Răzvan Sava has reached the reserve reserve, after the disaster in the last round! Out of the gate by a 40-year veteran

How did it end up in this situation? Last stage, the starting goalkeeper Maduka Okoye (26 years old) saw the red card in the away match against Fiorentina, right in the 8th minute, with a score of 0-0.

Immediately, Sava was introduced on the field, the one who lived a real nightmare.

Răzvan Sava came on as a substitute after Fiorentina filled his goal

His team was humiliated by Fiorentina, the team that occupies the last place, score 1-5.

Without being guilty of any success, Sava scored from all positions, which is why the technician decided that on Saturday, in the 17th stage, he would go to the hands of the veteran Daniele Padelli, 40 years and 2 months.

He had defended for the last time on March 1, 2025, in Udinese's success at home against Parma, score 1-0. Incidentally, that was also the only game ticked off by the goalkeeper who replaced Sava in Udinese – Lazio.

Daniele Padelli had 0 minutes played in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons.

Răzvan Sava played 10 matches this season for Udinese, during which he conceded 17 goals. In 2 games he kept the goal intact. He is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 2.5 million euros.

The goalkeepers that Udinese have in the squad:

Udinese will make their debut in 2026 on the field of Como, on January 3.

We have Sava at our disposal, who has also had some difficult moments in the past.

Of course it's coming off a five-goal slump, but Sava still has my trust, as does Okoye, Nunziante or Padelli. All goalkeepers have my trust.
