Hellas Verona: Gibellini predicts top three Serie B finish
Former Hellas Verona sporting director Mauro Gibellini has shared his analysis of the club’s current standing in Serie B. Gibellini identified Verona as one of the top three contenders for the championship, noting that while the squad is well-constructed, some players still carry the remnants of their previous relegation. He praised manager Marco Baroni’s ability to find the right balance and suggested that the team needs a more reliable defensive leader.
Gibellini also commented on individual players, expressing hope for Suslov’s recovery and stating that Cerbone should be a regular starter due to his hunger and physical pace.
In a separate profile, Hellas Verona player Nunzio Lella discussed his competitive nature and career journey. Lella, who wears number 23, described his commitment to the team, noting his tendency to play through physical exhaustion, such as cramps, to support the club. He detailed his tactical preferences, stating a preference for playing as a left mezzala, and reflected on his professional path from Bari to Sardinia and eventually to Verona.
