Sampdoria took the lead in the 25th minute with the first goal of Serie A from Yoshida and turn 34 ‘with Keita balde, while the hosts have to deal with bad luck and forest Hit first by Gervinho, then by Kucka. In the second half, Ranieri’s men put up with the timid attempts at reaction from the Emilians well, managing and taking home all three points, leaving the opponents still in penultimate place.
THE MATCH
The Coarse corn grits He closes the first half in the upper half of the table and he does so with all the merit. Even in the Tardini, the Ligurians wear their usual football little bright, but extremely neat and concrete, which is enough to get the best out of a Parma willing, but also very imprecise, sometimes nervous and really not very specific. D’Aversa fails to break the spell Even after three games of taking over from Liverani, victory remains a mirage and the ranking is getting scarier.
The Parma coach launches immediately Account holder and opt for the Kucka-Cornelius-Gervinho trident, while Ranieri prefers to keep a not 100% Ekdal in the bank by inserting Silva with Thorsby and for the first time in the league he lined up the owners together Quagliarella and Keita. The hosts, in search of safety points, begin to defend with order and attack with courage, while Sampdoria is more timid in the opening bars and runs the risk of capitulating at 13 ‘, when after a soft shot by Yoshida the ball ends Kucka, but concludes from Slovak retorted on the line by Colley. 10 minutes pass and Parma is still very dangerous, but Gervinho’s low shot hits the post after a decisive deflection with Audero’s open glove. The crusaders seem to have the game in hand, but in the 25th minute Sampdoria went ahead: in a Candreva center he intervenes clumsily Cornelius, the ball lands on the foot of Yoshida that from two steps only should be thrown into the network. The conceded goal sends D’Aversa’s men to the ball, who get nervous and in the 34th minute also suffer the duplication, When Hernani naively misses a ball in midfield launching the counterattack of Ramirez. Uruguayan services Keita, who sends Iacoponi to empty and crosses behind Sepe with his left. Parma reacts in the last minutes with pride, but luck does not side with the ducals and the last attempt of the first half, for Kucka, hits the crossbar Audero beaten.
At the beginning of the second part D’Aversa takes a confused Hernani and test everything by inserting Karamoh. The team restarts in the right spirit, but despite the extremely offensive setup struggles to watch from the parts of Audero with continuity and just before the quarter of an hour it is Sepe who keeps the game alive, with a great intervention on the right with a safe shot by the new inning Damsgaard. On the other hand it is always and only Kucka to create danger, but the Ligurians do not collapse, they endure with certainty in every attempt to ram and manage in fact without particular concerns until the 90 ‘.
REPORT CARDS
Hernani 4.5 – Mezala deployed, appears from the first moments puzzled and out of the game. Their sensational mess kicks off the action 2-0 for Sampdoria. He returns to the locker room at 45 ‘and inevitably stays there.
Cornelius 5 – The bank work and the spikes for the exteriors are almost never seen, does not go deep and never points to the door. Parma have only scored 14 goals in 19 games, an attacker capable of guaranteeing something more is urgently needed.
Conti 6 – He has not played a game as a starter since the end of July and at the beginning of the game he reveals all the desire he has to show off. He pushes a lot in the first 25 ‘, then goes down and off, like the rest of the team.
Kucka 6.5 – He is the only one, perhaps along with Pezzella, to be mean and dangerous. First the crossbar, then a great Audero denies him a goal that he undoubtedly deserved, but probably would not have made a difference.
Keita 7 – The agreement with Quagliarella is still to be fine-tuned, but he continues to play a game as the protagonist, varying well throughout the offensive front and converting the first good ball that passes him on goal with clarity and coldness.
Silva 7 – Chosen in place of the battered Ekdal, he pays for Ranieri’s confidence with a sumptuous match, made up of neat and clean shots, but above all an orderly direction and very few ball shots.
Audero 6.5 – It spreads over Gervinho in the first part and is delivered to the cameras over Kucka in the second part. Punctual even at departures. If Sampdoria bring home the first clean sheet after 14 games, it is also thanks to him.
Augello 6.5 – Conti starts well, but a few minutes after settling down he is the one who takes charge of that band. He runs it from one side to the other without stopping practically until 90 ‘, creating more apprehension for the opposing rear.
