Day number thirty-four of this cadet championship opened yesterday evening and continues today with the full meal, first with the races at 2pm and then with those at 4.15pm; after which we will have more responses on what is still a compelling ranking. At the Cino e Lillo Del Duca stadium in Ascoli Piceno, the hosts are forced to score points in the hope of survival, taking advantage of the Canaries’ terrible moment, fresh from the change of bench during the week. There is quite a bit of controversy over the referee appointment for this round, Ayroldi, accused of being a fan of Bari, Ascoli’s direct competitor for survival. Carrera recovers Nestorovski, ready in case for a jersey from the 1st minute; a different story for Botteghin, who has overcome the muscle injury but urgently needs a few more days to fully recover.
How Ascoli arrives
The Marche players arrive at the match with two heavy draws in the big group: two consecutive zero-to-zero draws which increasingly highlight the difficulty in finding the way to the net. At the moment the team coached by Massimo Carrera occupies the third to last position; which would mean relegation. Two, the only points that separate the hosts from Spezia and Bari, and three from Ternana who are now safe. Meanwhile, the owner, Massimo Pulcinelli, intervened on the topic of the referee, taking his side and demanding maximum commitment from him.
How Modena arrives
A team in full emergency presents itself at Del Duca, fresh from the defeat against Catanzaro in the last round of the championship. Twenty minutes were enough, so to speak, to show the Emilians’ lack of approach to the challenge, down by two goals in the first part of the match. This week saw the change on the bench: Bianco out, Bisoli in, whose task is to “escape” the playout zone, now just four points away. Modena has not had success since 27 January, when paradoxically they destroyed league leaders Parma with a clear and peremptory score of three to zero.
