The last assault on the square of honor. The Benevento he tries, aware that three points in Catania might not be enough if Avellino were to take full spoils at home against Crotone. But winning remains the categorical imperative regardless Auteri has decided to give space to those who have played less so far, preserving some players who have been banned. First and foremost the midfield pair Talia-Nardi, but Paleari himself could rest to make room for Manfredini between the posts. Capellini and Ferrante need to be checked, as they could play equally even if it isn’t certain. Above all, Auteri is contemplating a change of formation and where will he ever be able to experience the novelty if not in what is an important match but certainly not from inside or outside, as it will be for the home team? The coach now seems ready to launch the four-man defence, which could become an interesting option in the future.
If this were to be the case, the coach’s idea, also to make up for the absence of Improta (on the right he would be forced to field an adapted mix between Simonetti and Karic) is to opt for a 4-2-3-1 in order to exploit fully exploit most of the potential available among the attackers. In defense on the lanes there should be Berra and Masciangelo, with Terranova (who has recovered from the pain in his ankle and trained regularly yesterday morning) and Pastina in the centres.
Capellini, who however is on a warning, and Simonetti would pay the price, who from fifth on the right has never convinced and after having “pulled the cart” perhaps also needs a round of rest. In the median wide to the tandem Karic-Agazzitested several times during the week, with two athletes looking for a relaunch after having played little or nothing (especially the second) since the arrival on the bench of the Floridia coach.
Talia And Nardi they will be spared in the playoffs, while Pinato, who has recovered from the hardening of his calf muscles, is now seen by Auteri as better in the attacking midfield, but in any case his recovery will not be forced.
Forward Auteri he is spoiled for choice: he has rotated the four attackers several times during the week. In his idea of football he is using as many as possible to increase the offensive danger. Changing too much compared to the last release is not even advisable and therefore someone will have to be confirmed in the department. It is the case of Lanini who, moreover, is the most reliable striker, deployed on the left side of the trio of finishers behind the lone striker who should be one between Marotta and Ferrante, with a slight prevalence of the latter (he is banned). Starita should act as a pure attacking midfielder in the middle, with Ciano or Carfora on the right to replace the injured Ciciretti.
The former Frosinone player is slightly ahead, fresh from a goal and an assist in the last match in progress, but probably also due to his greater predisposition to play matches of this type in which the opponent will sell his life dearly. As is known, Catania cannot afford to lose in any way and, even with a draw, they would risk ending up entangled in the playouts and, consequently, the right acquired, with the success in the Italian Cup, to access the national phase of the post season. In any case, there also remains the option that Auteri decides to start with a three-man defense and then move to a running four. The coach will only make a final decision this morning, a few hours before the match. In that case no attacking midfielder but three attackers in line that could be Cyan, Ferrante And Lanini. Simonetti and Masciangelo once again on the lanes. In defense Berra, Terranova and Pastina with Karic and Agazzi in the middle of.
The team arrived in Sicily yesterday on a flight from Fiumicino and will return late this evening. They will be there to follow the Giallorossi 156 fans, still a significant number. In the meantime, the police commissioner of Benevento has issued two Daspos against as many fans of Brindisi (6 years of ban from stadiums) and Juventus Stabia (2), found guilty of having lit and thrown torches and flares onto the pitch in their respective matches with the Giallorossi in the visitors’ sector of «Vigorito».
