(Fabrizio Pallini) – Christmas 2024 for Crociati fans, football-wise, certainly cannot be a good Christmas.
The bitter 5-0 defeat suffered against Roma has left a wound that will be difficult to heal.
The fans feel humiliated, dazed, even incredulous at what is happening, but not entirely amazed.
There were many prodromes indicators that something was not going right. The choices made by the club were not convincing. The signing campaign, based only on promising young players, satisfied neither the needs of the coach nor the fans who requested the purchase of some expert players who could guide and support the promising youngsters, consolidating the structure of the team. squad. All signals not listened to.
Numerous doubts arose from many quarters about being able to face an entire Serie A championship in this way.
To be honest, the crackling start to the championship, which had led to a draw with Fiorentina and a convincing win against Milan, seemed to allay the initial doubts. However, after the promising matches played with bravado with four attackers, but which did not bring home the hoped-for points, here they re-emerge with all the questions.
We all know the next story.
Now many are expressing harsh criticism and many are calling for Pecchia's head.
Our current opinion, being in the Christmas climate and inclined to forgiveness, would lead us to be satisfied if the club admitted its mistakes and dipped into its wallet by purchasing some top-class players.
The coach, for his part, should abandon unconscious dreams of glory, deploying a game system more suited to the needs of a team that has only survival as its objective.
If, on the contrary, you do not want to take the path of reciprocitywe have serious doubts about the possibility of saving ourselves and we could understand the justified requests for exemption and protests against the company.
Since it is Christmas we are inclined to believe that everything will be for the best and reason will prevail.
Ad Majora. Fabrizio Pallini
PS Unfortunately, in this championship, we are paying for all the luck of last year. Injuries are decimating the team (perhaps there is some fault in the preparation) and the referee's assessments are not always on our side. Furthermore, threatening clouds loom over the Tardini…
Merry Christmas to all.
