Giacomo Quagliata on the one hand, Jari Vandeputte and Andrea Fulignati on the other. The Cremona race and his weaves, of ranking and personal, for three players who will be inevitable protagonists in the direct clash for the fourth place that at the beginning of the season should not have existed. If it has this value, it is greatly due to the merits of Catanzaro and equally to the demerits of the Lombards built to win the tournament and shipped almost immediately in a disappointing year if related to investments and all the well of God that the squad can offer.
Stroppa has so many thick footballers that he has allowed himself the luxury of starting quail. It is true that the left -handed exterior found no space and of the 61 appearances in Grigiorosso, from summer 2022 to last December, the 11 of this tournament saw it on the field for just 464 minutes, that is, less than the 483 ‘of the six races with Catanzaro.
Here, weighing the impact that the Palermo who arrived on loan with the right of redemption (it would become an obligation in the event of promotion) has had with the eagles, one can legitimately ask if he really does not deserve stronger: the goal and the four assists with which he is repaying Caserta say so much about the qualities of the boy, who began to make the luck of Catanzaro and his. Of course, the Cremonese took Azzi in his place, the Brazilian of Cagliari who had also been the dream of the DS Polito for the left wing, but there was no regret at the “Ceravolo”. The quail “poison” brought beneficial effects and its return as a starter, after the disqualification taken for granted with Reggiana, is not under discussion. At the “Zini” the 25 -year -old Sicilian will be very motivated, and who knows that he does not succeed and bringing out another of his shots on the placed, as he did with the three winning services of Brescia: without Iemmello on the field, the kicks from standstill could represent an even more important solution for the team that more than any other has marked thanks to a cross (13 goals).
Immediately behind comes the Cremonese (with twelve), who attempted the maximum in the tournament, 524, namely 158 more than Catanzaro. The lack of precision is one of the gaps of the Lombards, even if for a few months Vandeputte has resumed grinding numbers close to those he had in Giallorossi: three goals and eight assists, most of which since the end of November after having started to carriage.
Stroppa uses it from left -wing and not from outside with a thousand freedom to Vivarini, so the Belgian no longer has the centrality of his three vintages with the eagles (28 goals and 53 assists in 121 games), but he is always a race player. And the same consideration concerns Fulignati, goalkeeper with two magical feet who closed 35 of his 80 games in Catanzaro without undergoing goals, because he is also very good among the posts.
Both of two, Fulignati and Vandeputte, recommended their former club and the city that made them feel at home until last summer, when the Cremonese to take them to the “Zini” paid a lot of money (and has not yet finished, the balance at the end of the season). They probably did not imagine that at this point of the tournament their past looked at them from above, even just a point.
At the time of their farewell, it was thought to regret them more and instead nothing. It means that Catanzaro is really doing a great championship.
