GENOA – After Palermo, Genoa also: grays confirmed ammazzagrandi this Cup of Italy, arriving at a historic and well deserved quarter-final. It will, therefore, men of Gregucci to play for a spot in the semifinals with the winner of Rome-La Spezia, while Griffin has to deal with the fourth consecutive knockout league and cup, adding to the challenge at home Rossoblu. The difficulties of Genoa, however, should not detract from the company of the Piedmont, the lead first with Marras and achieved full recovery from Pavoletti but capable, despite the numerical inferiority for injured Manfrin, to find the winning goal in the second overtime with Bocalon.
LITTLE TURNOVER FOR GASPERINI – Contrary to what was expected on the eve, Gasperini regularly employs Burdisso, Rincon and Laxalt: the only big to remain on the sidelines and are Perin, until the beginning of recovery, Perotti. Gregucci, on the other hand, if the plays to his face: Manfrin playing for the suspended Saturday, while Marras, Marconi and Iunco make up the attacking trio.
GUESTS NOW MORE CONVINCING – In the first time, is the Alexandria to enjoy more: the gray scary for the hosts with Iunco Marras but also show better organization of the game, using the offside to the limits of perfection (in 120 ‘, 12 flags will be raised in the attackers face red and blue). Gasperini first passes from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2, it is forced to take the back four to stem the counterattack guests. In the final phase of the first half, however, beginning to be seen with greater conviction the Rossoblu, with Pavoletti that forced the goalkeeper Vannucchi the first of several interventions by applause.
MARRAS UNLOCK, Pavoletti RESPONDS IN RECOVERY – It looks like the prelude to the rescue rossoblù instead is the Alexandria to go after less than a minute: is Marras, produced in the nursery of the Griffon and fan Genoa player, beat in a diagonal Lamanna not blameless, after the combination with the excellent Nicco. Gasperini runs shelters, inputting Perotti and Gakpé, but the reaction of Genoa is confused and not very effective. The rest is done by Vannucchi, sometimes uncertain outputs but sufficiently reactive to fix in person. Pavoletti not know to take advantage of half mess goalkeeper gray, which then brings on a right controbalzo of Figueiras. Complicating life In Alessandra comes Manfrin’s injury, suffered a muscle tear when Gregucci has already run out of substitutions: remains in the field as long as he can, but his sacrifice seems not awarded. In full recovery, in fact, Genoa is the same as dead-ball cross by Perotti, Tower Burdisso and pumpkin winning Pavoletti by a meter.
GRAY RESIST IN TEN – The 1-1 brings the race into overtime and Manfrin raise the white flag, forcing first Fischnaller Nicco and then to act in their place in the defense. What’s more, it also hurts Vannucchi after a scrum in the gray area: while with his left hand bandaged, the goalkeeper remains in the field (and will still have a way to wrest applause). The first real ball-goal extra time, incredibly, is signed by Fischnaller, who hit the bar with a header from a half omelet combined Lamanna and Burdisso; on the opposite side, is providential recovery of Nicco Gakpé, involatosi the door albatross. Before the change of gear, Vannucchi protagonist of Perotti, then is still hitting on the Alexandria Branch.
Bocalon SIGN THE COMPANY – stay a quarter of an hour to play , the inertia of the match seems all in favor of Genoa and Vannucchi is forced to another means miracle, instinctively Rincon. Six minutes from time, however, comes the goal that decided the match: the signature Bocalon, top scorer in Group A of the Pro League, after a nice combination with Marras, arguably the best in the field. Occurs on the feet of Lazovic the ball that could be worth the penalty shootout, but for Genoa is playing haunted.
MOOD OPPOSITE – The rossoblù out between the whistles, accompanied by eloquent banners of protest against the property (“Precious quaquaraqua”) and technical (“Gasperini shut up and train”). Only applause, bipartisan, to Alexandria is unrestrained joy and deep emotion for Gregucci, for his boys and the three thousand fans flocked to the gray Ferraris. Leaders in their group in the league, the Alexandria back to breathe the air of the great football and, in January, will continue to chase that dream called Italian Cup, with nothing to lose, knowing that he had already written a piece of history .
Gregucci: “EPICA UNDERTAKING”. GENOA IN SILENCE RELEASE – Angelo Gregucci still daydreaming: “A large company, which will remain in the annals – says the coach – I’m happy because this team has shown to have extraordinary values, hitting a qualifying epic . I’m embarrassed to comment on this race, because Genoa has a staff certainly surpass us – admits Gregucci – but sometimes football surprises for unpredictability. In my career I’ve never had to rejoice under the two tiers, but the applause that fans of Genoa gave us is a source of great pride and satisfaction. Now let’s enjoy this immense satisfaction, but let’s not forget that our first objective remains the championship. ” Tight-lipped at home instead Genoa. Rossoblù now decided to implement a news blackout after the knockout. A defeat that caused the anger of the fans of the Griffon.
