When compared to the previous season, where Udinese was only in 12th position, Udinese's performance has greatly improved this season.
As you said we have to appreciate Udinese's performance this season even though in the end they failed to get into the top 4. Because we have
to be realistic with the quality of Udinese players, the majority of whom are mediocre players, very difficult for Udinese to play consistently until
the end of the season. According to my opinion why now Udinese can be in 3rd position, it's because Udinese has improved in performance,
but another thing is because some of the big teams have decreased in performance at the beginning of this season. But if big teams like Inter,
Juventus and Roma find their best form this season and start playing consistently, it will be difficult for Udinese to stay in the top 4. At least
Udinese will struggle to be in the top 6 this season, so that next season they can play in European competitions.
