The rossoblù are again third last, overtaken by Toro
CAGLIARI. Torino’s daring comeback victory over Sassuolo brought Cagliari back into the tunnel. The rossoblù are back third from bottom in the standings, overtaken by the grenades who have one point more and one game less. If Saturday’s match against Spezia was important, now it becomes fundamental in the race to safety, so much so that the team is already retiring in Asseminello.
A trip, that of La Spezia, from which it will be forbidden to return empty-handed so as not to reduce the hopes of maintaining the category to a flicker. The defeat against Juventus must be closed without looking back, if not to treasure the mistakes made. We need to focus on the first of eleven finals, against an opponent who knows how to be respected at home and defeated Milan 2-0 no more than a few weeks ago.
Support. President Tommaso Giulini yesterday 17 March spent a few hours in Asseminello. He followed the training of the team, spoke to the coach Semplici, probably to get news on how the team is reacting to the knockout with the Italian champions. The patron on the sidelines represented an extra stimulus for a group that wants to restart and firmly believes it can hit the target.
Re-enter. Pavoletti and Lykogiannis are back at their disposal. The attacker can prove to be an important weapon in La Spezia. The Italian team suffers on high balls, has conceded several goals from the head. The rossoblù striker is fine, he unlocked with Crotone, played a good match in Genoa and has two objectives: the first is salvation. The second, to convince the coach Roberto Mancini, in these eleven races that are missing at the end of the championship, to reinsert him in the blue group for the Europeans. The return of the Greek, however, will allow Nandez to return to the right wing, the one he prefers because he is more at ease.
The opponents. New case of covid positivity in the La Spezia squad. The latest round of control swabs to which the players were subjected brought out the positivity of the Argentine midfielder Nahuel Estevez. “Currently asymptomatic, the midfielder is already in isolation as required by the protocol,” the company said in a statement. He is the third La Spezia player to contract the virus in a few weeks: at the beginning of March the goalkeeper Provedel and another player from the squad also tested positive. Both are not yet at the disposal of the Italian coach, who risks losing Nzola as well for Saturday’s salvation challenge against Cagliari. The Franco Angolan striker has suffered from a muscle contracture and has so far missed all training this week. Its recovery is difficult.
