“Serie B, unexpected scorers and the crisis of old strikers,” the publication is titled. Journal of Sicily on newsstands today.
A bomber is needed in Serie B. A beautiful championship, balanced and sometimes spectacular, but without big “stars” in the most exciting role of a striker. Morocco’s Cheddira tops the table with 15 goals, 5 of them from penalties. Second Brunori with 13 goals, 4 of them from penalties. For three quarters of the championship, after twenty-eight games, no one scored more than ten goals from the field, which “rejects” the forwards of the cadet championship as a whole. Even if someone could answer: what if the defense improved? If there is any doubt, there are a number of anomalies in this tournament, which marks the end of a generation of forwards that have made its history. So much so that the first two forwards in the standings, namely Cheddira and Brunori, albeit without exorbitant numbers, come from Serie C. Luca Toni’s thirty goals in 2004 are far away (but it was a championship with a large number of teams and, consequently, a large number games). .
But the twenty teams remaining in the competition, Ciccio Caputo’s 26 Empoli goals in 2018, Donnarumma’s 25 Brescia goals in 2019, not to mention Lapadula’s 27 non-penalty goals in 2016. -2017 season with Pescara. The Bomber Crisis is confirmed by the merciless balance of players who should have been the protagonists on the eve of this season. If we also want to get Massimo Coda, a great player in Genoa and the top scorer of the last two cadet championships in Lecce, then things are not going well for him.
It’s hard to tell who keeps their promises. One above all: Franco Vazquez, who, despite not being a real striker, supports Parma with his goals. He scored fourteen last season without a penalty, and he already has eight goals. Gianluca Lapadula confirms himself, who after 11 goals last season in Benevento scored 11 goals this year in Cagliari with just two penalties. Finn “Venice” Pohjanpalo also keeps his promises, scoring 9 goals from two penalties. And also Mirco Antonucci from the next Cittadella
opponent of Palermo, who scored eight times.
