Salernitana-Verona, a match valid for the 37th matchday of Serie A, ended with a score of 1-2 thanks to goals from Suslov, Folorunsho and Maggiore. With this result, coach Marco Baroni’s Verona is mathematically saved (37 points) with a round to spare. Below are the votes for the protagonists of the match.
Salernitana report cards
Vincenzo FIORILLO 6: blameless for both goals conceded, he is constantly called into question by Verona’s forwards. His answers are always punctual. It is the best among him.
Niccolò PIEROZZI 6: not always reactive in defence, he still had the merit of hitting the post for Maggiore’s winner in the 90th minute.
Federico FAZIO 6: good in high balls, as usual, a little less when speed is required.
From 72′ Konstantinos Manolas 6: apart from Folorunsho’s post in the 80th minute, since his arrival Salernitana has no longer run any risks in defence.
Lorenzo PIROLA 5: always late in tackles in the rear three-man line.
From the 46th minute Antonio Candreva 6.5: he enters with the right head, although very difficult, into what – most likely – will be his last match at the “Arechi” with the Salernitana shirt. Conclusions from outside and a wake-up call sounded for the home offensive phase.
Alessandro ZANOLI 5: practically no push, along the right, from the former Sampdoria winger on loan from Napoli.
Lassana COULIBALY 5: really unrealistic, in the home midfield, during the first 45′.
From 46′ Giulio Maggiore 7: the former Spezia player enters, stands out in midfield and promptly scores Salernitana’s last goal against “Arechi” in this championship.
Toma BASIC 5.5: little precision in midfield for the Croatian midfielder on loan from Lazio.
Junior SAMBIA 6: it is he who puts the ball in the center, deflected by the header of the young Gerardo Russo, which will lead to the corner from which Maggiore’s goal will arise.
Loum TCHAOUNA 4:decisive in the first leg match, at the “Arechi” he appeared without ideas about the attacking midfield and particularly nervous, as emerged from the reaction kick given to Serdar.
Grigoris KASTANOS 5.5: the only one to pose a threat in the first half with a long free-kick, neutralized by Montipò. Too little, though.
From 83′ Emanuel Vignato: sv.
Shon WEISSMAN 6: the balls he touches, up front, can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
From the 76th minute Gerardo Fusco 6.5: abundant sufficiency for the freshness it gives to the attack of the Hippocampus. Primavera forward born in 2005, son of former Salernitana captain Luca Fusco, he represents a great hope.
Mister Stefano COLANTUONO 6: in the last half hour of the game his team showed great dignity. It was good to have given minutes to the very young debutant Fusco.
Verona report cards
Lorenzo MONTIPÒ 6: he can’t do anything about the goal conceded in the 90th minute. In fact, a non-paying spectator for the rest of the mach.
Jackson TCHATCHOUA 6: he is more concerned with the defensive phase, not taking risks.
Pawel DAWIDOWICZ 6: without worries at the center of the Scaliger rearguard.
Diego COPPOLA 6.5: in the head they are all his. Also very good in the hallways.
Juan CABAL 6.5: excellent through balls on the left, useful for both Folorunsho and Noslin. Substituted midway through the second half due to physical problems.
From the 67th minute Giangiacomo Magnani 5.5: a little distracted in organizing the defensive department, on the occasion of Maggiore’s attack.
Michal FOLORUNSHO 7.5: constant danger both in the opponent’s area – when he is ready, following Lazovic’s suggestion – and from outside, when he hits a full post in the 80th minute.
Suat SERDAR 6.5: elbow grease in mid-field, where he recovers lots of balls.
Ondrej DUDA 6.5: uses strong methods when required, remains a point of reference also in the construction of the game.
Tomas SUSLOV 8: performance to remember: goal – textbook – that unlocks the match and many, many suggestions to his teammates. Tijjani Noslin knows something about this.
From the 81st minute Daniel Silva: sv.
Darko LAZOVIC 7: slippery. His was the winning assist for Folorunsho’s goal.
From 91′ Ruben Vinagre: sv.
Tijjani NOSLIN 6.5: participates directly in Suslov’s goal and with a “second assist” in Folorunsho’s attack. One vote less for a couple of very wasted opportunities.
Mister Marco BARONI 10 cum laude: in January, due to financial problems, they literally dismantled his team, emptying it of all the big names, a move that would make anyone resign. But not him. He immediately gets back to work and builds an even hungrier group. Masterpiece, after the one in Lecce last year.
