Pafundi at Catanzaro: performance fails to impress, differences with Cissé and Liberali
Gazzetta del Sud highlights the forward's struggles in contributing to team play. A stark contrast with the spirit that characterized last season's squad.
Catanzaro remains in serious difficulty, stuck at 6 points and last in the Serie BKT standings, with just three points above bottom-placed Vicenza. Following the defeat against Cesena, analysis of the yellows' situation goes beyond the tactical choices of successive managers: it is also necessary to contend with the insufficient contribution of some players on the pitch.
Gazzetta del Sud has shone a particular spotlight on Simone Pafundi's performance, identifying a specific issue: the player's reluctance to integrate into the team's overall movement during the ninety minutes. A pattern that becomes even more evident when compared with last season's Catanzaro, where players of the caliber of Alphadjo Cissè and Mattia Liberali embodied a very different spirit of sacrifice and availability for their teammates.
