Cosenza’s relaunch mission still needs time. On Sunday, the rossoblù cherished the possibility of achieving their second consecutive victory, which then vanished due to Martino’s mess, who did not notice Wlodarczyk arriving behind him. The draw keeps Alvini’s team’s ranking precarious (all unchanged, -2 from direct salvation), which however found continuity in its results. The streak has been open for four rounds. However, it wasn’t enough to take flight because three of these ended in a draw.
The difficulty in reaching the goal has a profound impact on this aspect. Since the season began, only in two cases have the rossoblù scored more than one goal in a match. This happened in the away match against Mantua and then again against Sampdoria. In the first case, the Sila team still lost due to the three goals they conceded, while in the second they won. The other two successes of the season both resulted in 1-0 results. Even on Sunday, the Wolves were superior to their opponent for a while. With Reggiana it was enough to bring home the full result. Not at the “Marulla” because Salernitana managed to respond in the second part, also taking advantage of a superior squad. The rossoblù will have to start again from the positive sensations that have emerged in the last rounds. Alvini, in the press conference, showed appreciation for the match played by his men.
The aggressiveness exercised created great difficulties for the Granata until half-time. Martusciello’s adjustments and the growth of the Campania players then made it more uncertain in the second part of the match in which, beyond the circumstance of the penalty converted by Verde, Micai only made one save on a powerful but central shot from the same attacker. The Sila group confirmed that they follow their coach to the letter, with a maniacal application of his theories.
Meanwhile, the rossoblù patrol returned to work yesterday afternoon despite the day off granted by Alvini. The optional session was supported by all the players who divided their time between therapies, massages, gym and work on the pitch. A new training session is scheduled this morning. Over the course of the week, the medical staff will follow the evolution of the physical conditions of the players who came out of the match battered.
Among these Ricciardi, Mazzocchi and Strizzolo. The latter, replaced at the end of the first half, found his second start in a row, becoming the protagonist of a good performance. At the start he found the net, disallowed due to the initial offside position. Subsequently, he gave the assist to Aldo Florenzi for Cosenza’s lead.
Feeling. The Sardinian midfielder is becoming more and more the most driving element of the Bruzio eleven every day, after a year and a half of bitterness between physical problems and a lack of fitness. The number 34 is a key, omnipresent footballer. His quality is a fundamental resource in the race for salvation. With Salernitana, he also found the goal again. After having done the general tests seven days ago in the away match against “Mapei”, when on two occasions he came close to the targetfound it under the “Bergamini” South curve. A privileged feeling between him and the sector named after the Argenta footballer. Three of his four professional achievements, Modena, Palermo and Salernitana, took place right there. The other, against Parma, occurred under the opposite curve, the North “Catena”. Now that he is back as Cosenza’s leader and extra man, he will try to dispel the away taboo.
