On the one hand, the appointment with history, on the other the need to think also and above all of the salvation challenge on Sunday against Udinese.
Thus, Vincenzo Italiano's Spezia, which will compete against Napoli for the passage to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, a goal never reached by the Ligurian club, could be largely the one that beat Roma in the second round, or made up of the least used players up to now.
A necessity, also in the light of a squad that is short in some roles: Vignali the only right back available, Galabinov the only central striker in light of Nzola and Piccoli's injuries.
Hardly both will be on the pitch from 1 'to Maradona.
"On Sunday we have an important match against Udinese, so we will make some choices to be able to field competitive formations in both matches; we have some injuries, like Nzola's, but I have faith in the guys at my disposal," says Italiano, who does not hides the satisfaction of "having reached the quarter-finals. We want to honor our commitment and do well, trying to propose our football once again. We will face a very strong team that in the league, despite putting us in difficulty, we managed to beat ; Gattuso's team will want to redeem themselves after the knockout in the league, so I'm sure we will find them even more aggressive than usual. "
For the challenge to the Neapolitans, the Sicilian coach, who must also do without Saponara and Pobega not at his best, could propose the Dutch Zoet in goal, after the long injury suffered in October.
In defense, space for the central couple made up of Erlic and Ismajli, with Bastoni and Ramos acting on the flanks;
in the median, the direction should be entrusted to Matteo Ricci, with Deiola and Acampora candidates for a starting shirt, while a light trident with Gyasi, Agudelo and Verde is likely forward.
