Playoff Serie B, Cristian Brocchi has no doubts about the favorite
Playoff Serie B, Cristian Brocchi sees Cagliari as favorite
Cristian Brocchi sees Cagliari as favorites for the Serie B playoffs. “Even before a roster on paper stronger than the others you need top physical condition, few injuries and an excellent mentality on the single game. At the beginning of the season I had given Cagliari and Genoa above the others, with Frosinone right behind because you could see that the first two had superior players and Grosso’s team had been built very well,” he pointed out to ‘Tuttosport’.
“Sudtirol in the summer was supposed to be a mere invitee to the salvation ball and instead broke the bank. It is well built for the category with players with ideal characteristics for Bisoli’s game and will bother. Reggina comes to the playoffs with the enthusiasm of having made it despite the penalty. The mental aspect of the granata is top notch,” he then said about Sudtirol and Reggina
He then singled out the possible surprise: “Beware, however, of Venezia, which I point to as the surprise of these playoffs. They touched the lowest point in the standings, in January they settled with the market and with Vanoli they climbed up very well. They are also well on the technical-tactical level, not only on the mental level where they will also be galvanized for having achieved a goal a few weeks ago that seemed unhoped for.
Finally, he spoke about Parma and Bari: “The Apulians believed and fought to the very end for the great feat and from that spirit they will restart. They can have the field factor until the return final and even if they lost a few at home this year, playing in a San Nicola that pushes is a very important factor. Buffon? His arms and legs will definitely not shake, and when his teammates turn around and see him between the posts it will be a support to stay calm even in any tough moments of the match.”
