The wait was all for Mimmo Berardi, at a step away from the roof of the 150 goals with Sassuolo and a strong candidate to take the scene. Instead, the neroverde striker sit in the stands due to a physical problem, “forcing” big to deploy Volpato from 1 ‘. Thus the role of the protagonist plays them Pinamonti: for an instant in the negative, when Montipi rejected him the penalty kicked penalty, then positively, when the decisive replies ends up on the goal. Between Verona and Sassuolo, in the advance of Friday evening, the neroverde team smiles that rises to 9 points and condemnation and Zanetti and the Gialloblù at a stop far from quiet.

grit

The start of the game fully reflects the key points of the respective coaches: Zanetti’s Verona is angry and aggressive on each ball, the Sassuolo of great test to overcome the asphyxiating yellow -blue pressure through the ball possession starting from the bottom. And the first opportunity, big, happens to the neroverdi. The former DOIG runs on the left using the constant sleeps of Nunez and accommodates for Pinamonti an easy tap-in, but the cutter intervention is sensational and in advance he cancels the potential 0-1. The game is played in the middle, on the duels of competitive arrogance between the Matic-Gagliardini and Kone-Serdar couples (among the best in the first half) who disguise themselves as giants, and the episode happens just before the quarter of an hour with a protagonist still protagonist: Corner Verona, ball spit out of Muric, a contrast between the Danish and Volpato and a touch of the hand of the Sassuolo. Penalty. Generous, because Volpato’s hands are in line with the movement of the body and moreover in the middle of a contrast. But the referee Fourneau comes out clean by reviewing the VAR a charge of nunez on the goalkeeper Muric out. Verona looks for the joker but does it with great confusion, so the first half rows away on 0-0.

calm and … boom

The very first minutes of the recovery give a better effect than melatonin, but as soon as the time of play from the bench of Big, changes and liveliness beats: Fadera takes a few seconds to do better than Volpato, Thorstvedt immediately gains a penalty for a late intervention by Nelsson. Here too, however, the VAR corrects Foruneau. The foul is out of the area, final decision: punishment. But it is only the antechamber of a shot from the spot that will arrive a few minutes later, because Serdar naively spreads a possessed Fadera and this time there is the penalty. Pinamonti kicks central, Montipò rejects, but on the reply the former Genoa sends the neroverde advantage to the 71st minute. The salvation clash flows quickly to sunset: Zanetti tries desperate to him by inserting all the attackers available, Grosso replies moved after move. Verona dives forward in the same way with which he had closed the first half. Confused. And Sassuolo defends himself. Until 97 ‘and … to victory. The very whistle ex big salt 9 points in the standings, Zanetti breaks nationally without victories.
