After the failed promotion in the final against Venezia at Cremonese, the future chapter opens with some of the protagonists of this season who should not continue their journey in grey-red. Among these the name of stands out Franco Vazquez arrived last summer from Parma, signing a one-year contract with the option to renew in the event of promotion.
For the Mudo, also thanks to a season not living up to expectations, the permanence seems very difficult with the ’89 class who therefore could seek, as a free agent, a new experience in Italy or elsewhere in view of next season. Even in the final the Argentine did not shine and was replaced halfway through the second leg of the match.
Vazquez thus ended the season with 41 appearances – 35 in the league, 4 play offs and two in the Italian Cup – with just five goals and seven assists. Numbers down compared to the two-year period in Emilia (25 goals in 75 appearances) also due to a difficult tactical position with the role of striker played only at the beginning with Ballardini on the bench and then a wandering between midfield and second striker under the management of Stroppa who he often forced him to move back to set up the maneuver, taking away his clarity in the final metres.
