Serie B, Venezia-Cremonese: scontro diretto per la promozione in A

The 35th matchday of Serie B offers a high-ranking match: Venice And Cremonese they compete in a crucial match for the ambitions of both teams. The match promises to be balanced and hard-fought, with both teams giving their all to win the three points. Venezia will try to exploit the field factor and the enthusiasm of the moment, while Cremonese will focus on the experience and quality of its individuals. The history of the clashes between Cremonese and Venice is full of precedents. The two teams have faced each other 61 times, with a balance in favor of the grey-reds (22 wins, 23 draws and 16 defeats). At the Zini stadium, Venezia has only won 4 times, the last time in the 2018-2019 season. The last precedent dates back to the 16th day of the current championship, with Mr. Stroppa’s men able to prevail in the final thanks to a goal from Ravanelli. The referee will be Marinelli from the Tivoli section

HOW THE VENEZIA ARRIVES – Vanoli’s Venezia is fresh from an important victory against Lecco and is in full swing for direct promotion to Serie A. The lagoon players currently occupy third position in the standings, behind Como. To stay on the train that leads to the top flight, Venezia is called to win a victory. Vanoli seems oriented towards deploying a 3-5-2 with Bjarkason favored over Candela for the left flank. In midfield, the Busio-Tessmann-Andersen trio will guarantee solidity and quality, while in attack Pohjanpalo will be supported by Pierini. Thus the coach before the match: “We must give a great performance and give our all to win in front of our fans. Once we get to this point we need to find the means to win them all, we meet a strong team with top-class players.”

HOW THE CREMONESE ARRIVES – Stroppa’s Cremonese is looking for points to make up ground on Como and stay in the running for direct promotion. Fresh from a goalless draw against Catanzaro, the Grigiorossi absolutely must win to close the gap on second place. Stroppa should opt for a 3-5-2 that mirrors that of Venezia. In attack, the pair formed by Vazquez and Coda represents a serious threat to the opposing defense, while in midfield Falletti will act as a midfielder with Zanimacchia on the right. Thus the coach before the match: “Venezia is one of the best teams in the championship in terms of characteristics, an excellent streak of results has led them to have a very good ranking. Individual qualities are important, the idea of ​​the game is also important, and like us they have achieved a top level. They are a very physical team, dangerous in the open field and on dead balls. We will need to win duels with intelligence and be good at set pieces.”

Frosinone, rediscovering the “Stirpe” factor: the home victory has been missing for three months now

Frosinone, ritrovare il fattore "Stirpe": la vittoria casalinga manca da ormai tre mesi

Rediscover the strength of the “Stirpe”. Frosinone is more than ever embroiled in the fight not to be relegated and the match against Salernitana could represent an important turning point in this final rush of the season. Eusebio Di Francesco’s team, after an excellent start, is going through a moment of great difficulty and now the ranking is starting to worry. The Ciociaria yellow-blues are in third-to-last place in the standings with 28 points, +2 from second-to-last Sassuolo and this evening’s match against Salernitana becomes decisive. If successful, they could receive an important injection of confidence for the last four races.

Two months without a win at home
To reach salvation, however, you need to score points in front of your audience. In fact, Soulé and his teammates haven’t won within friendly walls since last January 21st when, at 12.30 pm, Cagliari was defeated 3-1. Among other things, that is the only time in which the Lazio players have taken home the entire stake in the calendar year. Since then, only five points have come from as many draws.

The trend at home
At home then came a defeat against Milan on 4 February, another against Roma on 18 February, a draw against Lecce on 3 March, a knockout against Lazio on 16 March and a draw against Frosinone on 7 April . The two points collected in as many away matches against Naples and Turin can be a good springboard to finally reach the full spoils.

Udinese always brings him luck”. “La Joya purged again – writes the Corriere dello Sport – with his delicate and precious left foot which perfectly found Cristante’s head from a corner. Decisive”.

Video

In the end, a goal from Cristante with time expired decided the match. Roma conquers Udinese’s pitch and gives Fabio Cannavaro his first defeat of the championship. In injury time in the last 20 minutes of the match against Udinese, the Giallorossi gained three very important points in the fight for a Champions League spot. The match last April 14th was suspended due to an illness in N’Dicka and was resumed just yesterday.

Cannavaro’s words
“Certainly – Fabio Cannavaro said in the press conference – even in twenty minutes it turned out that there is some nervousness, there are carelessness that are paid for. I said that they have to stay calm, if I send them onto the pitch and they make a mistake, it’s the fault It’s not theirs, but mine, it’s normal that if you’re in this situation it means we make a lot of mistakes. From two days ago onwards I’ve been trying to limit these costly mistakes.”

De Rossi’s analysis
This is what Daniele De Rossi declared in the press room: “I spoke with the boys, I said jokingly that I had no idea what I had to do, I had never prepared twenty minutes of the match. I knew that probably playing with many attackers perhaps after only one minute I had to make substitutions to give more balance or maybe someone had to warm up so as not to even play, but there was application from all the boys.”

Below are the highlights of the match

Juve, agreement reached with Di Gregorio until 2029. Only agreement with Monza is missing

Juve, trovato l

Michele Di Gregorio it could soon be tinged with black and white. After the Milanese blitz on Wednesday evening by football director Cristiano Giuntoli, the Juventus managed to create a nice advantage over the contenders (above all Milan) for the 26-year-old goalkeeper from Monza and the confidence for the closure of the operation would have grown a lot.

In fact, according to what was revealed in today’s edition of Tuttosport, between the player and the ‘Old Lady’ there is already a principle of agreement for a contract until 2029 worth 2 million net per season plus bonuses. All that remains is to sign theunderstanding with Adriano Galliani and the Brianza club, who are currently asking for an outlay of 20 million but, according to what we read, they could be satisfied with an offer of 15 million plus bonuses or the inclusion of a counterpart like Mattia Perin. Juve certainly wants to hasten the closing of the deal, also to burn any new opponents’ additions.

Tuttosport heats up the market at the start: “Di Gregorio, there is an agreement with Juve”

Tuttosport in apertura scalda il mercato: "Di Gregorio, c

The burning revelation of the morning, placed on the front page of Tuttosportconcerns the ‘Old Lady’: “Di Gregorio, there is an agreement with Juve!“. Giuntoli’s Milanese blitz burns out the competition and significantly brings the Monza goalkeeper in black and white closer, ready to join the Turin club until 2029.

Gilardino’s future at Genoa remains almost uncertain, with Fiorentina and Turin always on his trail. While the victory in the Cesarini area over Udinese during yesterday’s injury time, Daniele De Rossi’s Roma must be sent towards the Champions League goal.

Juventus – Di Gregorio, there is an agreement

Genoa – Gilardino’s renewal does not slow down Toro

Rome – Cristante screams in the 95th minute, Roma as Champions

A goal that starts from afar and the coronation of Shevchenko: Napoli, all about Sudakov

Un obiettivo che parte da lontano e l

Last December in these columns we anticipated you the interest of Naples for the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, Georgiy Sudakov. A player who was watched several times live during the Champions League matches by the Azzurri scouts who are building the future of Aurelio De Laurentiis’ project even now alongside the new sporting director, Giovanni Manna. It is no secret that Sudakov is also in the sights of Juventus, but the Ukrainian midfielder has long been followed in every detail and secret by the Italian chief scout Maurizio Micheli and his men.

Who is Sudakov
Attacking midfielder born in 2002, he plays for Shakhtar Donetsk and was the driving force behind Ukraine in the European Championship. Until the semi-finals but that was enough to guarantee the Ukrainians a place at the Olympics. Now, the 21-year-old from Bryanka is an attacking midfielder, good at playing in a 4-2-3-1 behind the striker, but also as a midfielder or as an attacking winger on the left. Versatile, ambidextrous, from Metalist Kharkiv he then landed at Shakhtar at just seventeen and was among the protagonists of the historic Champions League victory against Real Madrid. Now he is one of the cornerstones of both the orange club and the national team.

Shevchenko’s coronation
On Rai’s microphones, in the 90th Minute program, the Ukrainian flag Andriy Shevchenko spoke about Sudakov himself, reserving special praise. “He is a very interesting player. He is dynamic, he can play different roles. I am not surprised that he is doing well in these two years, I called him three years ago to the national team for a pre-retreat with us before the European Championships and I also brought him He’s a great talent there, someone who could make an important leap in quality in the coming years, if he were to arrive in a big league like Italy, England or Spain. He’s very interesting as a footballer.

Juve, Allegri is studying some lineup changes for Milan

Juve, Allegri studia qualche cambio di formazione per il Milan

Juventus’ preparations continue ahead of Saturday’s match at 6pm at the Allianz Stadium against Milan. For Massimiliano Allegri good news comes from the nurse with Moise Kean who has resumed training in the group. The Juventus number 18 is close to being called up for the match against Milan. Today, however, for the Bianconeri it will already be eve and Allegri will be in the press conference at 2pm.

Allegri is studying some changes for Milan.
Massimiliano Allegri will be able to count on almost the entire squad for Saturday’s match against Milan. The Livorno coach, therefore, will be able to choose the best possible formation to try to beat Stefano Pioli’s Rossoneri. Although it is reasonable to expect some changes in the starting eleven given the recent close matches of the Bianconeri. Allegri will confirm the 3-5-2: he will return to goal Szczesny. In front of him he will find a starting shirt again Cats who will play with Bremer and one between Danilo and Rugani. He could play in midfield on the right Weah, after the assist in the Cup for Milik, the three very successful players will play in the middle McKennie, Locatelli and Rabiotwhile on the left Cambiaso he seems ahead of Iling Jr and Kostic. In attack, despite Milik’s goal, he will start again Vlahovic who will want to make up for the mistakes in front of goal against Lazio. This time he should be alongside DV9 Yildiz. The Turkish born in 2005 has not played as a starter since the match on 17 February against Verona at the Bentegodi.

After the Italian Cup, Juventus wants to recover in the championship too.
Immediately after reaching the Italian Cup final, Massimiliano Allegri spoke about how important it was for the whole group to achieve the first goal of the season: “Today’s match (Tuesday) was an important match, our elimination would have led to a dangerous psychological repercussion given that we are not yet mathematically in the Champions League”. To regain victory, however, the coach from Livorno knows that he must recover the defensive solidity that was missing against both Cagliari and Lazio: “When we defend with ten men all close to the It’s more difficult to score in the penalty area, but when you play in an open field with quality players like those of Lazio you risk exposing yourself more. We need to work better, it’s clear that if you concede fewer goals you’re more likely to win matches.” This is Allegri’s recipe for getting closer to the Champions League quota which, to date, is 7 points away.

Naples, another attempt to shake up the group: today Calzona speaks again

Napoli, altro tentativo per scuotere il gruppo: oggi torna a parlare Calzona

Napoli is approaching the match against Roma amidst tensions and protests. For weeks the discontent of the fans, as well as the errors committed by De Laurentiis or the coaches, has been forcefully directed towards the team, incapable of closing the match against Frosinone and then of making a shot on goal or a clean play against Empoli, suffering a humiliating defeat without even showing a reaction. This week we worked mainly on this aspect, avoiding a punitive retreat after Empoli, but anticipating the one on the eve of the match against Roma (starting today, in Caserta due to the lack of structures in the city due to the invasion of tourists) with rumors about a possible continuation in the event of another empty and soulless performance.

The conferences are back: will Calzona goad the team again?
At the Konami Training Center in Castel Volturno, at 1pm (live on Tuttomercatoweb.com), the Napoli coach will return to answer questions from the press in the pre-match press conference. The last time happened on the eve of the match against Barcelona, ​​in the Champions League, mostly due to the very stringent obligations of UEFA. Then only post-match interventions and in the last few he did not spare direct attacks on the team’s attitude, from the lack of ferocity in high pressure to above all the lack of malice even in simply creating density behind the ball line.

Calzona, however, confirms everyone
After Empoli it couldn’t have been clearer: “We have to work first on pride. We work very tactically, but here we go beyond tactics…”, the words of the coach who could publicly insist on this issue today to shake up the group publicly: the goal is to have at least a nervous reaction to be able to close the season in a dignified manner and save a European position. However, the formation choices will not change: despite the disappointment and discontent, Calzona should confirm the usual 11 with the returns of Rrahmani and Mario Rui.
