The worrying data also on the technical guidance. The coach is not influencing the minds of the players. And the determination emerges only once in disadvantage

Of the impact on the Spal di Francesco Baldini we must talk about it, and we are talking about it here instead of the usual report card. His vote in terms of results and arrangement of the defense should be below zero, if you believe that he is responsible for Spal's hyper-negative streak. In reality, the idea is becoming more and more widespread that they gave him players who were not up to the task, or who were broken and always in and out of the group, or who were at the end of their tether. You can also not be up to the task with your head, with your courage and with your character, eh, not just with your feet. He was a good full-back and as a coach he is celebrated for his defensive skills and his ability to transmit grit: yet at Spal he is unable to get his concepts across. He is a little better in terms of grit, which Spal never shows off before conceding a couple of goals. Also because the whole thing was compounded by the clamorous sterility of forwards which did not transform goal opportunities into a clear increase (but always with the starting 0-2). In this respect, the brace of Karlsson it is a signal not to be underestimated: with a bit of enthusiasm the Icelander can add something towards the end of the season. But if Baldini does not arrive at the head of his team, it will end badly here. Then there is the management of the race Pineto. Impressions? Balanced formation, not out of place. Timely changes: Rao at half an hour for Bassoli and 4-2-3-1 to recover without wasting time, then Antenucci, Haoudi and Karlsson. Only doubt: at 2-2 couldn't he have continued with Rao, given that the inertia was positive? He preferred to block better with Awua to defend the 2-2. He didn't lose because of this, but because of the own goal. Who knows if there an injection of the courage of desperation shown up to that point couldn't pay off any further. But if he then took the third because he was unbalanced, all hell broke loose...
