Verona beats Cremonese 2-0 THE CHRONICLE of the first of the two postponements of the 17th day of Serie A
The playoff between unsafe players smiles on Verona who, in the postponement of the 17th matchday against Cremonese, win their second victory in the championship and their fourth consecutive point after that of Turin, all preceded by ten consecutive defeats. Sure victory against a bad Cremonese, never really in the game, perhaps the worst performance of a team that until now had liked at least for attitude and game. The ranking situation remains complicated for both, with Hellas leaving last place to the Grigiorossi and reaching Sam with 9 points, but the safety zone is far away, at 15.
After the emotional minute of silence with the faces of Castano and, above all, that of the great ex grey-red Gianluca Vialli on the Bentegodi maxi screen, the Cremonese seems to start well, aggressive but it is only a sensation because Verona passes at the first real lunge. Tameze shortens and recovers the ball on the edge of the area and serves Kallon, who scoops for Lazovic who is good at turning around and beating Carnesecchi. To review the defense of Cremonese with the central Ferrari and Bianchetti who leave too much space for the Serbian. On the wings of the advantage, Verona always plays the game. Djuric tries to head but Carnesecchi blocks. Then it’s a restart to double the Venetians. With Cremonese momentarily in ten due to Bianchetti’s exit having a cut on his face treated, it was Doig who broke the pressure from the Grigiorossi to carry the ball for at least sixty metres. Djuric is good in movement off the ball, Doig sees the insertion of Lazovic who hits the brace with a first intention cross right foot.
Cremonese is not there and the reaction is impalpable. Hien effortlessly wins the duels with Rusticano Dessers, Bonaiuto and Zanimacchia do not light up, the Cremonese is unable to worry Montipò. At the end of the more than doubtful contact between Hien and Dessers, hooked up in the area but the match director consults with the Var and does not take action. In the second half Cremonese tries to raise the pace but without finding the play to get back into the match. Alvini realizes this and changes all three players at the same time. Inside like this Okereke, Gyan and Tsdajout for the matt Bonaiuto, Zanimacchia and Dessers. But the fuse remains extinguished and the only worthy conclusion is that of Tsadjout 5′ from the end with Montipò who saves on the ground without excessive worries. And from a corner kick in full stoppage time comes the other great opportunity: Ciofani acts as a defender but Tsadjout from a good position, always with his head, ends weakly in Montipò’s hands.
