Serie B – Abc Solettificio Manetti, it’s time to write the finale with Campus Piemonte

Forty minutes to write the ending. ABC Solettificio Manetti is preparing to travel the last 100 meters of this second playout phase. To do so tomorrow, Saturday 20 April, she will leave for Corneliano d’Alba where she will be expected at Pala958 on the Piedmont Campus for the last day, scheduled simultaneously on all pitches at 8.30pm (referees Pirazzi from Serravalle Sesia, D’Errico of Grugliasco). A match that will encompass the entire yellow-blue season and on the result of which will depend the possibility of gaining direct salvation or, on the contrary, going for broke in the play-off play-off.

Coach Samuele Manetti’s boys, fresh from the home defeat against Oleggio, will visit one of the two teams now mathematically relegated which however, for its part, will be driven by the desire to bid farewell to the season and the series in the best possible way. B, in front of their fans. One of those matches that are impossible to predict, in which the head will play an unquestionably more important role than the legs. On the other hand, needless to say, the pressure will be all on the yellow and blue. Ranking in hand, in fact, ABC will have to win in order to toast their stay in Serie B and avoid the playout lottery; in the event of defeat, however, they will have to hope for the defeat of Sestri, who in turn are playing in Collegno. But as we know, calculations always take their time. Tomorrow we will need to take the field with the awareness of only one useful result: victory.

A victory that ABC managed to bring home in the first leg match thanks to Andrea Scali’s buzzer beater, who wrote 67-64 on the PalaBetti scoreboard at the sound of the siren. A success that came at the end of a match that remained in the balance for forty minutes in front of a team, that of coach Jacomuzzi, who made life anything but simple for the yellow and blue. Young but talented, the Piedmontese team has its foundations in the Under 19 Eccellenza team, which represents the main pool for the B series. Starting with the Estonian director Erik Makke, the undisputed strong point of the Piedmontese together with the wingers Ivan Mobio, Matteo Rinaldin and Dennis Erhaghewu, all with a personal score averaging double figures. Defending the local team, however, are the Congolese center Lamine Camara and the wingers Luka Lomtadze and Joshua Osarenkhoe, who bring physicality and solidity under the basket.

But this time, more than their opponents, coach Manetti’s ABC will have to look at themselves and the 100 meters left to go to reach the finish line of the season that marked their return to Serie B. A book already written which only lacks ‘last page. And this ABC has pen and paper in hand to write its own ending.
Abc Solettificio Manetti, now it’s your turn.
