The team of Stroppa appears in a comparison blocked and conditioned by the storm that hit the Bentegodi
The last five challenges between Verona and Venice had always seen both teams go by scoring. It was not the same in the game staged at the “Bentegodi” valid for the sixteenth of the Italian Cup. A meeting blocked on 0-0, under the flood and momentarily suspended for hail. A balance also due to the massive turnover of both Zanetti and Stroppa. And the insertions of young and Orban in the final for the hosts were gradually served. The dispute resolved, consequential outcome of a game without real goal balls, to the penalty kicks. The lagoons 5-4 won, marking all the penalties pulled. For Verona, the second was fatal, saved by Plizzari in Ebosse. Instead, the last shot from Nunzio Lella’s disk to give to the lagoons the challenge of San Siro against Inter is decisive.
the game
–
Zanetti, in the championship perspective, changed the formation to the field that took the field against Juventus. Stroppa, for his part, preferred to rest completely adoring and Busio, putting Yeboah only in the second half. He was affected by a little spectacular first half, not helped by a very heavy field due to the rain hit on Verona. Which, becoming hail, also forced a stop of about a quarter of an hour at the beginning of the second half. Not even young and Orban, inserted in the final, managed to enrich the offensive themes. The meeting was very fragmented, with some unrealistic conclusion from distance and assaults with little conviction from both sides. Venice created the only real danger, thanks to the young Compagnon: good personal initiative on the right wing in the first fraction, but without making the accident spin enough when it concludes. Perilli was ready.
the penalties

However, the yellow -blue goalkeeper, who underwent 5 penalties out of 5, was not as reactive on the shots from 11 meters. Better Plizzari, who after promotion from C to B last year with Pescara tries to carve out his space, despite having a quality goalkeeper like Stankovic in front of Stankov. Paranding the penalty of Enzo Ebosse, among the worst of his, he actually given Venice the pass for the round of 16. The lagoons will challenge Inter to San Siro in December, with the date still to be defined. After the comeback suffered in Pescara and the internal stop against Cesena such a result is oxygen for the Stroppa team. Who will be able to face the already delicate challenge on Saturday against Spezia with a renewed spirit.
