Keeping the threshold of conviction and self-esteem high, to continue the growth path that Messina has not yet completed. Indeed, in which it is fully inside, just as the championship is being played. There are players who are reaching full fitness along the way and a team that is getting to know each other through playing.. Inevitable for a team built on the fly during the summer, as a “tradition” in recent years due to the confusion dictated by corporate choices and delays. So everything appears to be in progress, from the assimilation of Modica’s concepts to a complete identity in being on the green rectangle.
There are still elements to discover and many aspects to improve. So even the choices of formation, from time to time, can change, based on what the championship has said but also on the type of performance shown. Going to the individuals, it is likely that an ever greater space will be called to have Petrungaro, who at the “Scida” of Crotone, although not influencing, has shown some interesting ideas. It remains to be understood, instead, which paths Modica will take to complete the department. If the experiment of Anatriello wide to allow the use of Luciani as a terminal worked with Taranto, it appeared less functional in Calabria last Saturday. A reasoning also linked to the midfield positions, with Pedicillo who continues to convince with the quality of his playswho by moving back should occupy a position that is not there at the moment, given that the trio in midfield should be composed of Anzelmo (or Petrucci), Garofalo and Frisenna (who was not at his best for the last match). In short, there is room for maneuver and the possibility of rotating the interpreters based on the type of match to be played.
What needs to be improved is the defensive approach. Beyond the decision to play with Lia on the left and waiting to evaluate the skills of Morleo, a left-handed player who should represent the real alternative to Ortisi, it is the “readings” that continue to worry because they force us to constantly concede goals, effectively starting on an uphill slope. Updating the data, it is the fifth consecutive match between the championship and Lega Pro in which the Acr goes behind. It is a fact on which to reflect and intervene.
More generally, the impression is that we need to work on achieving team maturity.with the identification of leaders who are at least technical if not character-based, because there are games in the category that are won with personality and spirit, others with performance and physical caliber. It does not seem a coincidence that Messina, up to now, has paid away for the flashes of others in key moments of the games, against opponents who are perhaps stronger overall but not for this reason unbeatable.
Now we will return to the friendly walls of the “Franco Scoglio”, against an opponent who has not yet won in the championship but has drawn three times. Starting to score points again is important.
