Many former protagonists of the match scheduled for the thirty-sixth matchday of the Serie B at the Picco between D’Angelo’s Spezia and Mignani’s Palermo
Spezia-Palermo is a dangerous crossroads and a challenge full of tension despite appearances. The Ligurians must necessarily accelerate in the final sprint to avoid the playouts and are looking for precious saving points against Mignani’s team. Rosanero who can’t keep up after the knockout against Reggiana at the Barbera, they need to secure sixth place and possibly validate their qualification for the playoffs with the help of mathematics. The internal flop and the mediocre performance against Nesta’s team aroused perplexity and bad mood after the first three draws obtained with Mignani at the helm. The Rosanero coach wants the first victory of his management, to give impetus, confidence and morale to the team and revitalize the environment in view of the probable playoffs. Gra spectacular in the first leg at Barbera, with many reversals in front, high pace, great intensity and good play on both fronts. Palermo made up for La Spezia’s double advantage first with Mancuso and then with Stulac’s splendid free kick in minute one hundred and four of a match that seemed interminable.
Today’s edition of the Giornale di Sicilia places emphasis on the numerous former players in the match between D’Angelo and Mignani’s teams, one above all Ales Mateju who moved from Corini’s Palermo to the Juventus team in the last winter transfer market session. Never fully appreciated and often harshly criticized by a large part of the Rosanero public, the Czech defensive joker has always stood out for his dedication, commitment, professionalism and tactical flexibility. Often playing in a role that is not his own due to collective needs and with the burden of considerable pressure on him. However, in Liguria Mateju seems to have rediscovered his confidence, continuity and quality of performance, always appearing among the best of D’Angelo’s team and also appearing in the scorers’ scoresheet. The goal scored by the former Brescia and Palermo player at San Nicola in Spezia’s match against Bari is truly excellent. Even Salvatore Elia, who due to the rupture of his cruciate ligament in the Rosanero shirt soon saw his experience in Palermo come to an end, is trying to find space and continuity with Spezia in this troubled season. Edoardo Soleri also wore the Ligurian club’s shirt for a semester in 2017-2018. Lucioni achieved his first career promotion from C to B with Spezia in 2011-2012, while Ceccaroni collected four intense and formative seasons for his professional career, from 2013 to 2018, with an interlude on loan and promotion from spring training for the first team.
