Unusual situation in the rise of Italy: he looked good, he was replaced and started drinking beer on the bench

Venezia beat Spal 2-1 in a match corresponding to the Italian Serie B. However, and beyond the fact that the match was essential to move away from the last places in the standings, there was a situation that took all the flashes involving one of the main protagonists of the day.

The deceased striker plays in Venice Joel Pohjanpalowhich was the big figure in his team’s victory. The 28-year-old striker has been instructed to distribute two assists so that Tanner Tessmann and Nicholas Pierini are in charge of getting the ball on goal.

However, beyond his great performance on the pitch, Pohjanpalo was a star performer once his coach decided his time in the match was up. Of course, the result had to be taken care of and Paolo Vanoli arranged for Andrija Novakovich to come on at the end to revitalize the offensive side of his team.

Off the pitch, Pohjanpalo did not take his place on the substitutes’ bench, but instead went to the stadium bar to buy a glass of beer. With the victory just completed, the attacker returned to the field to celebrate with the fans, who were far from disapproving of this attitude.

This victory for Venice served to take a breather and move away from the lower places in the standingssince, he has reached 27 points and has taken a three-point lead over Spal, which today is the last team that would be losing the category.

After the defeat, Daniele De Rossi was fired

The 39-year-old Italian, a former Roma and Boca player, has been left out of work after poor results. Spal was the first coaching experience for the world champion in 2006, but his results weren’t the best. In 17 matches he scored an average: 3 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses.

A peculiarity is that Radja Nainggolan would go with him. The midfielder, a recent signing of the club, arrived due to his close relationship with De Rossi. Their friendship was forged over the years they shared at Roma and, in fact, this factor was essential for the Belgian to play in Serie B.. Without his friend, Nainggolan too would have decided to leave the institute.
