Something, that last-minute draw-mockery that the Juventus he tore it up with the penalty scored by Dusan Vlahoviche left. Yes, because if you are last in the standings and leave angry after a 2-2 draw in Turin against the Bianconeri, it means that you are not at all in free fall surrendered to fate as the rankings might suggest, on the contrary. Certain limits remain and emerge, above all that of concentration and malice: out of 29 goals conceded, Venezia He made 12 practically by himself between own goals, awarded penalties or turnovers in the first quarter of the pitch. Too many, just a few fewer gifts were enough to talk about a completely different ranking. But once again the team has shown that it is with Di Francesco: first by word of its players, who have always ensured that they recognize themselves in the identity transmitted by their coach, then in deeds, given that unlike other teams relegated to the bottom of the ranking, the orange-greens have indeed lost more often than not, but almost never by pulling out all the stops (apart from the 0-4 against Milan, which however came more due to episodes than due to the team’s surrender and in the 0-3 of Bologna). The team shows immaturity in managing the situations of the various matches, but is holding its own against most teams in terms of performance.
Ko Svoboda: what a pain
A big tile has arrived, however. Michael Svoboda he suffered a cruciate rupture and will be operated on: the season is probably over for him. We are talking about one of the coach’s loyalists, among the few to have never been involved in the turnover, together with Jay Idzes on everyone. If it was already known that the market had to bring in a new addition to the defense to lend support to a rearguard that perhaps needs more experience, this bad news only aggravates this need and now the matches against Cagliari and Napoli become even more complex to prepare , considering that in the other departments the conditions of the various Duncans, Sagrado and Raimondo must also be evaluated.
Oristanio and Nicolussi Caviglia blossom
In such a complicated season, the talents of Oristanio and Nicolussi Caviglia blossom. Much has been said about the former Inter player, especially after he put it into the top corner directly from a corner, against Como. There was less talk about the midfielder that Juventus let go without too many regrets and who returned in front of the former fans to show a previously unknown confidence in his abilities. Both are an intuition of the sports director and General Manager of the club, Filippo Antonellisomeone who has shown throughout his career that he knows how to identify talent in players that others aren’t so convinced about. And both are to be considered all of Venezia: the midfielder’s loan is only pro forma, but the redemption is certain. See when Antonelli himself brought the unknown Carlos Augusto to Monzafor example. This is why even players who today are considered mysterious objects, from Sagrado to Schingtienne And Yeboahsuggest they should be waited a little longer: on the other hand, if they are constantly taken into consideration by Belgium Under 21 and the senior national team of Ecuador, there must be a reason. Then that the market could have been better completed with other additions, this is evident, even if not totally dependent on the will of the management (but also for reasons of limited budget).
It must also be said that it is one thing to identify talent, another to valorise it: after the first few games, many were ready to reject Oristanio himself, for example, who today is a distant relative of the one who arrived in August. The growth steps that Nicolussi Caviglia was said to have to take, he is taking them all, one by one: from the need for him to be more of a leader on the pitch (for example in helping his teammates and getting the ball in hot areas) to shooting more in goal, as well as in making the team move with his direction. Others will have to be done, for example at a communication level. Only last year under his guidance the various Soulé, Barrenechea, Okoli and Brescianini emerged, at Sassuolo Berardi guides the young people he transformed: it can therefore be said that Eusebio Di Francesco did it again, waiting, advising, patiently working on talents that now everyone can see shine, but after hard months of weaning.
