Ivan Juric is constantly looking for a striker. Waiting for Pellegri, whose return is ever closer, the technician benched Sanabria in Florence to launch Seck and the experiment was successful. The choice to deploy the Senegalese born in 2001 proves to be spot on, so much so that he finds a goal disallowed for a matter of centimeters and hits the crossbar after a good personal action, as well as defending the ball like a real striker and keeping the Viola defense apprehensive until the moment of its replacement. “I want to stay here and play my cards,” Seck said; “He has a good leg to be competitive he needs to improve in tight spaces, with his right foot, in headers and in a lot of things” compliments from Juric. And while Sanabria is always ready to pack his bags, in via Arcivescovado he reflects on a new striker: the road to Shomurodov seems to be uphill and at the moment there are no other well-planned operations, Pellegri’s return and the signals sent by Seck can open up other scenarios. Meanwhile, waiting for the key week for the market, the team enjoys 26 points in 19 days.
Juric surpasses himself
The Bull has beaten Florenceis a historic achievement because the three points in Serie A to the Franchi had not arrived since ’76. And Juric surpasses himself, closing the first leg with one point more than last year: Miranchuk’s 1-0 makes the grenade turn around at 26, the team breathes again the scent of Europe in seventh place. While waiting for Udinese, in fact, the grenades have reappeared in the area that is worth a qualification for the next international cups. “I think that if there had been a more continuous work progression, losing fewer players, we could have done something more” Juric bitterly looked back. But now there are still about ten days to try to improve: the coach has asked for two reinforcements, for Ilic we are at the point of the negotiations. It would be a crime not to please the coachalso and above all by seeing the perspectives that are opening up by taking a look at the ranking and in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia against Fiorentina.
