Below is the TOP 11 of TuttoMercatoWeb.com who opts for 4-4-2:
Gasparini (Union Clodiense): but what game did the visiting goalkeeper play? An incredible series of providential interventions that allowed Tedino to debut with a very heavy victory that reopens everything at the bottom of the rankings. Amazing on Iori and Pogliano.
Laezza (Vicenza): he comes in coldly due to Cuomo’s injury and confirms that he is an added starter and not a bench player. Practically perfect performance from the red and white defender, statistically he managed to win all the individual duels without missing a single intervention. Absolute master of the penalty area, an insurmountable wall for the Pro Patria attackers.
Lactantius (Union Clodiense): first external blow of the season for a team that was perhaps relegated too soon, but instead has no desire to interrupt its fairy tale without a happy ending. He scored the goal to make it 0-2 in Lumezzane’s moment of greatest pressure: a dive into the goalkeeper and the ball into the bottom of the bag. Pro Patria and Caldiero Terme are warned
Potop (Albinoleffe): on the day in which the Lombards took the field with some unavailability in the offensive department, a defender disguised himself as an attacker and even scored a brace. The second goal, in the 93rd minute, was a cold shower for Pergolettese and a great satisfaction for coach Lopez, given that everything was born from a scheme designed on an inactive ball.
Kritta (Lecco): after a series of negative performances by an unrecognizable team it was essential to start well especially for psychological reasons. And he immediately unlocks it with a nice shot from the edge of the area, with Minelli not perfect in the circumstance. Perpetual motion on the relevant lane, especially in the first half of the game.
Rada (Trent): it may be true that Arzignano’s defense falls asleep and is positioned very badly on corners against, but he is very good at evading the tight marking with an almost centre-forward movement. He is the author of the 1-2 goal which is worth three golden points for the standings and for morale.
Zonta (Vicenza): fresh from renewal, the midfielder starts – surprisingly – from the bench. After all, he has been dragging the wheel for weeks and it was necessary to catch his breath to stay on top in view of a very interesting final rush. However, once again, he does his duty in full: he enters, drags his teammates along, recovers balls and scores the final goal of 0-3 by taking advantage of a long throw from the goalkeeper.
Fusi (Padua): he is perhaps the player who has improved the most since the start of the season, an element that the excellent Andreoletti can no longer do without. It is impossible to count the tackles won and the balls recovered in every area of the pitch. He stubbornly wins a crucial penalty kick at a crucial moment of the match. Passed with full marks.
Balestrero (FeralpiSalò): a superior technical gesture to close the match and secure, perhaps definitively, third position. Very powerful right-footed shot from 25 meters and the ball into the top corner to the disbelief of the entire Virtus Verona defence.
Vlahovic (Atalanta U23): Is he the strongest attacker in the group? For posterity the arduous sentence. He is certainly the perfect finisher for a team that plays by heart, expressing pleasant and offensive football thanks to Mr. Modesto’s ideas. He unlocked it after 10 minutes at the end of an action that would be euphemistic to define as confusing, he closed it at the start of the second half taking advantage of a perfect assist from Bernasconi.
Comi (Pro Vercelli): who, if not him, to win a victory that feels like a breath of pure oxygen? He takes advantage of a cross from Clemente and puts it in the corner with a splendid header, doubling the score in the second half also thanks to the good play on the Coppola-Iotti axis.
Francesco Modesto (Atalanta U23): it is confirmation of the fact that a “playful” coach must have time to convey his ideas, especially when leading a group of young people who need to grow. The club did well to entrust him with the ambitious project of the “B team”. The ranking rewards him, this time too.
