<p>Okay, so we didn’t really learn much. Let’s call it 3 things this team reminded us of.</p> <h1 id="uyKn19">Player grades</h1>
<p id="CrZNHM"><strong>Bartłomiej Drągowski</strong>—7: This would’ve been a rout within 15 minutes if not for the hirsute Pole. Superb stops on Daniel Bessa, Kevin Lasagna, and Darko Lazović in the first half, as well as a brilliant clearance halfway to the center circle after Amrabat gave the ball away, underlined his class. The goal was definitely soft, but it’s hard to know whose fault that was so I’m only docking him half a point, especially since the game would’ve been long gone if not for his earlier work.</p>
<p id="TkqnHR"><strong>Lorenzo Venuti</strong>—7: The only player besides Bart who brought anything in the first half. Made a spectacular goal line clearance on Lasagna’s header and hit several excellent passes in towards the forwards rather than trying to motor down the line. Brilliantly turned Lazović to create the PK situation. Was quieter in the second half but was one of <a href="https://www.violanation.com">Fiorentina</a>’s three best on the pitch.</p>
<p id="ILAiG0"><strong>Lucas Martínez Quarta</strong>—5.5: Ragged in the first half but stabilized well. Had trouble tracking Lasagna and others, who constantly snuck in behind. Let Lasagna head a corner on goal which Venuti cleared. Seemed antsy. Should’ve clinched it with a late goal but uncorked a really bad shot on a 5-v-2 break.</p>
<p id="gVFc4x"><strong>Germán Pezzella</strong>—5: Had a rough time tracking the pacy Lasagna, especially early on, and was forced into a bunch of fouls. Like LMQ, steadied himself after the break somewhat, but doesn’t look like the player he was last year. Also attempted just 11 passes in 90 minutes, which has to be some sort of BeppeBall ideal.</p>
<p id="0k1ie6"><strong>Martín Cáceres</strong>—7: Scored a very nice volley for his second of the season and looked reasonably secure at the back until Hellas Verona scored; he completely switched off of Eddie Salcedo, although it seemed more like a whole-team problem than a him-problem.</p>
<p id="35k5Jd"><strong>Cristiano Biraghi</strong>—5: Made a good clearance off the line early and generally stuck tight to the dangerous Marco Faraoni, aside from the goal, but didn’t offer much going forward. Still seems to be out-of-sync with Ribery and spent a lot of time yelling at the referees (justifiable) and his teammates (less justifiable).</p>
<p id="oGjviB"><strong>Sofyan Amrabat</strong>—4.5: Maybe it was the pressure of playing his old team, but the Moroccan seemed more interested in bowling people over than playing ball. Nearly handed Lasagna a freebie with a terrible backpass and generally seemed out of rhythm, and although there were a couple of positives, he didn’t offer nearly enough.</p>
<p id="w9WBfr"><strong>Erick Pulgar</strong>—6: Seemed to be chasing ghosts for most of the first half, letting Verona find lots of space between the lines. Tightened up after the break and made things more difficult for them. Produced a few very good interventions sweeping up for the back line and delivered the set piece that led to Cáceres’ goal.</p>
<p id="I5cqSl"><strong>Giacomo Bonaventura</strong>—6.5: Usually the only man even close to Vlahović. His constant forward running was rewarded with the PK, but he also offered a presence in the box at times as well and set up Ribery’s chance while working hard out of possession. Booked and will miss the <a href="https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com">Juventus</a> game.</p>
<p id="d2sV4t"><strong>Dušan Vlahović</strong>—7.5: One man wrecking crew. Scored his penalty and was usually the only thing the Verona defense had to worry about. Pulled some grown-ass man turns and constantly harried opponents without the ball. If not for referee Alessandro Prontera’s bizarre fixation with calling fouls on him, might’ve created something on his own.</p>
<p id="oFplUh"><strong>Franck Ribery</strong>—5: Looks cooked. Drove forward on the break once and snapped a shot at Marco Silvestri, but seemed completely exhausted, constantly walking on the ball and slowing things to a crawl. Tried to flick Venuti’s cutback ahead of the PK but whiffed entirely, letting Jack win the spot kick. Feels criminal that he played 76 minutes.</p>
<p id="EaWlsg"><strong>Christian Kouamé</strong>—5: His touch and his decision making just aren’t there yet. You can imagine that there’s a player in there, but one who needs a full season’s worth of run to rediscover the form that made him so good at Genoa. He’s not going to rediscover himself in 3-15 minute cameos.</p>
<p id="Ax2Dp1"><strong>Gaetano Castrovilli</strong>—n/a: Played all of 2 minutes because that’s how Beppe do.</p>
<p id="vhmbad"><strong>Igor</strong>—n/a: Ibidem.</p>
<h1 id="yxRcdg">Three things we learned</h1>
<p id="zf1sqj"><strong>1. This team cannot keep the ball.</strong> Hellas Verona is a club whose identity is based around direct counterattacking. They don’t particularly want the ball. Instead, they got 65% of it. That’s not a winning recipe, as it puts a mistake-prone Fiorentina defense under constant pressure. Pezzella attempting just 11 passes all game long is one of the strangest statistics I can remember seeing, and no one tried more than Biraghi’s 38. Nobody expects this group to morph into Vincenzo Montella’s 2014 outfit, but there has to be an effort to keep the ball, if for no other reason than to let the back line reset. Letting opponents stream forward uninterrupted requires perfection from Drągowski and usually some help from elsewhere (Venuti’s goal line clearance). It’s not enough.</p>
<p id="W5GCps"><strong>2. Beppe has to use the bench.</strong> Ribery is 38 years old, fasting for Ramadan, and played all 90 minutes just 3 days before this one. Asking him to go more than half an hour was always a bad idea, especially since Kouamé has shown (limited) signs of life recently. This was the perfect place to give him an hour to build on his assist last week. Instead, we got the shambling corpse of Ribery putting the ball between his feet and just standing there. It was awful. While normally, Iachini can point to an impossibly shallow bench, he had Kouamé, Gaetano Castrovilli, Valentin Eysseric, and Igor available. He waited until there were just 15 minutes left before making a change; Ivan Jurić had already made 4 by that point. Not only does this approach run the starters into the ground, it allows assets like Kouamé to molder and lose value, making it impossible to recoup any money for them.</p>
<p id="QYn6pI"><strong>3. Why not Lollo?</strong> Fiorentina has famously spent a decade or more looking for someone who can play rightback. We’ve seen central defenders pushed wide (Facundo Roncaglia, Nenad Tomović, Carlos Salcedo, Nikola Milenković), misused youngsters (Juan Cuadrado, Bruno Gaspar, Pol Lirola), and vaguely competent veterans (Mattia Cassani, Vincent Laurini, Martín Cáceres). Every year, the fans clamor for a new rightback. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Venuti has slowly become the most stable guy on the roster. He’s disciplined, always gives his all, doesn’t make mistakes, plays without ego, and offers surprising guile going forward. Despite being everything you could want from an academy product, he’s seen Cácers and Kévin Malcuit ahead of him in the pecking order at times this year. He’s earned a full season as the regular starter; he can’t be worse than the other options and is far from the weakest point on this weak team.</p>

<p>It wasn’t easy or pretty, but it was enough.</p> <h1 id="YPKTyp">Pre-match</h1>
<p id="UgMuZ9">Ivan Jurić opted for Daniele Bessa over Mattia Zaccagni, with the Viola-affiliated trio of Nikola Kalinić, Marco Benassi, and Federico Ceccherini all either hurt or only partly fit. Giuseppe Iachini benched Gaetano Castrovill in favor of Sofyan Amrabat and went with Lucas Martínez Quarta in place of the suspended Nikola Milenković.</p>
<h1 id="QtCl6U">First half</h1>
<p id="zshYlL">Lorenzo Venuti slipped down the right and cut it back into the box, where Franck Ribery completely missed his touch. Luckily for <a href="https://www.violanation.com">Fiorentina</a>, the ball trickled merrily along until an onrushing Giacomo Bonaventura cleverly stepped in front of Antonin Barak at the edge of the area, winning the clearest penalty you’ll see. Dušan Vlahović stepped up and made it 16 goals on the season and a perfect 4 of 4 from the spot.</p>

<h1 id="ptGsvr">Second half</h1>
<p id="9rg8NF">Erick Pulgar lofted in a free kick from the left wing that Hellas Verona failed to clear, and it set up nicely for Martín Cáceres to power home his second of the year; weirdly enough, he seems to only score against former employers, so Lazio had better watch out.</p>
<div id="ZU31JX"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/323ZIA4G8Ro?rel=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media; accelerometer; clipboard-write; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"></iframe></div></div>
<p id="XnGuep">Because this is Fiorentina, the Gialloblu got one back as Cristiano Biraghi, Cáceres, and Bartłomiej Drągowski (who was otherwise unbelievably good) lost sync and let Eddie Salcedo nod home a Marco Faraoni header.</p>
<div id="XbeNq8"><div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X5PLSv9UjIs?rel=0" style="border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;" allowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" allow="encrypted-media; accelerometer; clipboard-write; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"></iframe></div></div>
<h1 id="pfzmIF">Full time</h1>
<p id="0sINc2"><strong>Goals</strong>: Salcedo 72’ (ass. Faraoni); Vlahović PK 45’+2, Cáceres 65’</p>
<p id="CHV77I"><strong>Cards</strong>: Günter 68’, Sturaro 90’+1; Bonaventura 19’, Kouamé 90’+3, Martínez Quarta 90’+5</p>
<h1 id="lIXZHy">What’s next</h1>
<p id="E1AEtG">Fiorentina earn their first win in 7 games (the last one was against Udinese back in February) and get a big lift heading into a grudge match with Super League failures <a href="https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com">Juventus</a> this weekend, although Bonaventura will be suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Perhaps more importantly, the Viola boost themselves into 13th (although Genoa, Spezia, and Torino have a game or two in hand) with 33 points, putting the pressure on Benevento and Cagliari to keep pace.</p>
<p id="IdjzSt">Verona, on the other hand, has now lost 6 of 7 and 3 straight; it’s pretty clear that these players, having reached 41 points, are already thinking about sand, ocean, and drinks with tiny umbrellas in them.</p>

<h1 id="ZzSdYH">Late news</h1>
<p id="TuyGm2">Hellas Verona boss Ivan Jurić picks Daniele Bessa over Mattia Zaccagni in the attack but otherwise trots out his expected XI; the absence of former or on-loan Viola players Nikola Kalinić, Marco Benassi, and Federico Ceccherini is a small comfort. <a href="https://www.violanation.com">Fiorentina</a> mister Giuseppe Iachini replaces the suspended Nikola Milenković with Lucas Martínez Quarta and reintroduces Sofyan Amrabat against his old club in place of Gaetano Castrovilli, but otherwise sticks with the group that collapsed against Sassuolo last time out, although Franck Ribery, who’s fasting for Ramadan, probably can’t go the full 90 on short rest.</p>
<h1 id="vx1wsn">Lineups</h1>
<p id="l0Xayp"><strong>Hellas Verona</strong> (3-4-2-1): Silvestri; Davidowicz, Günter, Dimarco; Faraoni, Ilić, Tameze, Lazović; Barak, Bessa; Lasagna</p>

<p>Two of Serie A’s worst clubs over the past month go head-to-head in what should be a duel for the ages or something.</p> <p id="C6z5bu">Following a classic collapse to lose at Sassuolo on Saturday, <a href="https://www.violanation.com">Fiorentina</a> are back on the road again following a 48-hour “ritiro” to take on Hellas Verona in what would normally be a carnival atmosphere between two sets of supporters who enjoy their gemellaggio. In 75 previous meetings, the Viola hold a W36 D21 L18 edge, including a W4 D3 L3 mark in the past 10 meetings. The <a href="https://www.violanation.com/2020/12/20/22191038/fiorentina-1-1-hellas-verona-player-grades-ratings-3-things-we-learned-serie-a-analysis">reverse fixture</a> finished all even thanks to a pair of soft penalties.</p>
<p id="8cvBJv">The referee for this one is 34-year-old Alessandro Prontera of Bologna. This will be just his 5th ever Serie A game, with 2 coming earlier this year, but he’s got a reputation for being a bit trigger happy with the cards. Weirdly enough, half of his top flight experience involves Fiorentina, and they’ve won both of those games with minimal referee involvement, so he’s very much an unknown quantity here.</p>
<p id="m3vggb">The match will be played on <strong>Tuesday, 20 April 2021</strong>, at <strong>7:45 PM GMT/2:45 PM EST</strong>, at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi in Verona. The forecast calls for another lovely spring day, sunny but with some nice fluffy clouds in the sky as well, and no rain. You know, the sort of weather that makes it feel like the world is mocking your pain.</p>
<h1 id="Eqhu2K">Hellas Verona</h1>
<p id="Yn53ni">For the second year in a row, the Mastini have impressed the league despite an unheralded roster. They currently sit 9th in the table with 41 points and should finish with their highest tally in Serie A since 2014, although they have hit a very rough patch of late, losing 5 of their past 6 games (beating just Cagliari in that time). There’s no real chance of Europe for them but there’s also no chance of relegation, which means we’re looking at another smashing success for a team with the third-lowest wage bill in the top flight.</p>
<p id="12ij8U">Manager Ivan Jurić will have to work without a pair of Fiorentina loanees in CB Federico Ceccherini (thigh) and CM Marco Benassi (calf), as well as CB Gianluca Magnani (flu), CM Miguel Veloso (neck), CM Ronaldo Vieira (thigh), and CF Nikola Kalinić (fatigue). Perhaps due to all the injuries, Jurić tried a 4-4-2 last time out against Sampdoria, but the 1-3 loss should restore his faith in the 3-4-2-1 we associate with him. AM Antonin Barak (7 goals, 2 assists) leads the club in scoring, with AM Mattia Zaccagni (5 goals, 7 assists) the main creative hub and wingbacks Federico Dimarco (4 goals, 3 assists), Darko Lazović (3 goals, 4 assists), and Marco Faraoni (2 goals, 6 assists) contributing quite a bit as well.</p>
<p id="kH3OJR">You’ll notice that the strikers aren’t listed there. Partly it’s because Kevin Lasagna and company have simply finished rather poorly all year, but the forwards’ job is more about holding up play, winning knockdowns, and dragging the opposition out of position to open space for the attackers and wingbacks. They don’t score much (39 on the season, 7th-fewest in Serie A) and create very few chances, but they tend to take the ones they make. Stylistically, they look to sit deep and play very direct, counterattacking brand of soccer, often looking for long switches to the wingbacks and mostly eschewing horizontal and backwards passing; the midfielders are almost entirely screeners rather than schemers. Between Barak’s shooting and Zaccagni’s guile, they can strike pretty much out of nowhere, which means Fiorentina’s defense will have to focus for the full 90 minutes. Yeah, I know.</p>
<h1 id="r7f6iA">Fiorentina</h1>
<p id="9kN87m">It’s nearly May, so Fiorentina must be involved in a relegation battle again. This time, the Viola sit 16th with 30 points, leading Benevento on head-to-head and with a slender 5 point lead over Cagliari. They’ve earned 4 points from their last 5 games and haven’t kept a clean sheet since February amidst reports of dressing room tension and organizational infighting. It feels like a miracle that they aren’t in the drop zone, but with 7 matches left, the 5 point buffer seems awfully flimsy.</p>
<p id="9YaxOp">Manager Giuseppe Iachini will have to cope without Nikola Milenković (suspended) and Borja Valero. Sofyan Amrabat could return to face his former side at Erick Pulgar’s expense, and Christian Kouamé might spell Franck Ribery, whose ancient legs probably need some rest, but it should be mostly the same XI that puked all over itself against Sassuolo. Hopefully, the guys want to redeem themselves to the fans and to Rocco Commisso, who’ll be in attendance. Otherwise, we could be in for another putrid display.</p>
<p id="GS16Xq">The Scaglieri defend deep and compact, happily allowing opponents to keep the ball in front of them. They allow the 3rd-most shots in Serie A, but also the lowest percentage on target, which indicates that they’re fantastic at tempting opponents into bad decisions. That’s the secret, as they excel at tempting other teams into corners and then dispossessing and them and speeding the other way. That said, over the past few weeks, they’ve looked much shakier at the back. Crosses from deep positions, simple flick-ons, and balls in behind have called the back line’s communication into question. A big, strong, and quick striker like Dušan Vlahović could tear them apart if he gets some support; the ball is in Iachini’s court.</p>

<h1 id="pQSPyR">Ted’s Memorial Blind Guess Department</h1>
<p id="w8epXW">Both of these teams threw away 1-0 halftime leads by conceding 3 in the second period this weekend, so it’s really a matter of who’s more fragile. Verona are slight favorites per the odds, but they’ve been so bad recently (especially in defense) that it’s hard to pick them as winners. That, of course, could equally apply to Fiorentina, so it’s mighty tough to call.</p>
<p id="Mt8MCC">I’m going with Fiorentina to take a 1-2 victory because this team always manages to come together at the unlikeliest of moments. With two defenses that seem badly out of sorts, we could see a lot of chances, so the game could well come down to which outfit has the better striker. Since Vlahović is vastly superior to Lasagna, that would seem to hand Fiorentina the edge, but it’s probably going to be a game in which the winner capitalizes on mistakes rather than forges anything brilliant themselves.</p>
