Salernitana-Spezia 1-0, Mazzocchi’s goal

From our correspondent Francesco Velluzzi

October 22
– Salerno

A gift for Franck Ribery who leaves football with a thrilling pre-match. Salernitana wins her third game, a real playoff against Spezia. Who, on the other hand, collects the sixth defeat away from home where he still fails to score. The work belongs to the jewel that Danilo Iervolino’s club even managed to bring to the national team: Pasquale Mazzocchi. A right-footed shot that left no way out for the superlative Dragowski who then saved everything he could. The strangeness of football lies in the fact that Spezia for 35 minutes did not literally show the ball to the hosts, playing a purposeful football made of concrete ideas. Then the grenades came out of their stupor, closed the time by putting their heads back forward and started the second, immediately finding the goal that changed the game. From that moment on, Spezia has tried in a disheveled and confusing way to grab the equal he has never found but has risked several times to suffer the blow of the knockout. So Salernitana gets out of trouble well, the Ligurian team stays there, waiting for Fiorentina.

Hello champion

The cover is obviously all for Franck Ribery who says goodbye to football, not to Salernitana, with an exciting, intense, tearful field tour. Especially the of him that the football has loved him since he was a child and would never have wanted to leave it. Everyone embraces him, from president Danilo Iervolino to coach Davide Nicola, passing by his teammates, everyone, and those from Spezia who stop to admire him and applaud him during the warm-up. Franck greets moved before leaving the scene to whoever has to play.

The match

It is therefore you play, on an absolutely summer day. That Gotti and Nicola, in fact, live in overalls. The second is getting much more agitated. Luca Gotti returns to the three-man defense, deploying his team exactly like his colleague, but with Agudelo who is more advanced than the others as a midfielder and acts more as a support for Gyasi and Nzola at the top. The start is entirely Ligurian, with Salernitana as a doll who is perhaps still thinking about Ribery. Bourabia and Ekdal that we enclose Radovanovic chosen as director because Bohinen is not yet at the top. “When I have everyone we will annoy anyone” Nicola had said after San Siro. For now he is bothered by Spezia who plays well in football, always with one or two touches, and enters the lines as he wants with the unleashed Agudelo and with Amian and Holm who work better than their respective opponents and with the Campania ( in black jersey, worse than the yellow one from Spezia) who do not oppose the men in the midfield. The home team seems passive, without play and ideas, always with a slow pace and the obligatory recourse of the defenders to the long ball for Dia and Bonazzoli. Gotti’s team earns corners, then shoots with Ampadu (head), Gyasi, Amian, (Bravissimo) Agudelo who creates the only real danger for Sepe who rejects. Vilhena (who pushes him) and Amian end up in a fight because Spezia doesn’t throw the ball away with Radovanovic on the ground. At 35 ‘Nicola’s team begins to play and has the most delicious opportunities. Strange football huh. Amian saves a goal, Candreva does the first thing and hits a post.

Second half

The recovery begins with Salernitana finds the wild card: Bonazzoli serves Candreva who puts in the center, rejects the defense in yellow, but on the feet of Mazzocchi who finds the game as a champion: a right-footed turn for Dragowski. The Arechi explodes, runs to embrace Ribery the Neapolitan blue …. who sends hearts to his wife in the stands. Gotti changes men and form, using all the offensive players, Maldini and Verde, Strelec and also Reca. He also changes the set-up twice: 3-4-3 then 4-2-3-1 to attempt the assault, but Salernitana defends herself by shortening well and compacting herself around the excellent defensive trio. The only risk he runs on a conclusion from Nzola that goes out very little. But the best opportunity is on the feet of Gyomber (perhaps the best in the field) who hits the right wing from outside and splinters the crossbar. In the final still Nzola goes close to equalizing by combining with Strelec on a wrong pass from Botheim. The sports director Morgan De Sanctis is agitated in his cage, but who stirred the hearts of the grenade is the fourth man who raises the bill of recovery: ten minutes. And immediately Piatek bewitched by Dragowski who then performs a double miracle on two of Daniliuc’s head shots. Salernitana takes her home, Spezia still collects. He dominated for 35 ‘but in the second half Sepe didn’t make a single save. And this must make Gotti think.
