Genoa – I confess that I saw black when there were a few minutes left in the first half. A pass on the fly freed Simy and the Nigerian footballer did not hesitate to pierce the La Spezia goal, scoring his first goal in Serie A with the shirt of Salerno. And now, I asked myself, what will happen to us? The defeat would have meant relegation to the bottom of the table. “Come on, guys!”
I said to myself «Get your grit out! The match is decisive. It’s a direct match and this team doesn’t deserve to play the underbelly part of the championship. If you don’t react right away, that could be our fate. ”But the attack by the hosts seemed distracted, listless, imprecise. The only episode on which to complain was a crossbar from Salcedo, who appeared however below the usual performances. almost undertaken more out of duty than out of the desire for revengeIt’s the end, I thought. Our beautiful dream could turn into a nightmare. Then, suddenly, the first gusts of the East Wind began to blow on the Alberto Picco field.
Seafarers know that the Levant, which blows from the east, is a cool and humid wind. It often brings rain and precipitation with it. The downpour was punctual and sudden on the Gulf of Poseidon (as the ancients called the Salerno). In fact, two players from Eastern Europe, militants in the Aquilotta team, played the charge. A few moments and the game changed the bitter course. Of course, the whole team was ready to assert themselves. All that was missing was someone to lead by example. Thus the Ukrainian Kovalenko galloped towards the opponent’s goal, serving with a precise assist the Slovak Strelec who did not let himself be prayed by making the opponent’s goal tremble with a gust of East Wind. Only then did I dispel the gloomy thoughts of a championship from the bottom of the class and I began to hope in the comeback, when the storms of the Levant had not yet subsided. In fact, the Israeli with a Romanian passport Podgoreanu took care of serving Kovalenko who was able to bag with a textbook right. 2-1.
So, thanks to the call to player pride test – sixty-five years in three – which, once upon a time, we would have called “beyond the curtain”, we still have the pleasure of hoping for a well-deserved recovery. Almost one hundred minutes of play at Salernitana were not enough to restore the fate of the match. Attention now, eaglets: the two Ligurian cousins and the Fiorentina di Italiano await us in order. They are all important challenges. We hope that the wind of recovery blows powerfully from every quadrant, giving us pleasant surprises.
