Torino-Fiorentina 2-1: Zaza and Ansaldi make Montella wobble

December 8, 2019

TURIN – A good Turin, within the walls of friends, has spread a Fiorentina more and more in crisis, with Montella's shaky bench. At the "Grande Torino" Olimpico the grenades were imposed thanks to a goal in time, signed by Zaza (who made peace with Mazzarri) and by Ansaldi, a real leader of the orphan training of Captain Belotti. For Toro it is the second success in a row, which raises the quotations of the club presided over by Cairo, now in the middle of the standings, at 20. For the viola, almost unrecognizable, especially in the approach, instead, it is the fourth consecutive knockout, that pushes Church and companions more and more into the rear of the classification of the Serie A. Only in the final of the race the Tuscans gave "signs of life" with the goal of Caceres and with some good action of the Church. In the hosts, orphans not only of the "Gallo" but also of the unavailable Iago Falque and Lyanco and the suspended Edera, Walter Mazzarri has deployed (in the usual 3-5-2) Izzo, Nkoulou and Bremer in front of Sirigu; De Silvestri (released on 12 'due to injury and replaced by Aina), Baselli, Rincon, Ansaldi and Berenguer in the nerve zone; with Verdi and Zaza forward.In the guests, without Pezzella, Ribery and Boateng, Vincenzo Montella opted for 4-3-3, with Caceres, Milinkovic, Ceccherini and Dalbert protecting Dragowski; Pulgar, Benassi and Castrovilli; Ghezzal, Vlahovic and Chiesa in the attacking trident. At the beginning, Zaza is unleashed. He tries at 18 'but slams on Ceccherini and 21' with prompt response from Dragowski. Then, on the 22nd minute, the former Juve found the goal of the advantage, on a fine cross from the left by Ansaldi. In the second half, Vlahovic tries first but the target is missing. So, in a quarter of an hour Sirigu is opposed to Church. Ten minutes later the grenade goalkeeper responds also present on the shot of the newly placed Sottil. Then at 27 'the 2-0 arrives with a winning left from Ansaldi's limit.
In the final Fiorentina reacts. First Sottil eats the goal from close range. Then Caceres bags on a nice Church cross. Finally, the same Church is almost equal to 2. Beautiful but late reaction: just the success of the grenade.
