Four points in the last five days for Cremonese. Fifteen out of fifteen for Como, ten for Venezia. From March 9th to today, from the direct clash won by the Grigiorossi at Zini, the Como team have had an almost perfect path in spite of Stroppa’s men, who stumbled repeatedly (Sudtirol, Feralpisalò, Ternana) and clinging to the success of Bari and like Catanzaro.
In fact, the rankings have reversed in the last month and a half. From second place at +4 on Como, Cremo dropped to fourth at -4 from Venezia and -7 from Roberts-Fabregas. The obvious difference lies in the goals scored: the Grigiorossi were stranded thanks to only three goals scored in five days.
The Como? He made 14, with the crescendo of Piacenza: very poker at Feralpisalò who secured the fort against Cremo both in the first leg and in the second leg. Venezia, which with 62 goals is the best attack in the division, added 9 goals scored, remaining dry only in Ascoli (like the grey-reds) and throwing themselves away at home against Reggiana three weeks ago, going from 2-0 to 2- 3, only defeat in the last five days for Vanoli.
The trend, for now, is clear: to aim high you need more offensive conviction. Translated: goals are needed for a Cremonese team who in the last month and a half have scored two goals from open play (Collocolo in Bari and Tsadjout with Ternana) and scored an own goal (at the “San Nicola”). Too little for those who, on March 9th, were watching the competition from second place in the rankings.
