.It happened again: the Venice he produces an overall strong-willed, positive and willing performance, where however he doesn’t materialize the ideas he has and falls against a Parma who limited themselves to doing their job and hitting when they had to. The comeback suffered by the yellow and blue is an excellent manifestation of what the lagoon players have been up to this point in this start: a team with unexpressed potential, which through its own faults does not bring home what it sometimes deserves.
So many regrets. And Di Francesco: “Bad luck? No, our responsibility”
It goes without saying that on the twelfth day we can’t still talk about bad luck or a badly played match. Di Francesco said it in the conference at the end of the match, speaking of “our responsibilities”, rather than bad luck. This Venice has limits above all from the point of view of maturity, of continuity in doing the right things within the same match, of malice (see the goal conceded on the counterattack, at home, in a match so far conducted better than the opponent) and of knowing recognize the moments of the match. Then there are also some from the personnel point of view, of course, but apart from the away match against Milan – where especially the episodes are badly shot – and for large stretches against theAtalanta, There wasn’t a match where Venezia didn’t have their say, demonstrating that they can compete in the top flight.
To make people eat their hands Pohjanpalo and comrades are above all those little things that don’t end up in the end-of-game highlights. One factor above all: the last pass, often imprecise, those centimeters that make the difference between a great chance and an action that ends up forgotten. Above all there is the example of Haps shot, with Pohjanpalo himself calling for an easy support in the center of the area, but leaving it to the last match, at least three more similar examples could be given.
The happy notes: Oristanio and Nicolussi Caviglia above all
There is no shortage of happy notes in this team. What stands out most of all is undoubtedly the growth of Gaetano Oristanio: he really seems like a different player compared to the shy and uncertain one who arrived in Laguna in August. Today he goes to get every ball and transforms actions from harmless to dangerous, with increasingly incisive moves. Nicolussi Caviglia It’s his second goal of the season after the one from a free kick against Udinese. It’s the other best news: he still loses some balls in midfield, but he never backs down from taking responsibility and providing game changes at will. Idzes and Haps confirm them (even if the episode described above weighs heavily on the Suriname winger). Pohjanpalo? He’s a bit isolated, his teammates are a bit mis-calibrating their passes, he’s a bit late arriving: postponed until better evenings.
