In Catanzaro the wait is measured with the sold out sectors of the “Ceravolo” dedicated to local fans. The duel with Cremonese is seen as a springboard towards the dream of a double jump in category.
The rise of a year ago, undisputed and indisputable, laid the foundations for a surprising ranking: fifth place, 4 points behind Cremo, is the right reward for Vivarini and his team, who have only one worry in this championship, the points left at the “Ceravolo” where with the big teams so far only one draw has been achieved with Palermo.
And at home Catanzaro haven’t won since February 27th against Bari and are fresh from two defeats, the last against Como, two weeks ago.
On the other hand, despite a month with only three points in four outings, Cremonese can bring their ability to take on matches against their rivals in a direct clash. The experience of the players in the squad and the quality of Stroppa’s staff will have to come out especially now, in the decisive moment of the championship, in a season finale that has only sketched out verdicts.
The objective, reiterated on Friday at the Arvedi center by the coach, is to still aim for direct promotion without thinking about the playoffs. An ambitious goal but one that denotes confidence in one’s means. There are many ways to dissolve the grey-red formation and in all departments. At 3.15pm the cards will be revealed. From 4.15pm, Catanzaro and Cremonese will lower their respective axes to fuel the same dream.
