Monza, first win. Verona ko at home
Hellas Verona-Monza 0-3
Sensational threesome in Verona for Nesta’s Monza, which in one stroke saves bench and leaves the last place in the standings They celebrate the 300 Brianza fans in front of 25 thousand spectators. Standings: Verona 9, Monza 7. Next round (day 9° first leg): Atalanta-Verona (Saturday, Oct. 26, 8:45 p.m.), Monza-Venice (Sunday, Oct. 27, 3 p.m.).
First half. Monza tries to surprise Hellas, Montipò says no to Mota, corner, nothing done. The Lombards believe in it: the former Caprari invents from the left, great conclusion signed Mota (8’), off-center on the right, ball in the far corner, nothing to do for the Scaliger extreme: Verona-Monza 0-1 to the joy of the 300 fans of Brianza. Bentegodi suddenly glacial, the Gialloblù fans would like to immediately shake off the cold shower. But unlike the immediate draw observed against Venezia, Verona slams against the wall raised by Nesta’s team. The Lombardi pounced on the counterattack with an inspired Caprari. Verona begins to gain meters, favored by a refusing Monza. But as the minutes pass, the Lombardi are forced back by the gialloblù. They are good at winning corners in series, but only one seems to lean in their favor: Ghilardi’s breakaway looks successful, miraculous è the extreme Turati to prevent the 1 to 1. In 5 minutes Verona, led by Duda, collects 3 corners and a couple of crosses. Turati remains inoperative. The Veronese try from outside, punctually rebounded. Gialloblù flashes at the end of the half: Tchatchoua’s cross from the right side goes over Turati, he picks up on the left side Tengstedt, drinks two of them, finds the bottom, looking for the framing goal but the shot goes out at the second post.
Second half. Hellas with the accelerator in the beginning, Turati says no to Lazovic. Monza, mindful of the first half, does not stand by and with the usual Caprari and the other former Djuric creates shivers down the back of the Veronese. Race, now, balanced, which could break a player from the bench. The plays jump, Monza one step away from doubling, good for lHellas that Mari’s cannonball hits a resounding post. The minutes pass, we see again the photocopy of the first: Monza all to cover its own 11 meters. The newly-entered Serdar makes the fans of the Bentegodi shout to the net in a general assault: Turati and his teammates are unbeatable in what is now an attack on the stagecoach.And when the draw seems a done deal, the fateful law of soccer intervenes: a millimetric throw vertically for Mota (29′) who does not let himself be begged, beating Montipo’ for the second time: Verona-Monza 0-2. That becomes Monza tic-tac-toe at 33′ with Bianco who, at speed, always in the central corridor, probably unbalances Faraoni and beats the Scaliger extreme.

So Alessandro Nesta, Monza coach, on the eve of the match against Como: “It’s an important match for us because it’s been a difficult season, we’ve been missing something. Winning a derby can help put a piece to the season, it would be important, we hope to do well.”
Facing us will be mister Cesc Fabregas who in the conference spoke of a Monza that was difficult to beat and that, net of the standings, put many teams in trouble: “I return the esteem because he plays great soccer, his idea has been seen throughout the championship. I have to congratulate him”.
The derby against the Larians will be the first ever in Serie A at the’U-Power Stadium: “I hope tomorrow will be anyone’s day, anyone who wants to do their best to make history. If you win 1-0, 30 years from now we will remember that derby won because of a player. It’s an opportunity to stay in the history of this club. I would rather win the derby than finish second to last. You are always relegated, but if you win the derby you stay in history”.
Nesta recovers, at least for the bench, Luca Caldirola, Andrea Carboni and Stefano Sensi. “What I try to convey to the players are the difficulties I had. I had surgery 10 times and stopped at 38. All players have difficulties, but it matters how you react to difficulties. It’s easy to tell that I won the Champions League or that I won the World Cup, but you also have to tell that I lost a derby 5-1 and that I left the Olimpico in a helicopter. If you are given up for dead, you have to bring out the fire in you. Would I reconfirm myself next season? No, given the results”.

When there were 30 minutes to the end of FP2 resumed the activity on the track, interrupted for the Jack Doohan’s very bad accident.
But the red flags were soon back flying for the’Fernando Alonso off the track, ended up in the sand without consequences for driver and car.
The tow truck had to intervene, however, to pull the’Aston Martin out of the gravel. Meanwhile, Doohan is at the medical center for checks.
Moral of the fairy tale, the second free practice session was interrupted four times by red flags, two due to Doohan and Alonso accidents and two due to principles of fire on the grass at the edge of the track due to very strong winds.

Federica Brignone spent a quiet night at the La Madonnina Clinic in Milan. The Fisi Medical Commission that examined her this morning is satisfied with her post-operative course. Later in the day, the champion from Valle d’Aosta will begin assisted physiotherapy.
The ANSA reported the first words after the terrible injury at the Italian championships in Val di Fassa of the winner of the overall World Cup, the second of her career, as well as the downhill and giant slalom trophies and gold in giant slalom and silver in super-G at the World Championships.
“At the happiest time in my career, it just didn’t take, I had another month of work ahead of me and I was looking forward to it. Instead, I will have to face a new challenge in which I will put all of myself, as always,” Federica said.
“The track conditions were great, I was fine, and if I went back I would do everything the same again….trying, however, not to fall!” added Federica finding the strength to joke.
