Three days from the start of Serie B, strikers are the most talked about names. And in this category, "La Gazzetta dello Sport" has dedicated an article to two players, who are ready to steal the scene.
It is about Manuel de Luca of Cremonese and Christian Shpendi of Cesena. Both qualified their teams for the Italian Cup, where the Albanian of the Shpresa team scored against Padova a week ago, but also against Verona of Serie A.
Goal habit - “Two goals, a post and a goal disallowed due to an alleged attacking foul. The context changes, but the scoring habits don't for Kristian Shpendi, one of Cesena's main strikers in last season's triumphant Serie C season and one of the cover players in the Coppa Italia today. First against Padova and then against Verona, the Albanian center forward was decisive, just like last season, when the turnover of number 9, in his first real year as a starter, captured these numbers: 20 goals in the championship and one in the Super Cup.
Confirmed at the heart of Cesena's attack, having previously been touted up and down by Serie A clubs Lazio, Torino and Fiorentina who all followed suit in the summer. Shpendi wants to start playing again to score and dream in Serie B, in a championship still unexplored for him and which he will learn from Sunday, starting with his debut against Karareze, which brings back pleasant memories.
Two years ago, on the first day of the 2022-2023 championship, then Cesena coach Toscano sent Christian and his twin Steven onto the field for the first time in the first minute, with the latter scoring the goal first of the season for Cesena, before jumping on the trampoline and going down to Serie A. Now it's Christian's turn, where the expectations of the city that "adopted" him and that had been waiting for 6 years to return to Serie B, are great. " Training young players like Shpendi is really a pleasure ," said coach Mikele Minjani, the technician who trained the twins in the youth sector," the article states.
