the party goes crazy in Mestre too

(In Enrico Scoccimarro’s videos the Venezia fans’ party in Mestre)

The Venice it’s back in A league. Mission accomplished and masterpiece completed, Cristian Gytkjaer’s diagonal midway through the first half knocks out Cremonese, allowing the orange-greens to cross the most coveted finish line. For the second time in three years Venezia wins the Serie B playoffs, flying among the greats, hoping this time to have learned the lesson. It is the triumph of a Duncan Niederauer humble and courageous to retrace his steps in autumn 2022, giving carte blanche to Paolo Vanoli and sporting director Filippo Antonelli, the first merit of which was not having “pity” and cutting off all the dead branches of a management that was too young and unprepared to play football. All forgotten, in fact today from 5pm the new orange-green heroes will parade in the traditional water procession in the Grand Canal, from Piazzale Roma to the parlor of Piazza San Marco for a big encore hug after the post-match one on the lawn of a sold out Penzo with more of 11 thousand hearts in ecstasy.

HISTORICAL
Once the almanacs have been updated, Mister Niederauer equals Maurizio Zamparini, gaining the leap to Serie A for the second time. For his part, Vanoli enters history like only Walter Novellino, Cesare Prandelli and Paolo Zanetti, succeeding where his teacher Giampiero Ventura had failed, in the first 90s when on the other hand he had launched a young full-back from Varese in Venice destined to join the orange-green immortals. Hellas would also be interested in Vanoli, who lives in Verona, to replace the departing Baroni, while rumors even report Bari’s interest in Antonelli. Not a small bugbear, however now on the table there is a Serie A which fortunately for Venezia (its finances) and its fans can shuffle all the cards and rewrite the next stages, with a better chance of retaining its valuable pieces.

A Venice that is good at impacting its “D-day” first and foremost on the level of total lucidity, which is essential for carrying out its task. The aggressiveness in pressing was immediately notable, however it took Cremonese a few minutes to settle down and make it clear that she did not want to abdicate. Pohjanpalo’s backheel for Busio and the ball transformed into gold by Gytkjaer sent the old Sant’Elena into raptures, in a challenge that remained alive until the final whistle which sealed a triumph as exhilarating as it was completely deserved. The lagoon players used their heads and nerves better, scraping off their remaining energy (43rd game for Venezia, one less than Cremonese) which, as Vanoli said, the heat of the sold-out Penzo would have increased for the last effort. So it was and the president of Lega B, Mauro Balata, handed over the Nexus Cup to the captains Modolo and Pohjanpalo. In reality, the future is immediately pressing, tomorrow in fact registration for the 2024/25 championship must be completed, a deadline that the orange-green club awaits with total serenity. In fact, after resolving the ex-Henry’s Fifa ban with the Belgians of Leuven and avoiding that of Sverko with the Dutch Groningen, Venezia closed the agreement last Monday and paid Bayern Munich for the purchase of the other French Cuisance in January 2022. As soon as the ban disappears from the FIFA website (perhaps already today at midday, or at the latest in a week) the club will again be free to operate regularly in the transfer market.
