Salernitana, teaching from Genoa: revolutions do not pay. The calendar allows you to believe it
The victory obtained last night by Genoa against Turin further complicates the salvation plans of Salernitana. And it is precisely from Liguria that a message arrives that cannot go unnoticed. The rossoblu, in January, despite having a better new and wealthy ownership, simply shored up the staff, indeed they lost Criscito and Caicedo who were among the players. Yet it was enough to include a few young prospects and focus on a level coach to ring a series of consecutive useful results, including draws without conceded goals against big names like Roma, Inter and Atalanta. A fact that should make the sports director think Walter Sabatini who, with an important budget at his disposal, disregarded the indications of the owners by focusing on players who had been stopped for an average of one year or by young foreigners who needed an adaptation time. Considering that the best are those who arrived in the summer, it can be said that it was enough to take one element of a good level per department to be able to look to the immediate future with excellent optimism. And if, without ownership and with a few euros in cash, the various Ranieri, Ribery, Bonazzoli, Lassana Coulibaly, Kastanos, Ruggeri and Zortea arrived, it was only right to do better with a thick president like Iervolino behind them and the possibility to spend a nice nest egg.
There is, however, also a reasoning that goes from a “glass half full” perspective. There Salerno he put a Sassuolo in great difficulty who wins and convinces against anyone and everywhere, he stopped the leaders Milan, for half an hour he did well with Inter, he deserved to win against Bologna and drew with the Spezia who came to Salerno at its best. The signs of growth, therefore, are there. And, with a few less arbitration pie, the classification would have been more interesting. Moreover, with the matches against Venice and Udinese to recover, Salernitana could theoretically hook Genoa and Venice itself at 22. Opponents with whom she has direct clashes in favor. And there is the fourth-last Cagliari which, in April, will be a guest at Arechi. Translated: salvation is still possible, especially if after the prohibitive away match with Juventus tomorrow, the gap from the Sardinians remains unchanged. After the break there will be home games that are all in all affordable: Turin, Fiorentina, Cagliari, Udinese and Venice. A direct match against Sampdoria will be played away, while Empoli could already be safe and calm at the penultimate, as well as Udinese itself if recovery were to be expected in thirty days. The famous 7%, therefore, can be fueled, even more so because the grenades have an extraordinary supporters on the side that can make their own difference. Also tomorrow, at the Stadium, there will be three thousand: few referring to the Europeans, can also count on such a following in the external field. And we all know how much Arechi can shift the balance in competition from inside or outside.
