The young Italian striker drags Catanzaro into a spectacular draw with Pisa, the first call-up for the talented Italian with Reggiana: the performances of the Azzurri on loan in their respective leagues have been revealed
Few goals and colorless performances, only some exciting, in the matches played in the football weekend just ended. Only some of the players on loan from Napoli have shone and inspired their respective teams, others, however, have failed to exhibit their talent. From Serie A to Serie D, passing through the cadet championship and the C, now finished: everything you need to know about the evidence provided by the blue jewels who took to the field over the past weekend. Michael Folorunsho and Walid Cheddira, who took to the pitch with Verona and Frosinone respectively, were disappointing: the two Italians, in fact, struggled to make an impact and provided a match without any sharp details. Undisputed protagonist Giuseppe Ambrosino with Catanzaro, author of the double advantage of the Calabrians in the fireworks draw with Pisa away. Good news also for Antonio Vergara, finally back among the Reggiana squad for the match against Palermo. The objective of the column “Azzurri in exile: loan stories” is to inform readers about the performances of the Italian players on loan in the various leagues of the peninsula weekend after weekend.
Serie A, Cheddira and Folorunsho disappoint: Caprile fails to save Empoli
—
Fluctuating moment for Mister Nicola’s Empoli, engaged in the final rush towards achieving the goal of salvation. The Tuscan team was often kept afloat by Elia Caprile, protagonist of an extraordinary season, his first experience in the top championship. The excellent performances of the Napoli-owned goalkeeper ensured precious points for the Italian team, even if that wasn’t the case in the last match against Atalanta. He senses Pasalic’s penalty but is unable to repel it due to a matter of … centimeters; perhaps he could have done something more on Lookman’s goal, but overall he receives a full six on his report card. However, the evidence provided by Walid is disappointing Cheddira with Frosinone during the triumph against Salernitana. It’s not his best game in the Ciociari shirt, but the Moroccan’s commitment is evident. He plays on the edge and helps the team raise the center of gravity, his work is still useful to the cause. The attacker misses the goal, despite the chances created by coach Di Francesco’s team. Michael doesn’t shine either Folorunsho, starting in his Verona’s defeat at the Olimpico against Lazio; tiring performance for the Italian midfielder, who is unable to easily penetrate the opposing defense. Only a couple of advances with the ball at their feet, without ever creating real dangers for the Biancocelesti rearguard. Draw at the photo finish for Alessio’s Monza Zerbin, a smoky test of the Italian winger, characterized by never treacherous rides. Lots of dribbling and few prompts, probably aimed at unlocking a chess match similar to the one played by the Brianza team against Lecce at Via del Mare. Despite the numerous role changes of Mr. Ranieri, Gianluca Gaetano fails to make an impact and is swept away together with Cagliari by the overwhelming force of Genoa. Confused by the coach’s decisions, the Italian midfielder is unable to focus on the main task: hitting his opponents. A performance to be reviewed for the product of the Italian youth sector.
Serie B, Ambrosino drags Catanzaro: first call for Vergara with Reggiana
—
The last appearance was on September 16th with Cremonese, the day of the cruciate injury. The starting point of a delicate period, which lasted a long time, perhaps too long. Nonetheless, the light at the end of the tunnel has never become dim, on the contrary, the visible glimmer has always served as hope for the Napoli talent. The list of players called up for the match against Palermo has been released, but good news reaches Antonio Vergara, who gets Mr. Nesta’s first call. The midfielder originally from Frattamaggiore is ready to take the field and offer his contribution to the team. Protagonist Joseph Ambrosino with his Catanzaro, started by the coach in the drawn away match against Pisa. In the right place and at the right time to put the ball into the net for the Calabrians’ double advantage: the young Italian striker makes the most of his teammate’s winning pass and drags the team towards the play offs.
Serie C, D’Agostino is not enough at Piacerno: Saco and Cioffi in the play outs with Ancona
—
Swing of emotions for the numerous different results of the matches played this football weekend in the last round of Serie C before the play offs and play outs. The Azzurri on loan in the various clubs provided different performances: the youngsters on loan from Napoli in the more varied teams provided positive performances, but not extremely brilliant ones. Home victory for Trento with Renate, Nosa Edward Obaretin launched from the start of the match to ensure his contribution in defense. Mocking draw for Antonio’s Ancona Cioffi and Coli Saco, both lined up as starters from the start of the match against Lucchese. Despite the chance given by Mister Boscaglia, the two players on loan from Napoli fail to leave their mark, but it will also be up to them to save the team, condemned to play in the play outs. External defeat, however, for league leaders Cesena, already qualified for Serie B; only bench, however, for Mezzoni. Gennaro’s Monopoly victory Iaccarinodeployed from the start of the match won against Messina, even if the Apulians are condemned to play the play outs to remain in Serie C like Matteo’s Potenza Marchisano, after the scoreless draw with Francavaglia. Away draw for Potenza against Messina, no minutes for Matteo Marchisano, who is experiencing a particularly complicated season. Also Giuseppe’s Picerno D’Agostino doesn’t break through against Brindisi. Avellino’s success against Crotone, second place secured: Lorenzo Sgarbi he started from the bench and entered the field in the second half, missing the goal.
