The end-of-year report cards always say Pisa – Sport
by Francesco Paletti
Pisa is a notch ahead. The ranking says so, as confirmed by the former Nerazzurri Simone Calori, Gerry Cavallo and Vitaliano Bonuccelli who analyzed all three kings of the Nerazzurri and Benevento. The difference, however, is very minimal. A matter of details, which often make the difference in the games from inside or outside, such as those of the play-offs.
Defence
Pisa 7; Benevento 6.5
“With Caracciolo and undoubtedly by Hermannsson the gap would have been even wider because, net of the slip in Benevento, Pisa remains one of the strongest rearguards in the league” says Simone Calori, a promotion to Serie B with Pisa from Piero Braglia, today technician of Terranuova Traiana (Excellence). “Even so, however, D’Angelo’s defense has something more: because Leverbe is a giant in the category and Birindelli and Beruatto are among the best side players in the league – he continues-. Above all, I believe that the difference is made by the midfield: that of Pisa is able to guarantee greater protection to the back ward than that of Benevento. Because even the rearguard of the witches is made up of players like Barba or Glik, but without the coverage of the other departments who are also suffering “.
Midfield:
Pisa 8.5, Benevento 7.5.
“They have a lot of quality: in particular Acampora, who came out a bit battered from the Ascoli match, is an extraordinary all-rounder for the category, one of those I always want, but our midfield is stronger.” He did not double Gerry Cavallo: “In my opinion there is at least one point of difference because there in the middle Pisa has elements capable of doing both phases very well, I am thinking in particular of Nagy, one of the few who brings me the goosebumps for the skill and intelligence with which he manages all phases of the game “. The former Nerazzurri, in this regard, has a belief: “I think that in the first leg, in Benevento, we will see a more muscular midfield – he says -: next to Nagy and Marin, who are not arguing, I imagine Siega or Tourè, if he has found the condition. And I wouldn’t even be surprised to see Gucher behind the two forwards. ”
Attack
Pisa 8.5, Benevento 8
“For me the unpredictable variable, which can tip the scales on Pisa’s side is Lucca: because it is true that he has been very fluctuating during the season, but if he is well he is an absolutely out of class player”. Vitaliano Bonuccelli, former Nerazzurri player and bomber with 300 career goals, today coach of Real Forte Querceta is betting everything on Moncalieri’s battering ram. “Because the two departments are substantially of equal value: in Benevento there are Lapadula and Forte but Pisa responds with Torregrossa and Puscas. Do they have Tello? I don’t think Sibilli is outdone. And then there is Lucca: if it’s well, in B someone like him has none “.
