Monza is practically asking Alessandro Nesta for a miracle. The 48-year-old was exonerated at the 17th game, with 10 points -5 from the salvation line, and returns to the helm with only three more points, seven fewer days and eight lengths from fourth-last Empoli. Nesta was exonerated after the home defeat against Juventus, however, paying above all for the loss suffered in the previous round in Lecce itself. And from the home match against Lecce he will begin the assignment again.
At the Via del Mare, Monza put up a largely inadequate performance, taken totally in control by the Giallorossi despite Turati’s save on Krstovic’s penalty and especially the gift served by Dorgu’s own goal. In the second half, the Brianzoli left the field without finishing toward the mirror of Falcone’s goal.
On Sunday at 3 p.m., Lecce will arrive at U-Power Stadium in a match that is an inside or outside for Monza. Against Giampaolo, the author of 15 of Lecce’s 26 points, Monza will absolutely have to win to keep alive hopes of climbing the ladder already dulled by the disposals of Bondo and Maldini replaced with the loans of Zeroli, Urbanski and Ganvoula.
Nesta, as TuttoSport describes, hurriedly returned to Italy from a Fifa event in South Africa where he was participating as a World Champion. In the 3-point era, only Crotone was saved by starting with 13 points at the 24th (not being last, however) and no one made it with two wins until day 24. Nesta got only the win against Verona, away, while Bocchetti scraped together three points by beating Fiorentina at home.
