The B the next day – Pisa, a shock is needed – L’Arno.it
While Lecce and Monza, except for sensational harakiri, will celebrate A on Friday, on Friday Pisa, after having once again promoted the opportunity of the live broadcast, will find himself forced to win in Frosinone to secure at least the fourth place (remains a glimmer of hope where Monza would lose in Perugia and Cremonese would not go beyond the par in Como).
Because the risk of finishing seventh, even by drawing, could be around the corner: Benevento, Brescia and Ascoli, who are following us at the moment, will receive respectively Spal, Reggina and Ternana, three opponents who have nothing more to ask for in the tournament: we hope in their professionalism.
Sin, sin, sin, from the victory against Cremonese the championship then reserved for us mostly bitterness, with a common denominator of a constant involution of play and ideas.
Even against a strong-willed but clearly inferior Cosenza the Neroazzurri were not able to close the game (only Sibilli’s crossbar shouts for revenge), they gradually lost control of the midfield and then immediately equalized on the now usual defensive inattention.
The choices of the Coach are also clearly questionable, as he waited for the eighty-first minute to make four changes. We all love Mister D’Angelo and we are grateful for the return to Serie B and the two consecutive saves, but this season, for now, does not allow me to spare him some criticism for too many continuous line-up changes and for several missed matches of the matches. .
Because the season is not over, there is still the possibility of recovering and perhaps of making a dream come true. But the shock must happen: continue with the usual “story” that we must still be happy, remember where we were up to five years ago, etcetera etcetera is a soporific refrain that sleeps and takes away strength.
We need to reinvigorate our intentions, return ruthlessly aggressive and stop being pleased with a positive year anyway.
Nothing takes my mind off that this time, with far fewer errors than those that occurred too much in the second round, the return to the Olympus of Football would have been possible. Instead, almost certainly, we will applaud Lecce and we risk having to do it with the Monza that we have always beaten.
At that point we go to the playoffs, where in theory defeat any opponent.
But not with this attitude, not with this approach, not like this.
Mister, do everything possible to reacquire and convey to the whole environment the ferocious desire to win that characterized the first round.
This is not the case, and it has been like this for too many days.
