Brescia, night of truth. At Rigamonti for the encore. Maran struggles with absences

Brescia plays in advance and this evening (at 20.30) will open the twenty-fifth day of B series hosting one Salernitana exit from the winter market profoundly renewed. "It's a race that counts - he explains Roland Maran - especially because we are at home and we would like to give our fans a joy. Salernitana is a completely different team from the one of a few weeks ago, it is no coincidence that they have strung together a series of positive results. We must start again from the first half in Carrara, playing with the same desire and the same courage".

On the front of the training the Rondinelle coach, who after the market closed limited himself to saying that he hoped not to run into any major defections, must deal once again with several problems. The suspended Verreth and the injured Cistana, Fogliata and Galazzi will certainly be absent, although he could return much sooner than initially thought. After last week's feverish attack, captain Bisoli returned to the group, while the other feverish player of these days, Moncini, has not yet resumed training at full speed.

Maran is considering reintroducing the 4-3-3 that managed to give the team a soul in Carrara, but he could also offer to return to the well-known 4-3-2-1 or focus on a 3-5-2 that would mirror the predictable lineup of the granata. The white and blue coach will resolve in extremis the doubts that have characterized this eve, from the ballot between Corrado and Jallow on the left wing to the two players who will flank Borrelli up front. At the moment Olzer and D'Andrea seem to be in the lead, but Bianchi, Juric and Moncini himself hope to be able to overtake at the last minute. The disqualification of the director Verreth and the recent departure of Paghera, his natural replacement, towards Spal, leave the race open. There is no shortage of hypotheses, but as the hours pass Bjarnason's odds are growing: "I tried him in that position during the week - admits Maran himself - He is in excellent condition, it is certainly a possibility".

Probable formation (4-3-3): Lezzerini; Dickmann, Calvani, Adorni, Jallow; Bisoli, Bjarnason, Bertagnoli; Olzer, Borrelli, D'Andrea. Coach Maran.
