Benevento
Two defeats in the last two games, but qualification for the play offs does not seem to be in danger for Latina, Benevento’s opponent on Sunday evening at Vigorito.
Gaetano Fontana spoke again after the home defeat against Turris, but above all after the loss of his father who forced him to stay away from his team from the immediate eve of the match against the Corallini until Monday. An excursus of his period on the Latina bench, dotted with injuries: “Every week I’m looking for new balances.” Two thrilling matches await him, in Benevento and at Francioni against Taranto. There will also be important absences on Sunday: “In the difficulties – says Fontana – we are trying to find other solutions. We don’t have the certainty of continuity, because I’ve never had the team even at 80/90 percent. The truth is that I had it at 50 percent. But I want to find solutions, not problems: on Sunday we will miss Di Livio, who is suspended, and Cortinovis will also be absent as he was playing with groin pain. We decided that he should stop for a while, because we believe in the playoffs.” The coach from Catanzaro knows the difficulties he will face, but he doesn’t want to make excuses: “We try to score as many points as possible and try to recover some players. We know that Rocchi will still be missed. Let’s not forget that I took over a team that was out of the playoffs and is now in.” The conditions of Marino remain to be assessed, as last week he wanted to go to the bench despite being injured, as was D’Orazio.
Latina played last Sunday with 3-4-1-2, but next week they will have to deal with the certain absences of Di Livio (son of “little soldier” Di Livio, ex Juventus) and Cortinovis. If Marino were to recover, he would take the place of Cortinovis, it is difficult to understand who will take the place of captain Di Livio.
