Catanzaro repeated the tie of the debut, this time without taking goals in the house of La Spezia. A well -deserved draw because the opponents of Aquilani’s team gave only one shot on goal. But from Catanzaro it is legitimate to surrender something more in the offensive phase. The good dribble in midfield is fine but closing the game without pulling towards the opposing door is too little. In any case, not to lose is important. It helps to work better and above all to grow.
Throughout the first half, Catanzaro has tried above all to contain the initiatives of La Spezia without however hiding in their area. A mobile dam on the trocar and several attempts to recover the ball in the half of the field. But the team of Aquilani struggled to create game. Drocked on the outsiders, Catanzaro has often sought central penetration with Iemello to try to tie the game. No opportunity for the goal and three risks courses around half an hour.
First on an episode of Candela who missed the target slightly. Then (30 ‘) there was a decisive intervention of Pigliacelli who, with his hand, managed to intercept a great right of Esposito. Before the end, he also tried seriously with a conclusion from the center of the area but without creating problems for the Giallorossi defense. The first sign of life of Catanzaro in the offensive area is laid, needless to say, Iemello who feels the shot replied by the defenders.
Aquilani tries to impulse the maneuver by changing the whole left chain to the quarter of an hour with Di Chiara and Buso. The Giallorossi raise the pressure a little and with the dribble they keep the spice away from Pigliacelli. But they don’t sting. It is so a flame of the hosts in the middle of the half hour risks blowing up the plans of Aquilani, but of serious he does not release under the net.
Di Chiara’s prompt answer with a accident from outside traveling fast not far from Mascardi’s poles. The dangers come ten minutes from the end from a left of Beruatto deflected in the corner. But they are fireworks. Too little to scratch the excellent rear of Catanzaro.
Pigliacelli 6.5: if the Catanzaro came out unscathed with the first Clean Sheet is certainly his for the parade that denied the goal in Esposito in the middle of the first half. Safety.
Favasuli 6: race, determination and generosity certainly do not defect him even if he is also called almost exclusively to containing (from 40 ‘st Nuamah sv)
Bettella 6: He was among the protagonists of a defensive department that granted very little to the forward of La Spezia. He came out for a blow to the head (from 40 ‘St Bashi Sv)
Antonini 6: A proof of personality and safety for the central who also showed an excellent understanding with colleagues from the ward.
Verrengia 5.5: better in the defensive phase than in the propulsions also for some too much technical mistakes. (from 15 ‘st of Chiara 6: personalities and educated left -handed are seen immediately);
Pontisso 6: not his best performance but still such as to allow the department to work best especially in the central part of the second half.
Rispoli 6.5: the best of his for the ability to run the game even with appreciable technical qualities.
D’Alessandro 5.5: some good flickers but punishes very little in the opponent’s half. (from 32 ‘Frosinini Sv)
Iemmello 6: the captain even in a not particularly brilliant evening always finds a way to make himself useful. This time more in linking the game than in concluding directly.
Cissé 5.5: Navigate in the middle of the field without ever an acceleration or an idea to free the attackers at the shot (from 15 ‘st Buso 5.5: lots of movement but also for him an opposing area practically off limits)
Pittarello 5: there is no lack of commitment but too often it is out of the game even if few of useful balls have arrived few. He never manages to come to the conclusion. In the end he takes an avoidable yellow.
All. Aquilani 6: The point moves the ranking and adds certainties. Deserved result even if it was legitimate to expect something more in the offensive phase. The dribble in midfield put in great difficulty the spice that immediately immediately.
