Alvini entrusting Moro to dismantle Palermo’s defense

Last Updated: October 21, 2023

Massimiliano Alvini, coach of Spezia, is ready to relaunch Luca Moro in the center of the attack in the match against Palermo, scheduled for Monday (October 23) at 8:30 PM at the Barbera stadium. The striker, formerly from Catania and recently promoted to Serie A with Frosinone, has been in a slump for a month and has dropped in the rankings in favor of 18-year-old Pio Esposito, a rising star and Inter property. However, the Spezia coach intends to start Moro against Palermo on Monday night. “He has worked hard in the past two weeks, he is doing well and I am sure he will have a great game at the Barbera stadium on Monday night. He has our full confidence and is waiting for an important match like this.” Spezia has some selection problems with long-term injuries to Wisniewski and Hristov, and Muhl is also unavailable due to a muscle problem. “In midfield, we will see if Bandinelli can start due to a contusion he suffered against Pisa. And we also need to check on Kouda, who has inflammation.” The boy from Mariano Comense, with parents from Burkina Faso, is the real revelation of the team. As a playmaker, he is showcasing interesting skills despite being only 20 years old and a newcomer to Serie B. According to Alvini, Palermo is a strong team aiming for promotion. “The Rosanero team is built for a clear goal. They have been together for a year with the same coach. We are a new team, built with new ideas and a growing process. We respect them, but we will give it our all. I see a sense of responsibility growing in the team. The standings are not good, we know that, but we also come from three important positive results, achieved with quality performances.”
