Boys Checco Moriero conclude the first round of seventeen matches to head high, beating a Foggia strangely stiff and devoid of edge, in a race conducted for more than 30 minutes outnumbered due to the expulsion of a nervous Morley.
Happiness for victory, for the arrival of Christmas and for a first round played at the highest levels in terms of heart and motivation, it will go incredibly in the press room because of the sharp statements that technical Rossoblù they may not return Crotone with the opening of the new year.
The Pythagorean team gave all of herself in the hope that positive developments come in the coming days and an injection of fresh capital to the difficult social cases, although to date, apart from entries of contacts with entrepreneurs far from reality Crotone, just moved and the nodes may have already come to a head within a week or two.
Salvatore Gualtieri President made it clear that the Croton is not in danger of bankruptcy and that it will no penalty, but almost certainly there could be a great reduction targets, starting with the farewell of forced valuable pieces of the team and even the same Moriero man who lives right ambitions. The
Foggia seen today, however, would give and do more.
There were no supporters of Puglia, sad now because of the laws "preventive" , but I really expected from Pecchia & Company a greater impact on the quality and substance of the race, while the Rossoneri are restricted to play their homework without shine and a return to the victory of the Pythagoreans that close with one point more than the first round of last year.
FIRST TIME:
The Croton is decimated, it must give up the quality and class Low , the pragmatism of long-stay Maietta, the physical strength of Paponetti placement and rapid Aurelio.
In the young field will Triarico with Pacciardi back on the defensive line and Calil and Espinal trocar placed on offensive in support of Russian .
The only good news will be represented by the return in the second half of the formidable Petrilli that, despite the precarious physical play for nearly forty minutes and will be decisive for his teammates in the action that will restore competition in equal numbers.
Novelli, however, ranks Pecchia front of the defense with the task of connecting the units to speed up restarts and groped with his throws calibrated by entrusting Pedrelli on one side and Posillipo and D ' friend on the other, the attempt (failed) plunge and overlap on the lateral bands.
front of the couple Salgado - Mancino with Troianiello manforte to give, making the pendulum in the outside lane.
Manca, As previously announced, Del Core probably leave his companions in the winter market.
The first time is not a pretty sight and easily than today, will be the ugliest 45 minutes of the season .
teams are studied, trying to repeat timid attempts from outside the box, inaccurate and clumsy, to witness the apparent inability to build a quality game.
How many retail 8 when Triarico served long Russo, takes the ball, is centered in beautiful style, but shot poorly at the side (VIDEO 1) .
Crotone seem to weigh on the absences, while Foggia merely to contain the situation worsens and the 12 ', with Salgado, together with the player most representative Pecchia that by pulling away, stumbles, it hurts and must come out.
A minute later, at 13 ', punishment powerful Pecchia with Concepts that locks in two stages, at the risk of giving the ball all'accorrente Mancino (VIDEO 2) .
Nothing else to report except a dangerous cross Galardo resulting keeps on hitting in area Foggia that the 18 'door Espinal shooting from a tight angle, but shooting the ball to him even Russian (VIDEO 3) and finally a tiraccio of Vicedomini to 45 '.
The Rossoneri have approached near the door Concepts only defense on that set piece, in one way or another, but not without difficulty, the rossoblùs have always managed to repel.
LATER:
The game continues without change, but probably Moriero given the charge to her in the locker room.
Calil and Galardo move between the lines with more entrepreneurial, while Morley Galeoto and give new shine, speed, and giving substance to the Sharks game, thanks to the amazing defensive coverage provided by the implacable Pacciardi and Rossi.
The Foggia after a dangerous header of Zanetti finished over the bar on developments in the corner to 47 ' (VIDEO 4) , still a little blown away by the verve discovered by the Pythagoreans and folds on itself, encouraging the raids of Rossoblù.
At 49 ' Triarico slips between the Rossoneri defenders and shoots a powerful shot from distance deflected wide from a good speech Bremec (VIDEO 5) and one minute later Calil to have a good ball in the area, but wasted too hastily.
The midfielder, however, has clear ideas and the 54 'does not fail to meet the goal.
On a cross poisonous Morley, a culmination of persistent action by the players Crotone, Bremec mess in output and promotes the inclusion of the Brazilian who steals the time to slip in and find the Satanello space to place the ball in the net (VIDEO 6) !
The competition is nervous and a bomb from a distance of Pedrelli , by a whisker Galeoto not realize the author.
The Crotone and Foggia check fails to become dangerous, until the 62 ', but surely the tax screws referee before Morley warns for having kicked a ball to play catch and then expelled for repeated protests.
seems to be the prelude to a siege of Satanello, but the only danger product is a pole outside shot from Germinal following a free kick poisonous Mancino ( VIDEO 7) .
84th ' tries unsuccessfully Small , kicking at the side and failing to take advantage of a mess on defense of Espinal and Scognamiglio. The
Foggia derives no advantage in playing 11 against 10 , until the newcomer Petrilli, ravaging the outside lane of Satanello, was brought down by badly already warned Posillipo.
Take the second, inevitable yellow card and restores equal numbers.
scratch away at the end and so the rossoblùs end up carry through the game, thanks to the attention of defensive Rossi, Pacciardi and newcomer Figliomeni , combined with the experience of Galardo and Galeoto who can craft to fall asleep with the game.
revised in essence, Foggia away format, but it's really heartbreaking courage, heart and abnegation of players Rossoblù Moriero , that despite all the difficulties endured, including absences and heavy economic instability, did not miss the opportunity to extend greetings to all fans of Crotone, giving them the three points.

PRESS:
coach of Foggia Novelli does not dramatize for the defeat:
"The race was very balanced in the first half, although we have suffered psychological injury to Salgado.
Now it will be essential to recharge the batteries in the days of vacation ahead of us and come back with determination at the start of the second round ".
Why his boys did not take advantage of the numerical superiority?
"First I must say that they have already hit the woodwork and striking this testimony that there was some reaction.
If I make some criticisms of the game expressed, I admit that we have not done well on the flanks, where instead of expanding the game with the overlap tended to concentrate and when a team has to defend, we know well how close did the Crotone, if you are not quick hand lanes The numerical advantage late to be felt ".
What is the first leg of his team?
"I'm just saying that we are dealing with teams that did a booming summer market and thus are certainly pleased with the work done so far" .
What do you expect from the market winter?
"As for me reinforce concerns is not as important numerically, but rather serves to optimize the work of those already there.
But if the company decides to incorporate the training, all right, but you have to have greater potential we already have in this pink ".
The President of the Croton Salvatore Gualtieri dissects the plight company.
"There was talk of contacts with entrepreneurs from outside the province of Crotone, but finally remained just words and wishes.
The truth is that, To date, they left us alone and I can only repeat to you that from now on and for the next few weeks, the Boards of Directors and the meetings with the property, become crucial to understanding the near future of Crotone Calcio ".
There is a danger of bankruptcy or penalized in the standings?
"After 17 years of sacrifices and satisfactions, bankruptcy does not even want to hear about it.
And I assure you that our team will not suffer any penalty.
Unfortunately, there may be a means for scaling, it is my duty to be clear on this.
I repeat: we will know more in the coming days ".
Moriero , technical Crotone, following the statements of President , immediately clarifies:
"I love this city and to my dear fans, this Company and to all the experts work with passion not miss anything we have ever done, receiving almost nothing, but I can not tell you with sincerity and firmness that if the team will be dismantled, probably I will leave my office.
The guys work and get to the teeth, but it is difficult to go without pay for anyone.
I do not have the character to deal with a hypothetical second round with the youth of caps, especially after working with so many sacrifices to reach this position of the standings, so hopefully everything will be resolved and that we meet here on January 2, ready starting with the same current determination ".
The game against Foggia at this point takes a back seat .
"I can only repeat that these are guys who have heart, courage and character el'hanno demonstrated today against a tough opponent that was not easy to catch.
To my regret this is great and facing a future with a few flashes of light is difficult to talk about this but this happy ".
gaze Calil is not reassuring, and perhaps even the decisive goal, the Brazilian feel to skin discomfort after heavy environmental statements Moriero greeting that invites him, smiling, back to Crotone after the holidays.
"I am fighting for six months to find a better physical condition and I know that I still have a lot of work, but despite the few appearances I have made 4 goals, two of which are critical to the victory.
I'm a bit sorry for the difficult time that we live in, I assure you that despite everything, I came here to bring the Crotone in Serie B and now they are likely to abandon the project for which we are all working hard ".
What would you improve the current state?
"I am realistic in thinking that I still have much to do to grow, partly because football is a sport and a job where you have to always be 100% physically and give 110% in terms of motivations and character.
I definitely need to play, to improve and correct any errors.
I hope I can do more for the Croton Football ".
In the Press have not missed the greetings and hugs in the cold afternoon of the eve of the Christmas holidays.
All the protagonists of the interviews have greeted their fans holding out their best wishes for a Happy New Year.
With the hope that football returns to shine in the town of Crotone and Foggia, tomorrow as today.
