There is one team, and only one in the world, that this year has achieved eight consecutive victories. No, it's not Real Madrid, nor Barcelona, and not even Chivu's Inter, which stopped at six.
We are talking about Giovanni Stroppa's Venezia, which on Saturday afternoon in Frosinone secured three points in a crucial match, at the home of the second in the standings, and extended their lead to +3 over Monza, achieving - indeed - their 8th consecutive victory.
Serie B, as we know, is an unpredictable league, and precisely for this reason, the coach of the lagoon team asked for calm in the post-match, emphasizing that the road is still long: "Before we had to win them all, now I say we still have to win them all. Whoever you face, even with a different ranking, plays the game of their life. All matches are tricky."
👏 Like Chivu's Inter
And to think that at the beginning of the year, among the orange-black-green fans, there were those who were calling for Stroppa's head, who after the defeat in Catanzaro found himself in 6th place, 8 points from the top. But from that November 2nd, the march began, consisting of eleven wins and one draw in the last 12 outings. The same tally that Inter has collected in Serie A, certifying the dominance of the two teams up to this point.
The difference is that, while in Serie A it seems that only Milan can challenge the Nerazzurri, in Serie B the race is still wide open, with four teams within 6 points. Speaking of Venezia, watch out for Monza, which by winning against Avellino reclaimed second place at the expense of Frosinone.
Fourth, however, is Pippo Inzaghi's Palermo, which a year ago took away its Doge, Pohjanpalo, from Venezia, who is now the undisputed king of Serie B scorers with 15 goals.
🤩 Stankovic superb, Svoboda and Busio leaders! And Yeboah...
If the Rosanero have a team strong in individuals but continue to struggle in creating play, Venezia, on the other hand, is a spectacle. Stroppa has created a machine that sporting director Antonelli tried to improve in January, although it seems difficult for anyone to really disrupt the starting XI.
From Stankovic, back in great form after last year's injury, to Svoboda dominating in the second division, passing through various players like Busio, Kike Perez, Yeboah...
For those who have had the fortune to go to the Penzo this year, the message is clear: this Venezia is much stronger than the two versions of the last promotions.
With the new stadium currently under construction (completion is expected by 2027), the picture is complete. Venezia wants to enter the elite of Italian football permanently and is trying to do so quickly, perhaps to attract investors who can take the club to the next level. Rumors from the lagoon assure that someone important has already come to talk.
