Gianluca Busio at Venezia

Not in the squad today for their league match with Virtus Entella. Don't know why. Maybe card accumulation? Got a yellow last match out.

 

Virtus virus perhaps?

 

Yes. Card accumulation.

 

Busio having a good year off the radar. Goes 90 with four shots in a 3-1 win over Reggiana (Novakovich a halftime sub). Good ratings for Gianluca, and Venezia are firmly in what is at the moment a three-way race for the two auto-promotion spots.

 

Busio starts! Venezia (2nd) hosting Catanzaro (T-5th). Busio is in the very center of a 3-5-2.

​

 

19th minute equalizer from Busio

 

Ends 3-1 and Busio one of the top rated players in the match. Fifth straight league win solidifies their hold on an auto-promotion spot.

 

​

 

Busio starts! Venezia (2nd) visiting Mantova (16th). Busio is again in the very center of a 3-5-2.

​

 

Sounds a little untidy, but Venezia won 2-5, Busio playing the full match.

​

 

6 wins in a row for Venezia

 

Busio starts! Venezia (2nd) hosting Carrarese (9th). Busio scores! Venezia up 1-0 and into 1st place (for the moment, at least).

​

 

Venezia gave up a goal but prevailed in the end, 2-1, to secure first place. Busio played the full match, and with that first-half goal to his credit.

 

The goal:

I’m not gonna keep that clip up long. It’s not exactly street legal

 

I wonder if yo-yo-ing the second time takes some of the shine off

 

Thanks for the tip. I watched it right away!

 

Tutto Mercato Web gave him the highest rating of all Venezia players:

Busio 7 - A box-to-box midfielder of enormous talent. Scored a wonderful goal and guided his teammates' attacks.​

Sensational (and important) comeback victory for Venezia and Busio, who trailed Frosinone 1-0 well into the second half, but after benefitting from an own goal (63') to draw level, scored the match-winner at 77'. Busio played the full match.

Venezia remain in 1st, but now four points clear of Frosinone (2nd) and six in front of Monza (3rd, but with a match in hand).

Busio continues to be rated the top midfielder in all of Serie B:

Dang I really like those jerseys and actually have some Cynar so that's a cool sponsor. I tried to get a Tessmann one when he was there but they were always out. Saw someone wearing a Tessmann Lyon jersey last night and it was sharp.

 

Hopefully his 2nd go around in Serie A will reflect this.
