Serie A: Team of the Week - Gameweek 4

Midfield: Ricky Alvarez, Inter

Ricky Alvarez performed at the top of his game

The opponents Inter were up against, Sassuolo, were quite feeble, but Ricky Alvarez had an overall impressive game.

He has been more composed on the ball this season and has an awareness of when to play the right pass as he did on several occasions this weekend.

Inter were emphatic 7-0 winners on the night, and Alvarez is gradually becoming an integral piece of Inter’s new system as he played just behind the striker.

Midfield: Danilo D’Ambrosi, Torino

D’Ambrosi opened the scoring against Bologna with a cracking header towards the back post from teammate Alessio Cerci’s perfect cross.

He has regularly continued to rule the left flank for Torino and also helped out in defense the few times he was needed.

The Italian exhibited an all-round key performance.

Attacking Midfield: Valon Behrami, Napoli

The Swiss international showed the right combination of perseverance and technique as he helped his Napoli side gain a first win in the San Siro against AC Milan since the days of Maradona.

Behrami tracked the runs of his opponents and more often than not, played the correct pass as the team from Naples looked to attack on the counter.

Forward: Francesco Totti, Roma

The Roma legend may not have scored a goal in the derby but was continually bringing teammates into play.

Totti stood out throughout the game as the one player not afraid to receive the ball in tight situations and play in place of his team mates.

He got the ball rolling for Roma, and created the opening goal with a beautiful cross for Balzaretti.

Roma eventually came out 2-0 winners.

Forward: Carlos Tevez , Juventus

Juventus might have been lucky this weekend in avoiding a shock defeat at the hands of Verona.

He was instrumental in helping his team avoid a defeat, by scoring a great goal and was extremely unlucky not to score a second as his shot bounced off both posts, beating the keeper but not the posts.

Striker: Mario Baloteli , AC Milan

The maestro may have missed a penalty for the first time in his career, and got sent off after the final whistle, but nevertheless, scored a great goal to save face.

He was quite the only shining light in another poor performance from AC Milan. Showed the full range of his game as he provided fine balls to his teammates and beat the Napoli defenders at will.

Much like Ibrahimovic, his display outshone that of his team.
