Derthona, goals with a dropper and decreasing physical condition 3 points are needed for the playoffs

TORTONA

The braking of the Derthona is explained above all by the numbers of the attack. The data described a very prolific team in the first part of the first leg and in the first half of the second leg, when the goals scored were close to an average of two per game. In the last seven games, however, all without wins, the goals scored have been three, all in the last three games and only the last two on open play, both by the same player, Diallo, who took over from the game in progress. Only the defensive impermeability, which has also dropped in the last three games with 5 goals conceded, has kept Derthona afloat and allowed to move the ranking, with five points that allow you to still be referees of your own destiny in a play off key: with 3 points in the next two games, against Sanremese at home and Novara away, Derthona will be in the top five; maybe even less will be enough if Bra and Chieri don’t win both of their matches.

The decline, however, can be explained under three profiles: the athletic condition, the forced absences, the changes of form. “We are a bit ‘in decline as a condition, both for the close matches and for the numerous injuries, as well as for some preparation choices – underlines the dg Roberto Canepa – The changes of form were dictated by absences, even if in attack not we never went to an emergency, but forcibly changing interpreters due to injuries and disqualifications inevitably affects the results ». The last two races, against the first two in the standings of a championship already assigned, will be the last obstacle: to recover as many elements as possible the priority. –
