The Florentine Marco Baroni is succeeding in the miracle, the yellow and blue team will change at least nine players compared to the first leg against Fiorentina
This afternoon Vincenzo Italiano’s team will not face the same one Verona met at Franchi last December. Some changes in the winter session were plausible, but no one would have ever expected to find one on the return completely revolutionized team. Baroni’s team greeted well 15 players, a full lineup complete with 4 substitutions; despite this the coach from Florence is managing to maintain the category.
Do you remember the Verona team in the match gone? That ended 1-0 with goals from Beltran at the end and Djuric’s eleven-metre error at the start. Here are the eleven who took to the field that afternoon:
Montipò; Tchatchoua, Hien, Magnani (46′ Amione), Terracciano; Folorunsho (84′ Mboula), Hongla; Ngonge, Suslov (62′ Dawidowicz), Lazovic (75′ Saponara); Djuric (62′ Henry). All. Baroni.
Among the starters they no longer play in Veneto Hien. Terracciano, Hongla, Ngonge and Djuric; if we broaden the field to the reserves, we find the former viola player among those absent today Saponara, Amione, Mboula and Henry. As we know well, she also left Verona Pharaohs to wear the purple shirt. Yet the Scaligeri have been reborn thanks to the work of DS Sogliano. Baroni scored 17 points from the 20th matchday to today, already more than the 14 achieved in the first leg with 4 games less. And his “new” squad has a 2-point advantage over third-last Udinese. If it is not a miracle it is only because salvation is not yet mathematical.
