FCS grades: The two towers in the white and red defense

It sounds a bit crazy: After 23 games in Serie B, FC Südtirol is a measly two points away from the direct promotion places. This fact alone shows how strong the Bisoli troops are. The defense particularly stood out against Pisa, but there was also a nightmare debut.

Poluzzi 6,5 Was lucky that his defense from Rus' free kick hit the aluminum instead of the goal. Before and after, he didn't let anything go wrong and exuded his usual confidence - especially on high balls.

De Col 6,5 Replaced the suspended Marco Curto on the right side of defense and was primarily required defensively. Even clarified some tricky situations.

De Col (in white) shone with his defense.

Zaro 7,5 Pisa repeatedly crossed into the penalty area, and Giovanni “Joe” Zaro repeatedly headed the ball out the back. He is the king of the skies.

Masiello 7,5 Pisa brought out the heavy artillery in the attack - Stefano Moreo and Ettore Gliozzi stormed together. Defense chief Masiello showed the duo the limits - they didn't take a trick.

Cellos 7 Not only extremely strong defensively, but also present and dangerous offensively. His crosses caused tricky situations in the Pisa penalty area. During an advance after 30 minutes he ran almost half the field. After the break he volleyed a world goal from 30 meters.

Victory 6 Started on the right in midfield, then moved to the eight position, later acting as a hanging point behind Odogwu. It wasn't a brilliant performance, but in terms of commitment and hard work there was nothing to complain about. Flexible and variable – Bisoli loves players like that.

Tait 6,5:XNUMX This time the captain was primarily in demand as a clearer. There was little going forward in the game, but at the back he was a wall. Defensively flawless. The home team was no match for Zaro, Masiello and Tait when playing through the middle.

You can always rely on him: Fabian Tait.

Belardinelli 7 Scored his first professional goal and gave FC Südtirol the next three points. He himself initiated the action that led to the corner and his header. There were a few mistakes and inaccuracies this time too, for example when he tried to tunnel through an opponent in front of his own penalty area 10 minutes before the end and lost the ball. Nevertheless: He is the FCS match winner in Pisa.

Casiraghi 7 His elegance and ball handling are impressive – even in Serie B. He remains an exceptional player. Like a week ago in the home game against Reggina, he prepared the winning goal with his corner. The promotion hero now has 6 assists.

Rover 6 Was initially called up as a striker, but then moved to the right wing, where he was particularly challenged defensively. Looked a bit flat at the start of the second half - Bisoli promptly took him off the pitch.

Odogwu 6,5 Was practically on his own at the front and still kept the entire Pisa defense busy. He took the corner that made it 1-0. In the 73rd minute he had the chance to make it 2-0 after the hosts lost the ball, but was denied by Pisa goalie Nicolas after a run of almost 60 meters.

Larrivey 6 Made his FCS debut in the 63rd minute. Unremarkable premiere.

Carretta 6 Like Larrivey, came after 63 minutes and promptly had a good scene on the right wing. Extremely dangerous in a counterattack with Casiraghi 2 minutes before the end of regular time.

Shaka Mawuli 4,5 Despite the FCS success: A nightmare debut in Serie B. His appearance lasted almost 14 minutes, then Bisoli took him down again. Completely overwhelmed.

Fiordilino 6 Was sick during the week. Came in the last minutes.

Vinetot 6 Helped to fend off the Pisa attacks in added time. Hadn't played since August.

Coach Bisoli is on cloud nine with FC Südtirol.

Bisoli 7,5 This time too, he masterfully turned his system inside out again and again. He shouldn't have brought Shaka, he saw the mistake and corrected it. You have to be a tough guy to replace a player 14 minutes after being substituted.
