Application, organization and identity. Cosenza’s victory against Cremonese was not the result of chance but showed the imprint of Massimiliano Alvini. The coach has been working since day one with enormous passion and determination. His playing philosophy has been assimilated by his men up to this point. The success of the “Marulla” in their debut in the championship is certainly the best recipe for it to be developed further in a climate of trust. The away match against Mantova and the next tests will then give other signals on the state of the works. In the meantime, the 1-0 against Cremonese was due to the excellent interpretation of the match highlighted by D’Orazio and his teammates. And it is precisely in light of this that the almost 7 thousand at the “Marulla” paid tribute to the Tuscan coach with a big round of applause and chants of approval at the end of the match. However, memory is refreshed in a short time in every fan, as the past teaches.
The first three points of this season were scored with the center signed by the left-handed cursor from Abruzzo. The captain had been the most dangerous of the rossoblù even before the goal that came after half an hour. He had even tried on a corner kick, with a cross that was blocked by Fulignati at the second post. D’Orazio and especially Ciervo caused serious trouble for Stroppa’s team. Alvini’s 3-4-1-2 prevailed over Stroppa’s 3-5-2 also by virtue of the ability of the wingers to reach the opponent’s half with danger. If the left back scored the winning goal, on the other side, the product of the Roma youth sector produced several accelerations that sent Quagliata into a tailspin.
With a little more concreteness, the result could have been reassuring but Cosenza still needs adjustments, especially in attack.
Sankoh close to signing. Delvecchio’s work is not finished yet. It continues at a rapid pace. In the past few hours, Dutch striker Mohamed Sankoh has arrived on the banks of the Crati. The footballer originally from Sierra Leone has returned to Stuttgart after his loan at Heracles, a team in the top division of the Netherlands. He scored six goals with the Almelo club last season. Sankoh, who will turn 21 in October, will become a new Wolf. This is the second footballer picked up by the Apulian sports director outside of the national borders. The first, José Mauri, however, had already gained other experiences in Italy. The Dutchman from Stuttgart, on the other hand, will try his hand for the first time in a new context. He has already played in various countries, since he also passed through England, playing in the youth sector of Stoke City.
In the last few hours, contacts with Genoa have intensified to acquire Andrea Favilli. The Pisan striker, returning from a two-year loan at Ternana, can move to Cosenza permanently. He still has a year left on his contract with the Ligurian club but is out of the technical project and will change air before the end of the transfer market. His future is now very close to being tinged with rossoblù. Delvecchio has been in contact with his entourage since the beginning of the summer.
