Second successive start Ghilardi generated three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-0 defeat against Monza. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 44th minute. Impact Ghilardi led a punchless Verona attack from the backline Monday, leading the team with three shots attempted and two shots on goal. More to the center-back's skillset, he made two interceptions and four clearances over his 90-minute shift. The talented young Italian made 37 appearances (35 starts) during the 2023/2024 season in Serie B with Sampdoria. Having now made his first two appearances each as a starter, in Verona's most recent two fixtures, it looks as if Verona were slowly integrating Ghilardi into Serie A football.
