Sampdoria-Spezia, the end justifies the means
Genoa. The importance of the three points taken with the Spice jaunty by Thiago motta (average age gap between the two formations), we will know it as we go along, but in the meantime this result will certainly bring some serenity within the group, that it cannot be denied having demonstrated, during the game with the eagles, aunity of purpose (in fight on every ball), which neglect could not be appreciated on the field. In this regard, a couple of runs of Gabbiadini, with sliding interventions, to stop the start of the action by the La Spezia defenders …
A foul game even with a dose of good luck (the own goal of Giasi), but also closed by a second goal of Candreva, at the end of a valuable action … Here it isformer Inter Milan continues to be the essential player of this team, to whose class everyone appeals, but on Friday they have particularly brillanteto Adrien Silva (perhaps the best performance since wearing the Sampdoria), a man everywhere, to dictate order throughout the field, but also to unravel dangerous skeins in the divensive phase and Omar Colley, author of a ‘monstre’ performance, so much so as to annihilate the young man first Janis Antiste and then the leathery M’Bala Nzola, systematically attacking and anticipating them.
Some have criticized the duo’s ultra-defensive changes Tarozzi / D’Aversa, but the final result proved their pragmatism right … Three points must be stacked in the standings and good for Sampdoria to have succeeded, albeit with the presence on the field in the final phase, with seven defenders. If we then enter into the merits of the choices, how can we not take into account the short blanket, available on the bench, where in addition to the three young Trimboli, Yepes and Ciervo, of non-defenders (among those not entered the field) there was only Torregrossa?
Widely cleared, therefore, the use of the Machiavellian ‘the end justifies the means’, according to which – in order to achieve the result – any action of the Prince (mister in our case) would be justified, even in contrast with the laws of ‘beautiful football’ …
And while Faggiano is already thinking about the next winter market (there are rumors of an English / Torrerossa exchange), D’Aversa, as of tomorrow it will have to think about the match against Atalanta from next Wednesday (6.30 pm) and a how replace the disqualified Bereszyński, result one of the most convincing players of these first nine days … Probably the choice still falls on the young man Drăgușin, considering that Depaoli it is more of a push than a defense and that a Ferrari only a few minutes were allowed, with the Spice, unless a Chabot, collected well and with the right determination against the eagles, but which has the handicap of using only the left foot, so, to deploy it, you should mobilize Yoshida to do the right back (already done with Ranieri) and have two left-handed people in the center (with Colley) …
To the coach the arduous sentence …
