Who goes up
The awkward exit on Cheddira - in the action of the goal that had decided the match against Bari on the eve of the break - had made him (almost) as guilty as the defenders Goldaniga (his wrong movement unleashed hell in the rossoblù area) and Zappa (burned by the Moroccan bomber a stone's throw from the goal line).
On Saturday against Venezia, despite the defeat and the four goals (how many he had suffered in the previous six matches), Radunovic regained the scene and his credibility. Among the few to save face, the Serbian goalkeeper was providential on Novakovich by preventing the game from taking a bad turn in the first half. He also tried to patch up Tcherychev's shotgun. Without the support of his teammates, however, it is tough. Indeed, impossible.
Who gets off
Re-launched by the disqualification of Di Pardo in the match won against Modena, and has not been released since. Reliable in coverage, proactive and incisive in the push phase. Even authoritarian in the most excited moments. So Zappa seemed to have finally taken the right wing and against Benevento at the “Vigorito” he played one of his best games since wearing the Cagliari shirt. The first signs of failure already with Bari, then disarmament with Venice. Weak, static, often late and in pain with each opponent's lunge. And, above all, the patatrac who in thirty-seconds-thirty gave way to the lagoon comeback at the start of the second half: first, in fact, he caused the corner of the equalizer, then he let Pohjanpalo crush the ball undisturbed in the net.
