The one at Zini against Catanzaro was a performance (and a result) that made all the Grigiorossi fans present wrinkle their eyes. A little less was given to the Venezia coach Vanoli, present in the stands, to whom Stroppa’s boys sent a loud and clear message: the Cremonese team to face in the double challenge will certainly not be the one seen the last time at Penzo.
Team and public responded in unison and decisively to Stroppa’s call, a great calling card in view of the double final with Venezia, which will be giving away the last available ticket for Serie A.
Mister Stroppa (rating 7.5) seems to reflect the newfound awareness and reliability of a group which, as he himself confirmed, provides him with a wide range of solutions. Hence also the choice to field a player with strong offensive characteristics such as Buonaiuto (7) from the 1st minute, to bring pressure into the opponent’s half of the pitch. In addition to the spectacular goal, a careful and concrete performance with very few errors.
Confirmation of Vazquez (8) as an offensive destroyer, he allowed the Grigiorossi to take the lead on the second opportunity of the match with a gem from his left foot. The third goal in the last 4 games played confirmed that, if left free from tactical laces and laces, close to and in the middle of the opponent’s area, it becomes decisive for the performance of him and the team.
The return from the 1st minute Tail (7.5) brought the 17th goal of the season, the 3rd in the last 4 games played, but above all an assist to ‘Mudo’, which confirms the potential of this pair of players when they seek and find dialogue close to the opponent’s area.
He didn’t score Chestnuts (8), but once again, after coming close to scoring from a free kick, he showed tactical intelligence equal to his class: Buonaiuto’s assist is one of the football textbooks
Yesterday the couple finally came back into the spotlight Sernicola-Zanimacchia: ‘Leo’ finally showed off an over the top performance and the 4-0 goal was the right reward (and incentive). On the opposite flank ‘Zani’ confirmed the excellent moment he is going through: serving the team with clarity and concreteness, the goal was on the tip of his boot.
To lend a hand in midfield Pickel (7), who repays Stroppa’s trust with a match of quality and quantity: his recovery on the opposing midfield, which triggered the grey-red offensive chain on the occasion of Vazquez’s opening goal.
Captain Bianchetti (6.5) offers a solid and effective performance, first as a left arm and then as a central defender. He pushes like a full-back, carries the ball like a midfielder and defuses Vandeputte’s shot in the first part of the match.
Radishes (6.5) plays for a half by muzzling Iemmello who actually doesn’t see the ball. He comes out at the beginning of the second half to give space to Lochosvhili (6) who once again answers present.
He was definitely one of the best on the pitch Antov (7), who dominated Biasci and annihilated Vandeputte on the occasion of Coda’s goal: ball eradicated from the opponent, triangle with Vazquez and assist to Coda.
Too bad for Gianluca Saro (6) which would have deserved another goalless performance. Apart from Antonini’s goal, a couple of easy interventions and confirmation of the excellent dribbling ability (and confidence) in the setup phase.
Falletti (6) came on in place of Buonaiuto and came close to scoring the free-kick; Ghiglione (6) e Mayer (6) brought the result to the 90th minute, while Collocolo (6.5) with a couple of shots of his own, including assists for Sernicola’s poker, he demonstrated that he has recovered from the physical problem.
