Good test for Empoli who play and win against Castelfiorentino. 11 goals to zero for the Azzurri. A friendly match that, beyond the opponent’s technical value, little more than a sparring partner, allowed Zanetti to get the first indications. The coach rotated all the squad available but the “real” Empoli was seen in the second half. And it was actually different, considering the “miserable” 0-3 of the first 45 ‘.

Obviously one-way game. Empoli immediately took the lead with a goal from La Mantia after just 5 ‘of play, followed by goals from Crociata on 14’ and that of Ebuehi who closed the first half 3-0. In the second half, Empoli engaged the owners and the high gears and the game had little history. Stulac, in great dusting, rises to the shields with Parisi, with a brace each. At 77 ‘comes the moment most awaited by the fans who were able to applaud Mattia Destro, author of the first goal with the Empoli shirt. The center forward closes in the best way the one two on the strait with a precise conclusion of the left. Glory also for Baldanzi and Satriano.

A challenge that in addition to individual satisfaction has also left some indications on tactical choices as a legacy. Zanetti rotated men but never gave up on the form. The impressions of him are being taken up by planetempoli.it. “An important feedback, we are raising the pace and also good. I saw the right mentality and a ball game on the ground that I really liked as well as the continuous search for depth. Clearly they gave it to us but I still saw several individualities that I was well impressed. I want a team that seeks possession and then undermines the opposing defense vertically. Obviously the next matches will have a different meaning but I needed the boys to be free in the search for a game. Now let’s just think about closing the game in the best possible way. preparation, intelligent management is needed, this championship is long and must be managed “.
