Benevento, prolific striker wanted – Ottopagine.it Benevento

Benevento

(fs) Desperately looking for a striker. One of those capable of scoring with a certain continuity. This is the biggest deficiency of the Giallorossi team which had partially covered the gap with the arrival of Eric Lanini. The injury to the Turin player once again showed Benevento the darkest side of him. Only one goal scored in the last four days (the one in Teramo against Monterosi), 360 minutes in which the sterility of the offensive department reigned supreme. The team creates, this is an undoubted fact, but it does not materialize. At Partenio he recorded 48% of ball possession and 7 shots towards the opponent’s goal, against Juve Stabia the possession was even 60% with 8 shots towards Thiam’s goal. Result: zero goals scored.

Yet Auteri often points out that since his arrival the team has scored 24 goals, which is not exactly an insignificant figure. For this reason we extrapolated the goals scored in the second half of the season alone and the result is surprising: Avellino is obviously in the lead with 37 goals scored (14 in 3 games against Catania, Turris and Picerno…), second is Juve Stabia with 29, third is Benevento with its 24 goals. Then come all the others Giugliano and Crotone 22, Picerno 21, Taranto and Latina 20, Casertana 18. This makes it clear that although the difficulties in achieving are a clear fact, since January the team has marched at even acceptable levels, if referring to many of its antagonists. Moreover, proof of this is the ranking of the second round, which despite everything, still sees the Giallorossi at the top together with Juve Stabia at 33. Second is Avellino at 32, then comes Taranto at 30, Giugliano at 27, Casertana at 26, Messina 25, Latina 24, Picerno and Foggia 23, Sorrento 22.

These are virtual rankings and numbers, because the first round certainly cannot be erased with a quick wipe (30 points in 19 games, 17 goals scored, 20 conceded) and the ranking must always be considered in its entirety. But it is worth understanding that some adjustments in the staff (the arrivals of Lanini and Nardi, the recovery of Ciciretti and Terranova) had the desired effects.

It is on this that we must continue to work, without becoming discouraged and trying to make the maneuver more concrete. We know well that looking ahead with confidence is not for everyone, but giving in to pessimism will never lead to anything good.
