Victorious on Wednesday, opponents in the one-off match on 13 October that will be worth the quarterfinals. The blue Albertini cuddles Razzitti. Tomasoni conquered by Quaggio-Bahirov
PAVIA
The Wednesday of the Italian Cup promotes Pavia and Vogherese who after the derby that inaugurated the championship (2-1 comeback victory for the Azzurri thanks to two penalties converted by Gypsies) will face again in a dry match on 13 October to establish who will enter the quarters. An intriguing challenge, therefore, between two teams divided by historical rivalry, which also gives further flavor to the championship.
Albertini is not satisfied
Second victory in 4 days in a derby for Pavia. After the winning debut in the league with Voghe, on Wednesday night at the Fortunati the Azzurri overcame the Accademia Pavese (1-0) with a penalty from Andrea Razzitti, who arrived a week ago in via Alzaia. If with the Rossoneri, Mr. Albertini was satisfied with the result and the test, now he enjoys the passage of the round in the Cup but he is not not fully happy with his team’s performance. «We take the victory and pass the round, but we didn’t play a good match – admits the Pavia coach -. These days, at the beginning of the season, however, what counts first of all is to win and we have also succeeded with the Academy. The progress in this race is that we have not conceded any goals; moreover we have given the possibility to many players who have arrived along the way to refine their condition. He scored and played 90 ‘Razzitti who needed it With a large squad we can manage more solutions and this will be very important in a long season. Then moving forward in the Italian Cup was a goal, we have never hidden it, and we are happy. Will we face the Vogherese again? We will think about it in a few weeks, when the appointment is approaching. Now I, and all of us, have to think about Sunday’s trip to Milan with Calvairate, a difficult match. We will play – warns Albertini – – against a good team, which always gives their best at home, because they are used to playing on a synthetic and tight pitch. We have two training sessions to better prepare for this challenge ».
Rossoneri enthusiasm
The victory with Varzi and the consequent access to the first knockout round of the Italian Cup, where there will be another derby with Pavia, has brought enthusiasm, confidence and new tactical options to the Vogherese home. In the trio inflicted on an opponent as rated as the grenades, Mr. Tomasoni presented an innovative set-up, with the three-man defense and the attacking couple made up of Bahirov and Quaggio, both of whom scored: “This change of game system was born from evaluation of the players I have available – explains coach Tomasoni – it can also be a path for the future, but we must train to be able to play both three and four in defense. The two strikers did very well, we managed to put Varzi in difficulty and I’m happy with their goals ».
In the third official match of the season, the usual problem of the second half emerged, with Voghe withdrawing too much into her own half: “In the first half, we see that the team has a precise game identity and an idea of football brave. It’s a question of offensive mentality, and we need to work on it. With Varzi, I have seen improvements in this sense. It is true that we suffered in the second half against an excellent team, which has quality and physicality and our goalkeeper De Toni was very good, but then we managed to restart, and we scored two goals in the second half ».
Voghe, reassured by the success on Varzi, prepares for the home championship match with Vergiatese, where the lateral Riceputi will be missing, stopped for two rounds by the sports judge after the expulsion remedied in Pavia. There will be time to think about the Coppa Italia derby with Pavia, an appointment that the Rossoneri team wants to honor in the best possible way. —
