Sassuolo collapses in Florence and the Serie B nightmare becomes more and more concrete. The long pre-match retreat on site was of no use, at the Franchi the neroverdi suffered yet another disappointment in a season that could prove historic, but for the wrong reason. The points behind 17th Frosinone, after the 5-1 defeat by Fiorentina, are now five and the team seen at work in the last 90 minutes gives no certainty.
The scenario is rather bleak, only Thorstvedt, scorer of the momentary 2-1 goal, manages to allow himself to leave the green rectangle without picking up a clear insufficiency. For the rest, emptiness. Also and above all on a character level, the aspect that scares the Neroverdi supporters the most in this season finale in which some sort of undertaking is now required. The forty or so people who followed protested.
Mister Ballardini in his post-match analysis he doesn’t seek too many justifications in the face of the bad impression, which he himself first called this: “I agree that it’s a bad impression, I also know that we have some guys who care a lot about us. The moment probably weighs on them so much that they struggle to express what they really want to give. We need to have a different focus, a different attitude and a different determination. We can also defend ourselves, it’s clear that Fiorentina has quality, but in your half of the pitch you have to be more aggressive and not just passively suffer it this evening”.
