Today’s edition of “La Gazzetta dello Sport” interviewed Alessandro Nesta who focused extensively on the Serie B playoffs.
In the meantime, Venice and Cremonese are recharging their batteries. «Resting at this time is good for your legs, not for your head: you must always keep your attention high. I think that Vanoli and Stroppa are thinking precisely about this these days, about the psychological aspect, especially in Venice where perhaps there is a bit of disappointment at having lost the sprint against Como and not having finished second.”
Are they the favorites for the A? «For roses I say Venice first and Cremonese second, for the proposed football I say Catanzaro: it will be the loose cannon of the playoffs».
What are the strengths of Venice and Cremonese? «Venezia has physicality and deadly, infallible attackers: in Serie B there are few who make the difference. I like Stoppa from Cremonese, he makes his teams play well and has many decisive players. But I believe that Venezia has something more.”
Poljanpalo top scorer, Cutrone MVP for Serie B. As a former defender, how do you judge them? «To mark them I would have marked them (smiles)… They are different: Cutrone attacks the lines a lot. Pohjanpalo is a goal-splitting boxer. Different and very strong.”
His championship Oscars? «Apart from those two attackers and the usual names, I say Felici from Feralpisalò and Ghilardi from Sampdoria. And as young people, by detachment. I say mine.”
