It is immediately a eve in the Crotone house, expected for the fourth day of the championship in Potenza. A traditionally difficult trip for the rossoblù, who at the “Viviani” will find a leathery and motivated opponent, supported by the warmth of the public and by an often difficult soil on which to play.
For Mister Longo’s team, back from a positive beginning on the level of compactness but still looking for continuity in the results, the game represents an important test. The technician asked for greater incisiveness in the offensive phase: Zunno and Maggio will have to raise the level into one against one, while Gomez and Murano are called to transform the team’s work into concreteness in the door. In the middle of the Sandri camp it will still be the reference point, with Vinicius or Gallo to complete the median. The defense relies on the Cargnelutti-Di Pasquale couple, with Andreoni on the right and one between war and Groppelli on the left, while in the Merelli poles there is a certainty.
Longo insists on the need to exploit the favorable moments with lucidity, without taking back the center of gravity. On the opponent front, the power will focus on defensive solidity, quick exteriors capable of expanding the game and on the inactive balls, always decisive in the home stadium.
The race will be directed by Roberto Lovison of Padua, with assistants Leonardo Tesi and Davide Fedele. For Lovison it will be the fourth cross with the Pythagoreans: so far a victory and two draws the balance. In the stands there is also a representation of Crotone fans, ready to support the team in a useful game to measure the group’s maturity with a view to seasonal ambitions.
