Honors Even at the Garilli

I refrained from hyping up last weeks 1-0 victory over Frosinone due to superstitious reasons. I will now break my media silence.

Reggina drew level today (0-0) on a Monday road trip to Piacenza. Both teams were solid in defense, and their current league positions kept the teams playing cautiously. Despite the lack of goals in the match, each team had a few moments that made you hold your breath. Perhaps Piacenza came the closest to breaking the deadlock in the second half, only being denied by the woodwork.

Couple changes were made to Roberto Breda’s 3-5-2. We saw Andrea Costa instead of Rizzato, and Emmanuel Cascione played in place of the suspended Tedesco. Former Piacenza hero Daniele Cacia was paired with Franco Brienza up front. Cacia asked for playing time and he has gotten it over the past 3 matches, but has failed to impress. Except to see Bonazzoli back in a starting role this weekend.

What’s there to say about a 0-0 draw? I love Daniel Adejo [pictured] getting another 90 minutes of action. He’s proven to be a valuable asset in an unfamiliar central defensive role. Pietro Marino has held his own with the injury to Fiorillo. When you’re 6′7″ like Marino is, it’s hard to do a lot of wrong.

I’m not buying into this “let’s string together some wins and aim for a playoff spot” mindset. Can’t look past survival at this point. Glad we picked up SOMETHING on the road today. Now we have back-to-back home matches beginning with Modena this weekend. Check back here Saturday when I’m bragging about our victory ;]

One transfer tidbit: Jose Montiel has ended his loan in South America and is back with the team. Will he have a place in Breda’s squad? Only time will tell!
