The FCS grades: Football can be so cruel

One FCS player made history, another will this Sunday evening I would like to forget it as quickly as possible. We took a closer look at the first Serie B game in the Drususstadion and issued a certificate. Poluzzi 6,5 Sometimes unconventional, but flawless. Powerless when conceding both goals. Strong reflex against Pierini (75th). De Col 6,5 Seamlessly followed on from the strong performance in Brescia. Defensively flawless. The tackle against Johnsen in the very last second (66th) was as valuable as a goal. One of the best performances in the FCS jersey. Vinetot 6 Significantly better than Zaro a week ago. Played out his routine. Reticent in building up the game, but hard to overcome in a direct duel. A good Serie B return for the 34-year-old, who last played for Crotone in the second division in 2013. Curto 5 The unlucky raven in the FCS jersey. Curto showed an outstanding performance for 80 minutes. Very present in the build-up of the game, tough and decisive in the duels. But then came his personal drama: he didn't look good for both goals, especially the own goal in the 95th minute. With no opponents far and wide, the Neapolitan unfortunately deflected into his own goal. D'Orazio 5,5 Better in the game than against Brescia. Tactically with a special role in building up the game (moving into the midfield). Still not strong enough offensively, but decent in the defensive third. Had to be replaced injured (77th). Tait 6,5:XNUMX The captain was one of the best for almost 40 minutes. Strong in fighting and running, outstanding in organizing his teammates and also with the assist in front of the best FCS chance in round 1. Shortly afterwards he had to go out with a muscle injury in his thigh. Pompetti 6 Important test of talent for the 22-year-old. Played with great effort and strong technique. A next step in the right direction after already having a good debut against Brescia. Nicolussi Caviglia 6,5 He is probably the most talented player who has ever played for FC Südtirol. His overview is outstanding, the technical finesse is a feast for the eyes and the footballing quality is unmistakable. Plus a worker in midfield. Not everything is working out for him yet, but this player will bring FC Südtirol a lot of joy. Carretta 6,5 A whirlwind on the right wing. When things get dangerous offensively, Carretta has his legs in the game. His chip ball on the second post was wonderful, which meant the assist made it 2-1 for Rover. His substitution came as a surprise – even for himself. Rover 5,5 A worker and a hard worker, but the highlights are missing. The winger is extremely hard-working and an unpleasant opponent, but an offensive player should also be dangerous from time to time. That's what Rover was missing yesterday.

Odogwu 6,5 A good performance from the Italian-Nigerian, who should actually be sold with the arrival of the new striker. Fighted his way past the strong Polish central defender Wisniewski. In the first half he shot roughly over the top, but in the 1th minute he headed in the White-Reds' historic first Serie B goal. Too bad for him he was worthless in the end. Belardinelli 5,5 Came into the game for Tait before half-time. A completely different type of player, but with a decent performance. Showed personality and showed no nervousness. A few misplays too many, but one should not forget that the 21-year-old has only played his 23rd professional game. Matzocchi 5 Came on as a substitute for goal scorer Odogwu after 66 minutes. Unobtrusive and without a lot of ball contact. Was visibly trying on his return to the Drususstadion, but was unable to set any accents in the almost 30 minutes of play. David 5 Came on for Carretta and helped strengthen the left side. Inconspicuous in the forward game. By the way, the Leifer native made his Serie B debut. Berra oB Played at left-back in the final minutes after D'Orazio was injured. After he came onto the field, both goals were scored. However, he was not to blame. Greek 6,5 The FCS interim coach had prepared the game perfectly. The White-Reds were tactically equal to the individually superior Venetians – at least. Yesterday at the latest, Greco proved that he already had what it takes to become a Serie B coach. The lack of a license makes this impossible.
