Padua If there was a way to say good-bye there Spal found it: victory in the test of Padua, but above all a good atmosphere in the locker room and the use of some young players who could have a future in the blue and white. All this comes to fruition at the Euganeo in Padua where Alfonso and members are needed by the Venetians to keep tension high in view of the playoffs. But it is immediately clear that it will be a complex afternoon for the biancoscudati given that after a minute Spal is already in the lead thanks to a strike from Rabbi on a cross from the left. The attacker is one of those sub-judice for the future: always very generous but not very incisive. Yesterday he paired with Zilli in the first 40 minutes where By Carlo he proposed the best possible formation given the many planned absences and also experimented given the three-man defensive line Cornflower, Arena And Breit. In the midfield, Orfei and Carbone used full range while Contiliano and Collodel protected the back pack and acted as a filter. Finally, moving forward, there is room for Maistro’s imagination.
The result was a brilliant first half which ended with a draw for Padua Zamparo just as Spal is outnumbered (Fiordaliso bruised and Nador not yet ready to enter).
In the second half a whirlwind of changes: only Collodel, Breit and Nador remain on the pitch. We see each other again Marco Bertini, a midfielder destined to return to Lazio and remained in the pits for the entire return leg, but above all many kids are on the pitch: Defendant takes over Contiliano, Angeletti takes Rabbi’s place and then there are the 3 born in 2007 Cecchinato, Rizzotto and Pegoraro who carve out some minute of glory. The person who will probably remember the match most fondly is the Primavera defender, Van Der Vlugt and the striker Angeletti. The former enters and after two minutes brings Spal back ahead, emerging into the fray on a corner kick. The second collects an assist Petrovic and punishes Donnarumma, Spal’s winter dream and until then the author of several interventions of the highest level, useful to make the liabilities less burdensome. After 35 minutes the referee sends everyone to the locker room amidst smiles and regret for a season that should have been longer. L
