Serie C play-offs: Perugia starts again from Carrarese
Play-off series – Of Gianluca Drusian – The national phase of the play-offs begins tonight, at 8.30pm at the R.Curi stadium. However, the Griffins start again with a team against which, in the championship, they have achieved a draw and a defeat.
With five days to go, in Carrara, 1-0 for the locals sealed third place in favor of the yellow and blues, making the boys from Formisano lose the remainder towards the same goal.
A team, the Tuscan one, therefore well known by the Griffins who, at least on this evening’s occasion, start with the underdogs.
In fact, in addition to finishing ahead of Perugia in the championship, thus reversing in their favor those superior technical values of Perugia which many coaches theorized about at the beginning of the championship, Mr. Calabro’s men will always be able to use the double result useful in the championship to their advantage. span of the two home and away matches as per the regulations.
Even the numbers of the Tuscans are scary. From January 16th onwards, since the arrival on the bench of coach Antonio Calabro, Della Latta and his companions managed to recover 10 points from Torres until they came close to second place, lost by just two points.
However, a team that managed to score 73 points, 50 of which were won within friendly walls, away from home, with 23 points to their credit, was unable to be in the same dangerous and productive manner.
Carrarese undoubtedly knows how to attack and defend well but, away from Carrara, they have shown some problems.
Perugia’s main task will be to bring out and exploit the weaknesses of the opposing team to their advantage, will be the main task of the red and white players who, together with the contrasting strategies identified by the “magician” Formisano, will also have to express to the maximum their desire to pass the round and to be that stronger team that all the experts talked about on paper before every championship match.
Perhaps, putting each of the protagonists in their place without inventing anything special.
Carrarese’s preferred formation is 3-4-2-1 but Perugia doesn’t need to invent a Ruud Krol who breaks away from the defense to go around the pitch or a midfielder who plays behind the lines but never shoots on goal or an attacker who must only play with his back to goal.
In a simple and clear way, like Nereo Rocco (ten degrees for his career and knowledge of football): the goalkeeper must stay in goal, the defenders behind the midfield, the midfielders must carry the wood and light the fire and the attackers “put the ball in the net” (the Perugia anthem also says so).
Everything is very simple and linear like that Seghetti has to play even if he is ill.
