🤩 Venezia set world record in Serie B, surpass Real, PSG, Inter | OneFootball

There is one team, and only one in the world, that this year has achieved eight consecutive victories. No, it’s not Real Madrid, nor Barcelona, and not even Chivu’s Inter, which stopped at six.

We’re talking about Giovanni Stroppa’s Venezia, who on Saturday afternoon in Frosinone secured three crucial points in a very tough match, away to the second-placed team, and extended their lead to +3 over Monza, clinching – as mentioned – their 8th consecutive win.

Serie B, as we know, is an unpredictable league, and for this very reason the coach of the “lagunari” asked for calm in the post-match, emphasizing that the road is still long: "Before, we had to win them all, now I say we still have to win them all. Whoever you face, even with a different position in the standings, plays the match of their life. Every game is tricky."

👏 Like Chivu’s Inter

And to think that at the start of the year, among the orange-green fans, there were those who called for Stroppa’s head, who after the defeat in Catanzaro found himself in 6th place, 8 points from the top. But since that November 2, the run began, made up of eleven wins and one draw in the last 12 outings. The same tally as Inter in Serie A, certifying the dominance of both teams up to this point. 

The difference is that, while in Serie A it seems only Milan can trouble the “nerazzurri”, in Serie B the race is still wide open, with four teams within 6 points. Speaking of Venezia, watch out for Monza, who, by beating Avellino, reclaimed second place at the expense of Frosinone.

Fourth, meanwhile, is Pippo Inzaghi’s Palermo, who a year ago took his Doge from Venezia, Pohjanpalo, now the undisputed king of Serie B strikers with 15 goals.

🤩 Stankovic super, Svoboda and Busio leaders! And Yeboah...

If the “rosanero” have a team strong in individuals but still struggling to create play, Venezia instead is a real show. Stroppa has created a machine that sporting director Antonelli tried to improve in January, even if it seems unlikely anyone can really break into the starting XI.

From Stankovic returning to great form after last year’s injury, to Svoboda dominating in the second division, not to mention Busio, Kike Perez, Yeboah...

For those lucky enough to go to the Penzo this year, it’s clear: this Venezia is much stronger than the two versions from their recent promotions. 

With the new stadium currently under construction (the end of works is scheduled for 2027), the picture is complete. Venezia wants to establish itself in the Italian football élite and is trying to do so quickly, perhaps to attract investors who can take the club to the next level. Rumors from the lagoon assure that someone important has already come to talk. Future discussions, to be addressed at the end of the season. Of course, presenting themselves with a promotion and a new stadium wouldn’t be a bad calling card.
