Reggina transformed the “in or out” challenge of Vibo into an opportunity to rediscover its strength. Today’s match with Pompeii it is, instead, the opportunity to turn the injury emergency into an opportunity to confirm how long and competitive the Amaranth squad is. The injured Lazar, Cham, Salandria, Barillà, Porcino, Dall’Oglio and the suspended Forciniti will not be there. Among those called up is Renelus, but it will be clear how much autonomy he has after the muscular problem he had. Trocini can still field an important eleven and also has margins of choice. Both in relation to the tactical attitude and the interpreters to be sent onto the field initially.
Barring any surprises, we will still see Reggina with the 4-3-3. In front of goalkeeper Martinez, the confirmations of all the available players among those who played at Razza are expected. First of all the class of 2006 Vesprini (author of the assist for the winning goal) and then the two central defenders Adejo and Girasole. There will be no Cham on the left, his replacement should be Malara who is still born in 2005. The same cannot be extended to midfield, where compared to the last championship match the entire starting midline will be missing. Laaribi, who took over well on that occasion, has recovered and should be positioned in front of the defence. The other two midfielders in the 4-3-3 could be Urso and Giuliodori.
Ba is back among the squad, but the feeling is that he may initially remain on the bench also to have an extra option on the bench as a pure midfielder. Which, to be clear, is not Giuliodori. The Argentine potentially has similar characteristics to those of Porcino who, as a midfielder, often moves wide. The objective would be to open up the spaces for Perri who often goes to take up space between the lines as a lateral player. Giuliodori is a right-footed player, but even with Pergolizzi he was seen playing on the left. Since the latter was born in 2004, Reggina would go into the field with four under (Peri was born in 2005). The center forward Barranco and the other attacking winger Ragusa complete the trident.
The Amaranths’ opponent will be a Pompeii team that seemed to be a candidate for a top position championship, but which instead is now aiming for a quiet salvation. In recent weeks he had said goodbye to several big names including the former amaranth Andrea Zanchi, Giuseppe Rizzo, Vincenzo Sarno and the striker Di Piazza. The team coached by Gianluca Esposito plays with the 3-5-2, a formation that has bothered the Amaranth offensive phase this season. The Danish Troest (born in 1987) plays in defence, having faced Reggina in higher categories with Atalanta, Varese and Juve Stabia, as does the thirty-three-year-old striker De Luca (with Varese and Virtus Entella).
