтека already compare with Andrey Shevchenko which also in a debut season showed impressive productivity (at them also growth identical, 183 sm). Krzysztof is strong on assists and has the ability to quickly navigate in the penalty area. He scored both his head and both feet - in fact, here is a selection of his heads for Genoa. We are waiting for its distinctive celebration to be added to FIFA and PES..

Before moving to Italy, Pontek spoke exclusively for clubs from Poland, and not the strongest ones - Zaglebie and Krakovia, who consistently occupied places at the bottom of the table.. Krzysztof successfully spent the past season, scoring 21 goals (the third figure in Ekstraklas; interestingly, it was bypassed by two Spaniards, Carlitos and Igor Angulo). He was noticed in the Polish team. The forward even got to the extended list before the World Cup, but didn’t go to the Mundial. He debuted for the "Cadre" he was already in September, being a player of Genoa. "Griffins" bought it for only 4 million euros - an amazing quickness. According to rumors, the player is already interested in Juventus and Napoli. We are waiting for profitable resale, it will be in the style of Genoa.

Gregoire Defre Sampdoria, 27, striker One of the disappointments of last season. Defrel moved to Roma after Eusebio Di Francesco, but it turned out to be superfluous in the "dzhallorossi" camp. The place in the center of the attack was booked for Edin Dzeko, from under which even the dorogusch Patrick Schick did not get out. Defrelyu tried to find a place on the right flank, but there he could not open up. The result - only one goal in the season, and the one from the 11-meter, which Gregoire kindly gave to perform Jacko.

Now everything is different. Defrel was rented by Sampdoria, where he immediately got a place in the base, and next to such an experienced fighter as Fabio Quagliarella. Trust, mutual understanding and a comfortable position revived the career of the Frenchman. On his account two doubles, and if Frosinone is being offended by many now, then a major victory over Napoli (3: 0) is a great achievement.. The best qualities of Defrel showed up: dribbling and delivered kick with both feet. "I run, I score, and I'm happy" - a simple recipe for success from this guy with an original biography. Gregoire was born in France, but spent his entire professional career on the Italian land - Parma nine years ago looked it up in an amateur tournament.

Zhervino Parma, 31 years old, flank striker That's who can become one of the brightest figures of the new season. In the past year and a half they only remembered him occasionally: where did Zhervinho go, where does he live now? He lived in China, earned money, but things went badly. The Ivorian rarely scored, but was retired for hitting his opponent in the groin, and a year ago he even broke the “crosses”, which is why he missed the African Cup of Nations. Parma signed the cat in the bag. Both the level of the game and the motivation of Zhervino were a mystery.

Everything was in order. Zhervino from the first matches was so eager to fight that he didn’t even want to leave the field when replacing. His high-speed qualities and the ability to break into free zones perfectly fit Parma with her counter-attacking manner of play, and the skill "Predator" stands out prominently among the teammates. He upset Juventus himself, and most importantly - he scored a crazy individual ball into the goal of Cagliari. Zhervino cherish, sometimes leaving in reserve, because he became the main weapon of Parma in the struggle for survival.

Francesco Acherby Lazio, 30, central defender The loss of Stefan de Vree seemed irreplaceable to the “byankochelost”, because the already weak defense lost the only sensible centerback. Lazio, however, found the best substitute possible.. Acherby was the leader of the defense of Sassuolo, and his statistics were impressive: for two seasons, he did not miss a single minute - 38 championship matches without changes, plus a few cup matches.. This is a courageous man who knows the price of every minute on the field: throughout his career, Acherby twice fought a cancer, and the disease, fortunately, retreated.

Game Francesco is best described by the word "confident". The speed is not optimal, but he competently chooses a position, knows how to enter the selection in time, is good on the second floor. Not without reason, Acherby is located in the center of the protective trio of Lazio, often acting as a safety net.. In addition, it is useful in the attack: in the last round, he scored against Udinese, and his most accurate long pass in the game with Napoli brought the Immobile one by one.

Pietro Terrachciano Empoli, 28 years, goalkeeper Least known footballer of our selection. Until this season, he, far from being a young goalkeeper, practically did not play in Serie A - only two matches in the season 2011/12 for Katana. Terracciano performed in Serie B for Avellino and Salernitana, and when he moved to Empoli in the summer of 2017, the club at the time of the same league was on the bank. The main was Ivan Prodedel, and when he was injured in the middle of the season, Empoli leased from Brazil the Brazilian Gabriel. Terracciano put in only three games that did not solve the end of the season.

While Gabriel continues to walk on rentals, Terracciano stopped his "main" club.

Pietro trusted this season, he is number 1 from the first round and has already managed to surprise. Tall (193 cm), bouncy - he is able to reach any of the corners and hit the ball with his fingertips. Milan players on Thursday struck 11 shots on goal, but scored only once, and even then not without the help of a rebound. Everything else is pulled Terracciano, undoubtedly the best player of the match. You can admire his ten saves.. Bonus - old feats for Katana in the game against Sudtirol.
