Marchisio was something we missed, he gave us a spark with great energy in the middle. Del Piero did what he always does. FORZA CIROOOOO

What a bitter owl there, still discredits our players to defend CR
We were conceding at least one goal per match from the offside trap, who failed to intercept vertical passes.
As of lately, each and every team we faced, knew how to beat us and used that tactic.
For months and months i was expecting from CR to find smth to counter this, but he never came up with smth. Ciro, may not be a complete coach just yet, but as an experienced leader and defender, did noticed that and actually did smth about it!! That was the least and the most i was expecting from Ferrara.
I didnt expect to make any other chances, because he doesnt have the necessary time to do so!
The increased determination was a bonus, that did made the difference in our case. Determination alone is not enough to win games,, but thats the only thing we lacked against the lesser teams lately.
Getting rid of Marchionni's and Moli's long crosses is still not confirmed, as Ciro's quality.
Very fair comments by our coach there. It was about time we were sparred with the lame ones. Impressive to see that Ciro took no credit for himself and also avoided to bash CR's work and efficiency, claiming that our players would have done the same anyway, when it was crystal clear that they wouldnt!

I was just thinking that. Had we won only 4 of the last 7 matches we would have the Scudetto. But we all have PHD's in hindsight now don't we.
Anyway, regarding Ferrara's tactical changes or lack there of, I don't think we could have asked for much more. He got the balance completely right; had we changed formation etc. it would have been foolish to assume that the team could get it all together in one week. He had no choice but to bring on Melberg, had DC not been injured then we may have seen Giovinco playing but at least he was on the bench. I think his subs were good and all three made perfect sense. The one big difference and most important, is that our defensive line isn't so high anymore. The answer to the problem was in front of us the whole time, we were conceding goals from counter attack after counter attack and Ciro made the necessary change.
My only problem was that Ciro started subbing way to late, especially considering the conditions and that the team began to fatigue.
Never the less, these were the differences between Ciro and Ranieri that may be small but make all the difference. And we can't ignore the fact that each player looks 10x more motivated under Ciro then Ranieri either.
