After scoring three goals at home against Foggia, Emilio Longo’s Crotone enjoyed a well-deserved rest on Sunday. The clear success at the “Zaccheria” brought enthusiasm back to the rossoblù environment, which was able to admire a compact, cynical team capable of imposing its own game with personality on a difficult pitch. A high level performance which certifies the growth of the group, which is good at reacting to difficulties and regaining confidence and conviction in its own abilities. Three precious points, accompanied by the fifth clean sheet of the season, enriched by three splendid goals: numbers that tell the solidity and effectiveness of a team that has so far scored 18 goals, conceding just 7. Data that confirms the quality of the work of Mr. Longo and his staff, capable of building a balanced and dangerous team.
Training will resume today at the sports centre, with our minds already focused on the next home match against Monopoli, scheduled for Saturday at 2.30pm at the “Ezio Scida” stadium.
The Apulians, fresh from the defeat against the league leaders Salernitana, remain a fearsome team, organized and equipped with good individuality. For the occasion, Mr. Longo will have to do without the Brazilian midfielder Vinicius who, having been sent off at the “Zaccheria”, will be disqualified for one match by the sports judge.
Gallo is ready to return in his place, who will join Sandri in the midfield to give balance and dynamism. The week will be used to take care of the tactical details and maintain high concentration in view of an important match to give continuity to the positive streak.
