Two actions, two goals, the end, that’s all the Catanzaro revelation. The team of Vivarini had the only great merit of having been able to exploit one hundred percent the only two defensive amnesias of the Neroazzurri, for the rest of the match they limited themselves to defending themselves, literally crushed in their own half of the pitch by Aquilani’s boys who in the end, statistics in hand, they shot on target eight times against only two for the Calabrians.
No, we didn’t really see the current twelve point difference in the standings. Unfortunately, Pisa once again comes out heavily penalized by its now consolidated and undeniable limitations in the defensive phase; just try to imagine if these positioning errors had not occurred either yesterday or throughout the championship. Instead, precisely because of this unresolved pathology, partly due to a incomplete market and partly to a way of being on the field wanted by the Coach, we often found ourselves having to make up for largely compromised matches, and only when there was nothing left to lose did the team once again demonstrate that, if it frees itself from having to meticulously apply the tactical creed on which it is working since the beginning of the championship, she finally manages to be more vertical, more vehement and more incisive.
Although certainly not decisive for the result referee direction is insufficient, which appeared “imperceptibly” unbalanced in favor of the guests. The few Giallorossi fans who arrived, colorful but very quiet, may be happy to have taken away an undeserved point, but certainly if this Catanzaro is thinking of Serie A, any other team of those that will finish from third to eighth place is entitled to do so. likewise.
Yes, the playoffs, now we can think about it, until a few weeks ago there was no point in talking about it and it was just a dialectically “muscular” exercise, given that we spent the entire championship close to the playout zone: it was extremely common sense and realism to set the goal of Salvation, now achieved. So the time has finally come to have fun and try, starting from Cremona, on May 1st at 12.30: the seventh and eighth place we will therefore play against Brescia, Sampdoria, Cittadella and Sudtirol, five teams for two places.
We are therefore experiencing this championship finale with great serenity, the regular season of which will end in just two weeks.
