It is a Luca D’Angelo who has spent a thoughtful night who is preparing to communicate the anti-Brescia formation this afternoon. The last four matches of the season are divided into just fourteen days, which is why the choices will have to be reasoned, so as not to risk further tiring those who have just returned or those who have gritted their teeth up until now. There are several players who have been on the field for a few weeks despite some ailments, just as the conditions of Di Serio, Reca and Kouda, who returned after long injuries, need to be carefully evaluated. For this reason, for the away match in Brescia D’Angelo might not use them all from the first minute, then giving a chance to whoever comes off the bench against Palermo, probably as a starter.
The big doubt focuses on the attack: do we go back to two strikers or continue with the 2-1? Verde has played a lot in the last period, but given Di Serio’s limited playing time, the Spezia coach could ask him for a further effort, in the attacking midfield with Kouda behind Falcinelli. In midfield Elia is sure of a starting shirt on the right, transformed by the change of wing, just as Esposito and Nagy are certain of the ownership, the dam in front of the defense covered by Zoet. And on the left, without the all-rounder Cassata and with Reca not yet ready to start from the start, Vignali should be the one to complete the department. In defense, Hristov should be evaluated: the Bulgarian is the most important man in the rearguard but has been living with a little fatigue for some time, which is managed by D’Angelo’s technical staff during the week. Hristov should grit his teeth and play alongside Mateju and Nikolaou, but in case of a necessary withdrawal, Tanco is ready, with Nikolaou at that point at the center of the rearguard.
Even in Brescia Maran wonders about the right eleven to undermine the La Spezia defense. The Lombards, who usually play with the 4-3-2-1, should do without Paghera, a midfielder who has suffered a serious loss in the last few hours and who is unlikely to take the field. Also to be evaluated is the condition of Moncini, called up but practically never in the group during the week, who should start from the bench with ownership entrusted to Bianchi. Abel has space behind him for Bjarnason and Galazzi, while in the midfield there is a chance for Besaggio with Van de Looi and Bisoli. Finally, in front of goalkeeper Lezzerini, here is the four-man line with Jallow and Dickmann as full-backs and captain Cistana alongside Adorni in the middle.
BRESCIA (4-3-2-1): Lezzerini; Jallow, Cistana, Adorni, Dickmann; Bisoli, Van de Looi, Besaggio; Bjarnason, Galazzi; Whites.
Coach: Rolando Maran.
SPICE (3-4-2-1): Zoet; Mateju, Hristov, Nikolaou; Elia, S. Esposito, Nagy, Vignali; Green, Kouda; Di Serio.
Coach: Luca D’Angelo.
