«Varesina did well today to take advantage of the opportunities they created. As for us, we played an excellent match and managed to equalize a match that seemed over and even in extra time we came close to scoring in several situations. We ended the championship with an important points average even if unfortunately it wasn’t enough for us to achieve our goal. The fans? They understood that the team gave everything: their incessant support both last Sunday and today proves it” is the comment of director Totò De Vitis at the end of the playoff semi-final lost against Varesina.
The report cards
Maianti 5.5: it’s not that he has any major faults, but in a couple of situations he could have done better, in others they target him from a few meters away.
Neapolitan 5: Orellana suffers, defends with too many uncertainties and never finds the right idea. From 10′ st Iob 6: he comes in well, we give him a pass because ultimately he finds the net in the 90th minute which reopens hopes for a moment.
Silva 5: ok that holds up, but the defense dances terribly on all occasions and is not governed at the right times
Of the Doctor 5: the opponent loses the lead on the second goal and the argument made for Silva applies, the rearguard has taken on water from all sides. From the 30th minute Kernezo 5.5: messes up too much.
Articles 5: Vitale sends him into a tailspin on the first goal, a game with too low a tone. A little better when he goes to midfield, but it’s not much.
Ndoye 4.5: off, never in game. From 21st st Russo 5.5: he has no particular faults but he too, like everyone else, struggles to shake things off.
Gerbaudo 5: slow, cumbersome, doesn’t propose himself and doesn’t find insertions. From the 21st minute Zini 6: at least he tries and gets the penalty that launches the recovery of the red and whites in the final.
Corradi 5.5: perhaps the least worst because a fund, over time, really grows but is often imprecise. He hits the crossbar in extra time which would have deserved better luck and perhaps ended the match.
Bassanini 5: wasted the possible 4-4 but the fatigue was felt, otherwise the game was with too many uncertainties.
D’Agostino 5: scores a great goal, but disappears for 120 minutes and reappears only in flashes.
Recino 4.5: never looked for but totally removed from the race. From 10′ st Marquez 4: he misses a penalty but on tapin he does well to score the goal. The vote is this because for the umpteenth time he earns a senseless expulsion (clear handball, already booked) and leaves the team with ten men in the most delicate moment.
Rossini 5: the vote is on the match and certainly not on the season. The team is exhausted, it can fit, but Varesina has always done a lot of harm to Piacenza in three games.
