Top 5 goalscorers of the 2019-20 Serie A season
By Devang Joshi
2. Ciro Immobile
Ciro Immobile is one of the finest talents Lazio have in their squad. The 30-year-old demonstrated his predatory skills with his accurate finishes. He scored 27 goals in 26 matches in the 2019-20 Serie A season with 7 assists to his name. His ability to position himself in goal scoring positions has always made it difficult for the opposition’s defence to track his movements.
Immobile has also floored his opponents with his pace and deceptive moves. The forward was always hailed as a promising talent, as he can also play as an attacking midfielder as well as the main striker. His ability to link up with the midfield as well as the forward line has outfoxed the best defences because of his ability to drop deep inside the rival’s territory.
The Italian has also shown tremendous efficiency with his short passes combined with his ability to win aerial duels. The striker has also been a threat for any opposition because of his swift counter-attacks. Immobile has combined well with Felipe Caicedo in the forward line while his combination with Sergej Milinkovic Savic looked sharp.
3. Romelu Lukaku
It has somewhat changed the fortunes of the striker since his arrival at Inter Milan. The Belgian has shown his ability to outclass the opposition with his attacking runs and by exploiting gaps in the opposition’s defence. The 28-year-old has been an influential figure in Inter Milan’s forward line. His smart and offensive moves have looked threatening.
The striker has teamed up quite well with the forward line. He has also worked well with the midfield consisting of Alejandro Gomez and Mario Pasalic. The former Manchester United player has netted 17 goals in 25 games in the 2019-20 Serie A season with 2 assists to his name.
The striker has scored 2 goals in 5 Champions League games this season with 2 assists to his name. Team manager Antonio Conte had stated that Romelu Lukaku’s intensity on the field has been a crucial factor for the improvement some of the younger players of the team have shown. Lukaku’s on-field understanding with youngster Lautaro Martinez has worked well for Inter Milan.
