It is a Messina that can change the one easily the one made available to Simone Banchieri and built with the huge work implemented by Domenico Roma from January 14, the day of his new settlement as a Peloritano sports director. About twenty days lived with great intensity by the Calabrian manager, capable of entirely renewing a staff who, remaining in the same summer conditions, could not have aspired to salvation. Fill the obvious gaps of the staff and inserted more quality and experience players, capable of making the team more versatile.
Certainties. There are stopped points to rely on, starting from the deeply renewed defense. Gyamfi and Haveri (or wholesale who will not be against Picerno on Saturday) will preside over the external lanes, while Gelli and Dumbravanu will form the central pair. But the veterans of the first part of the season, like Lia and Marino, will still be useful in a championship final that promises to be intense and full of battles.
The top players. In the middle of the field, Messina found two essential references: Buchel and Crimi have already shown that they can make a difference, affecting the challenges against Casertana and Latina. With a growing physical condition, becoming more and more the real dragators in the race towards direct salvation, an objective suddenly returned concrete thanks to the four points collected in the last two days.
Physical condition. Precisely the theme of the athletic condition was analyzed by bankers at “Giallorossi antenna” on RTP: «We must level the physical level between those who come from different teams. We can no longer change what has been before, but from here on you have to work a lot. In the tests we have found a good level, now we will focus on the latest arrivals. The game must be read with the 15/16 players who can be used, but we need 22/23 elements of the same value. The management was good at identifying profiles at the height of our needs and with weekly work and we will grow up again ».
Tactical key. Messina has its own precise tactical identity, but Banchieri wants a team capable of adapting to needs. The midline will tend to three, with Garofalo free to fit to give greater weight to the offensive phase. But the technician could also opt for a two-tone dam with Buchel and Crimi, opening the road to a 4-2-3-1 that would allow Dell’Aquila, Chiarella and Vicario to act on the outside, giving amplitude and unpredictability to the maneuver.
Many solutions. In attack, the technician’s philosophy is clear: peaks close to each other, capable of dialogue and creating numerical superiority: against Casertana Petrucci he acted as a midfielder behind two offensive references; With Latina, Messina started with two finisrators in support of a single tip. Tordini, De Sena and Costantino are the main options and Luciani will also carve out his own space (but he will have to grow in self -esteem and quality). Piedicillo, on the other hand, could finally be used in his natural role as a midfielder, providing an important alternative between the lines.
