The crucial week has already begun but Cosenza will start preparing for the home match against Benevento from today. Having played on Saturday and taken to the green lawn on Sunday allows Buscè’s team a few extra hours of rest before heading to the first crossroads of the season. “A day of rest can be more important than training,” the coach said recently before a match. In a period in which mental and physical energies begin to be worn out by commitments.
Therefore, even rest can become an ally of Cosenza. Even more so for a squad that doesn’t make depth one of its weapons. Cimino’s injury has thinned the list of available players even further. In addition to the full-back, Kourfalidis, Arioli and Novello, Barone and Begeldo did not participate in the trip to Latina, although the club did not clarify the reasons for their absence.
Among the positive indications filtered from the “Francioni” away match is the fourth unbeaten record achieved by Cosenza. Thomas Vettorel had finished for the last time without conceding a single goal on 26 October, the day of the 3-0 victory against Potenza. The Venetian goalkeeper once again secured his safe in Latina, in a match in which he was rarely called into question by his opponents. The impression is that the rossoblù have chosen the line of pragmatism.
After the draw against Altamura, Buscè concluded by deploying the 3-5-2 against both Casarano and Lazio. A move that will probably be seen often from here on out in those matches in which the Sila players find themselves in control of the match a few minutes from the end.
