After eleven years, the clash between the yellow-blue and the black-green returns to Serie B. Berardi will start from the bench as will the other former great Defrel who is now in the canary
MODENA – Modena – Reggiana or Modena – Bologna does not have the history of rivalry and parish. But it’s still a derby so it brings the spice of territory head-to-head with sporting details. Sassuolo – Modena is another match, and in its short history, today’s match will be the 21st, however it has been affected by unforgettable stages. From the first time, the 3-0 neroverde in November 2008, to the last one in Serie B, in 2013, when Matteo Ardemagni postponed Sassuolo’s jump to Serie A, not forgetting the surprise final 3 -2 for the Gialli two years ago in Italian. Cup.
From history to current events, the link is Domenico Berardi, who was there against Modena eleven years ago and will still be there today. In Serie B, the black and green champion is already making a difference even if only on a part-time basis and is a reflection of a Sassuolo team that has been flying for a month and a half. The best team in the championship since September, the neroverdi can overtake Spezia, held 0-0 by Bari in the 10th matchday, and jump to 2nd place. Sassuolo is on the scent of the Serie A zone, thanks to an attack that was able to score 11 goals in the last two games, 14 in the last 5. 12 of these came in the second half: that’s where Sassuolo is, thanks to a long and qualitative bench because. no one, he crushed the resistance of his opponents.
However, Modena also did well in the second half: the Gialli would have had 16 points if only the results after the break were counted. It means that the team has athletic resistance and knows how to react, despite the absences. The problem is in the first half, when Modena went under in 6 out of 9 games. Bisoli hoped to recover men but he finds Caso, Defrel and even Gliozzi with few minutes left and this week he lost the captain Pergreffi for the whole season. “I have never seen so many injuries in my entire career” said the Modena coach on the eve of the game, who is banking on Gerli’s full-time return and Palumbo’s genius to slow down the Sassuolo train.
