The FCS grades: Two unlucky ones and a solid Tait

Who disappointed? Who convinced? We took a close look at FC Südtirol's opening game and presented the players with certificates. Poluzzi 6 He held what there was to hold. During the free kick, the goalkeeper speculated on the far corner and was wrong-footed, which is why there was no reaction. Also blameless for the second goal. Commanded loudly. De Col 6 The best in the FCS back four. Defensively flawless and trying to move forward in the game. The crosses for Tait's offside goal and Odogwu's great chance came from him. Greco knew what he was getting from De Col and was not disappointed. Zaro 4 A horror debut for the 1,93 tall central defender in Serie B. His unnecessary foul led to a free kick before the 0-1 goal. The second Brescia goal was completely unprepared for a long ball, after which he couldn't keep up with Flavio Bianchi. Weak in game structure and with many mistakes. A day to forget.

The FCS played in Serie B for the first time.

Curto 5,5 Significantly better than Zaro, but not without problems. Less present in the build-up to the game than in the previous season. The quick starts from Bianchi and Moreo occasionally revealed a lack of speed. Nevertheless: the talent is undisputed. With a good man next to him, he can be a strong defender in Serie B. D'Orazio 5,5 The 95-year-old didn't really notice the great Serie B experience (32 games). Lack of penetration offensively and always sloppy defensively, like with the through ball before Bianchi's big chance in the second half. Nevertheless: With his routine, he won the most duels of all FCS players and intercepted the most balls. Tait 6,5:XNUMX The jump from Series C to Series B was unnoticeable. The captain went through his usual routine, even though he barely had a ball between his feet in the first 25 minutes. Extremely strong running and unlucky in stoppage time when his header goal was disallowed for offside (the shoulder was too far forward).

Fabian Tait (right) knew how to convince.

Pompetti 6 Showed good signs from the start in his first Serie B game. Organized the build-up of the game in the 2nd half on the left side and tried to put his stamp on the FCS performance. The cross before the penalty came from him. A decent debut. Nicolussi Caviglia 6 Formed the FCS midfield together with Tait and Pompetti and was able to impress - just like those around him. Strong in securing the ball and with good passes. Technically a feast for the eyes. The FCS will still have fun with him. Carretta 6 Experience and quality on the right wing. Carretta was very hard-working, lively and a constant source of trouble - but nothing worthwhile came of it. His crosses bounced off the Brescia defense or found no teammate. Despite everything, his talent was obvious. Carretta is a real reinforcement for the FCS.

Lively, trying, but also unlucky: Mirko Carretta.

Matzocchi 4 His devastating penalty miss goes viral on social media. It doesn't matter whether the casual follow-up shot with the outside of the foot was due to arrogance or nervousness. The fact is that his mistake cost us the equalizer and possibly a point. Already barely integrated into the game and ineffective. Weak. Rover 5 Was given preference over Daniele Casiraghi in the starting line-up. Reliable and hard-working when playing at the back, but that's not enough for a winger. Compared to Carretta, he hardly appeared on the left side in forward play. Odogwu 6 His substitution for Mazzocchi brought some momentum into the game. Physically he is also outstanding in Serie B, but technically and playfully it is not enough in the long term. Brescia goalkeeper Lezzerini prevented the consolation goal with a brilliant save in the 93rd minute - the previous header was well taken by Odogwu. Casiraghi 5,5 Showed in his 20-minute short appearance that he has the tools for Serie B. Casiraghi was immediately a pivotal point, but he was unable to make any decisive moves. Belardinelli & Capone oB Both players were only substituted on in the 84th minute. No grade.

Coach Leandro Greco.

Greek 6 Interim coach Leandro Greco had the team play very compactly, which initially worked. Parallels to the Javorcic system from the previous year were clearly visible, even though the extremely destructive style of play in the initial phase was not planned. Despite all odds, managed to form a team in such a short time. During the break, Greco made small adjustments that ensured that the FCS was better in the game. It wasn't his fault in Brescia.
