Another draw, the second consecutive at home. With the 0-0 against Juve StabiaThe Catanzaro reminds himself and his fans, once again capable of filling almost the entire “Ceravolo”, that this year will perhaps be tougher than the last one. Either because the Giallorossi can no longer be a surprise, or because so much has changed and it is normal to need time to see the new creature of Caserta recorded to perfection. But the draw with the Campania team, who had beaten Bari in their debut, is not to be thrown away: it comes after a first half played better by the opponents and the thrill of a goal disallowed by VAR in the 11th minute of the second half. It is true that Petriccione, Pittarello And Pumps they hit the woods, Iemmello it almost hits the jackpot in injury time and ends on a high, but that’s okay. The soul is there, everything else will be there.
Caserta confirms the 3-5-2 module and the entire formation from last Sunday, giving up Scognamillo And Pittarelloreturning from disqualification and on the bench like the new arrivals Dry And Cassander (there’s also in the stands Buso). Ten confirmations also in the Juve Stabiawhich compared to the team that won in Bari, has Varnier central defender as the only exception in the 3-4-2-1 which in defensive terms becomes a 5-4-1.
The guest lines are compact and the markings are practically man-to-man, especially on Iemmello (Varnier follows him everywhere), but with the immediate and well-executed objective of immediately restarting vertically, which as the minutes pass also turns into excellent dribbling. The Campanians are dangerous on a corner scheme (10′) and manage to ensnare the home team’s play, which has no outlets on the wings and does not have a handle on the situation in the middle of the field, but when they manage to find a corner, the serve of Bridge in the heart of the area it is deflected onto the top of the crossbar by a header from Petriccione (26′). This is the only episode in favour of the Giallorossi, less incisive than their opponents who at half-time have the only fault of not transforming their greater brilliance into something concrete. Pigliacelli raises a left-footed shot from the possessed man over the crossbar Florians at the start of the second half, but the most anticipated protagonists continue not to be seen, also because the long throws from behind looking for the forwards are all from the Stabia defenders.
The goal of Candle (11′) cancelled for offside Bishop at the beginning of the action, after a long VAR check, he marks a new balance: Pittarello detects Bias and within two minutes he hits the crossbar (another one for the Eagles), the Juve Stabia he tries anyway, but in transition the Catanzaro takes the pole with Pumpsjust entered (23′). The match is now beautiful because the Juve Stabia it is longer and the Calabrians are more ready, among the Campanians the best comes out, Varnierdue to injury, the hosts replace Dry And Scognamillo (For Pagan And Scognamillo) and we switch to 4-4-2.
Pittarello drag and the Catanzaro he believes in it, collects corners and is often seen in the last twenty meters of the Campanians, but in the end he comes up against the lack of clarity in finishing or in the conclusion phase, and when he manages to find the goal with the header of Iemmello in recovery, Thiam he stretches out to his right. And it ends 0-0.
