Lawn it is one of the most important squares of group D Of D Series and boasts 64 participations in the Serie C championship, which is also why he was in pole position at the starting line. But things didn’t go too well, so much so that two benches were lost, first Lucio Brando immediately on 18 September and then also the replacement Raffaele Novelli. Last January 16th the club decided on yet another turnaround and the Juniores coach was promoted as technical manager of the first team, Maurizio Ridolfi (photo from the company’s Facebook page), 54 years old, originally from Campi Bisenzio. The “treatments” of the new coach worked, so much so that from the safety zone Prato moved up to seventh place and currently with three matchdays to go they have a haul of 44 points: “I have been here in Prato for three years and I have worked for the youth sector and to create a football school – says Mister Ridolfi – then in January the president proposed me to take care of the first team and I thank him for his trust. Things went well and we achieved the goal of salvation well in advance. Now the fans are talking about the playoffs: it’s difficult but in the three games left to play we’ll try to do our best, then we’ll see.” Tomorrow on the fifteenth matchday of the return match Prato will face the away team Lentigion, beaten in the first leg 2 to 1: “Lentigione is a very strong team and above all in attack they have several quality players, I’m talking about Formato, Nanni, Sala and Montipò – this is Mr. Ridolfi’s analysis – we’re going to do the our game aiming for the victory which would allow us to maintain the hope of making the playoffs. On the other hand, Lentigione will also play to win and therefore I foresee an open match.” As for the lineup, the long-term patient Cela will be missing and Angeli is in doubt.
