The little ones played a great trick on Cremonese. A simple play on words, but which, unfortunately, provides a real picture of the situation in which the grey-red team found itself, slipping from second place alone in the standings to five points behind Como (and from direct promotion to Serie A) when they are still missing five days at the end of the regular season of Serie B. In addition to the numbers, which are already quite eloquent, we must also note the less than brilliant moment of the team Mister Stroppa highlighted by the latest outings, characterized by many shots on goal and great difficulty in scoring.
This is the picture, far from exciting, in which tomorrow (kick-off at 4.15pm) the Cremonesestill with Saro in goal and without the suspended Collocolo, will visit the Catanzaro. A tough opponent who directly follows the grey-reds, with a gap that has now been reduced to four points. The right stimulus for try to overtake the Giallorossi, who on this occasion can also count on the always warm support of their audience. Regardless of the intentions of the Calabrians, however, Stroppa’s team must remain well focused on what is happening within it, with the increasingly evident difficulties in implementation which are accompanied by the certainly not optimal conditions of several key elements and by too many errors which easily offer the path to the net to the opponent in question.
During a season, especially if it is long and tiring like that of the cadet tournament, it may happen that performance drops, but at this moment the attitude that must characterize the grey-reds is only one. Complain about points wasted with rivals apparently within reach as Sudtirol, FeralpiSalò and Ternana and on what the ranking could say now even with a simple draw in matches that, instead, were badly lost, is of no use.
Rather the Cremonese is called a focus on the five meetings which still remain to be played, transforming them into just as many finals to try in every way to win. Stroppa and his players will be able to do the math in the end, but in any case, by doing well in this final rush, they will have the opportunity to show up for the events that will decide the entire Championship in the best conditions and with the right conviction. If then the rivals How And Venice, should they stop right on the finish line, the grey-reds will have to be ready to take advantage of the opportunity. All of this, of course, starting from a winning and convincing performance at the home of a very fearsome Catanzaro team, but still further behind in the standings. Probable lineups: Catanzaro (4-4-2): Fulignati; Situm, Scognamillo, Antonini, Veroli; Sounas, Petriccione, Verna (Pontisso/Pompetti), Vandeputte; Iemmello, Biasci (Ambrosino). All: Vivarini. Cremonese (3-5-2): Saro; Antov, Ravanelli, Bianchetti; Zanimacchia, Pickel, Castagnetti, Johnsen, Sernicola; Falletti, Coda (Tsadjout). All: Stroppa.
