Serie B, the market balance. Cremonese is now serious

Il winter market of the three Lombards Serie B confirmed the forecasts. Brescia continues without revolutions. President Massimo Cellino's club has limited movements to a minimum, focusing heavily on the young players in the squad. Only the injury to Nicolas Galazzi (the absence from the fields of the 2000-born player is still to be defined) has induced the Rondinelle to move in, bringing the talented Luca D'Andrea (2004) from Sassuolo to Brescia. A single graft, which has not been followed by any other arrivals, not even to shore up a defense reduced to the bare minimum and always exposed to the risk of injuries. Substantially only one new player also on the way out, with Fabrizio Paghera ('91) who will look for the space in Spal that he couldn't find in his hometown team. For the rest, remembering the termination of the contract of the Australian naturalized Maltese, Trent Buhagiar ('98), the whole group has remained to work with Rolando Maran, including Gennaro Borrelli (2000), whose name in recent weeks had been linked to several contenders.

In home Cremonese, instead, big moves to start dreaming again. Confirming the important ambitions cultivated since the eve, the club that moved the most on the market was Cremonese. Just take a look at the table of movements to understand that the grigiorossi have changed a lot with the intention of staying in the race until the end for the return to Serie A. The list of new arrivals is extensive, from Mattia Valoti, returned to Serie B from Monza, to Paulo Azzi, Brazilian defender-midfielder born in '94 who arrived from Cagliari, passing through the midfielder Francesco Gelli (96 from Frosinone), Francesco Folino (defender born in 2002) from Juve Stabia and Giacomo Drago from Sudtirol. There have been numerous departures, from Leonardo Sernicola, who joined Pisa, and Cristian Buonaiuto, who moved to Padova, to Luka Lochoshvili (Salernitana), Andreas Jungdal (Westerlo), Giacomo Quagliata (Catanzaro), Tommaso Milanese (Carrarese) and Cristian Acella (Alcione Milano).

The aim of a very different one is Mantova which aims first and foremost to retain the Serie B that it has just won. In this sense, president Piccioli and technical director Botturi have essentially reaffirmed their trust in the group that is already working with mister Possanzini and that has shown that it has what it takes to achieve salvation. In this sense, there have been no departures (with the exception of the 2007 defender, Matteo Stambolliu, who moved to Pineto), while on the arrivals front, left winger Simone Giordano (2001) has arrived in the red and whites from Sampdoria and an investment has been made for the future by bringing to Mantua an interesting profile such as Flavio Paoletti (2003), who returned to Italy from the stingy team of Karagumruk.
