Rosina and Muzzi to support Stellone?

di Andrea Rosselli

Today at the Centro Sisport the Granata sustained the last training session before Sunday evening’s match against Sampdoria on the Stadio Olimpico pitch.

As usual, Alberto Zaccheroni didn’t unveil his intentions about the starting eleven who will face the Blucerchiati. Ivan Franceschini, who has served his one-round ban, will surely be back on the left of the 3-men defensive line, while Balestri cound replace Pancaro on the left wing. As for the offensive line, out-of-form Stefano Fiore should start from the bench: in this case, Stellone will be supported by Rosina and Muzzi.

As for the guests, coach Walter Novellino seems intentioned to confirm the same starting lineup of last week’s convincing home win over Chievo: a classical 4-4-2 with Berti between the posts, Zenoni, Sala, Falcone and Pieri on the defensive line, Maggio, Volpi, Palombo and Daniele Franceschini in the middle, Bonazzoli and Quagliarella upfront. The only unavailable players are suspended striker Flachi and injured defender Terlizzi.

“I think that we are in a good shape” Zac told the press, “and we are ready to give our best. We were not happy with the fans’ protest, of course, and I’m the first to be unsatisfied with our position in the table. We need a positive result in order to improve mentally, which is what we still miss. I don’t feel in danger, and I’m always convinced that I can take Toro where I wanted to as soon as I accepted president Cairo’s proposal: a step above the safety zone”.
