CREMONA. Everything can be said, except that Pordenone lacks pride and generosity. Last in the standings, on the field of the virtual leaders, called to win to get to the top, the green-and-blacks play a great game, taking the lead first and surrendering in the final to a brace from Zanimacchia.
New defeat, therefore, after the draw with Como. But now only the honor remains to be defended. And from Zini, Bruno Tedino’s team came out with their heads held high.
Three news for Tedino compared to the initial eleven deployed against Como: Out of the bruised Torrasi, Lovisa returns to the owner after the disqualification.
In attack Candellone and Di Serio replace Butic and Secli, confirmed between the lines Cambiaghi – star of the team – free to invent. Pecchia chooses a 4-2-3-1 with Gondo and Baez in front of Di Carmine, the former Strizzolo starts on the bench. And it is he who warms up the match in the 7th minute, at the end of a good action at speed orchestrated and refined by Di Serio, who from the right opens the field with an excellent throw on the opposite side to look for and find his partner, who controls , enters the area and shoots a large diagonal, which splinters the crossbar.
The Pordenone focuses strongly on Cambiaghi, repeatedly sought by his teammates even from afar. And in the offensive heat they leave inviting spaces for the grigiorossi’s remittance actions, risking on a couple of occasions. However, the attitude of the green-and-blacks was beautiful, devoid of awe.
And the first half goes on like this: willing and determined lizards, Cremonese who risks little but does little even in the offensive phase. On the points, however, the guests are much better, which is far from obvious in a head-to-tail match like this.
Eleven confirmed for Pordenone upon returning from the locker room, Cremonese instead returns with Zanimacchia and Crescenzi in place of Baez and Casasola to change the inertia of the match. But in the 7th minute, as in the first half, it is the guests who have a great chance, on the development of a placed beaten by Lovisa. Pasa’s conclusion comes out a little.
Shortly after, outside Bartolomei and inside Bonaiuto. The grigiorossi try to raise the pace, but Pordenone continues to play its game of dribbling and determination. Precisely the quality, the latter, which leads to the goal of the usual Cambiaghi, who collects a short rejected by the opposing defense and with a splendid right-footed counterbalance from the edge finds the corner. Fifth center in the league for Atalanta’s sure future talent, the second magnificent in a row.
An advantage that does not last long, however, because in the 23 ‘with a blaze the Cremonese straightens the game: insistent action, pocketed by Valzania for Zanimacchia, black-green defense firm, surgical diagonal that bags at the edge of the pole. The Juventus-owned striker, who entered at the beginning of the second half, is a thorn in the side of the guest rearguard and the experience of Gavazzi, inserted shortly after for Lovisa, is not enough.
The number 98 soon touches the brace and achieves it in the 35th minute, using a fantastic vertical assist from Gaetano and mocking Perisan with a soft lob, ahead of Andreoni.
Pordenone takes pride out, goes very close to a draw with the young Secli, who has just entered for Candellone, and 5 ‘from the end remains in numerical superiority due to the expulsion – for protests – of Di Carmine. But, exhausted, he fails to organize a real final assault. Brescia arrives in Lignano on Sunday, another formation with Serie A aims.
