Christian Langella is ready to take Rimini back. And with him Mattia Leoncini also returns to thicken the red and white midfield. The moment is decisive and Mister Troise breathes a sigh of relief. Because after having jumped through hoops recently to put the midfield together, from tomorrow the Campania coach will have a few more arrows. And the match against Virtus Entella, the penultimate of the championship, is one in which everyone’s help will be needed. Rimini has a specific task: to hold on to tenth place and say the word playoff on the Sunday evening of April 28th, the one of verdicts. In recent weeks the infirmary has not been at all kind to the Rimini midfielders. First Langella, then Leoncini and Iacoponi and finally Malagrida. The first two, after a couple of weeks of rehabilitation and differentiated work, have returned to running regularly with their teammates in the last few days. Iacoponi and Malagrida, however, just like Cernigoi, will need a few more days to get back into the running. And at least the last two could be available for the last round of the regular season at Gubbio. But in the meantime against the Ligurians tomorrow Langella should return to taking control in the middle of the pitch, something he has always done this season. So much so that he is one of the indispensable red and whites with his over 2,500 minutes on the pitch. Only a muscle problem was able to stop him. Presumably Sala will also return to make up the Rimini midfield from the first minute. While one of Megelaitis, Delcarro and Garetto are competing for the other available place.
But hypothetically even more than one, if the Neapolitan coach was still in the mood to try something new. The choices will be up to Troise and, now, without even having to worry about keeping an eye on the clock while thinking about the playing time to be given to the under players. The newfound abundance in the middle of the pitch could allow Tofanari to return to his natural role in defence. This morning in the last training session of the week the final details will be finalised. Rimini knows they have to focus once again on the friendly warmth of ‘Romeo Neri’ to try to achieve, after salvation, their second goal of the season. The mission is not impossible.
