Tomorrow the Bianconeri return home. Magrini would like them all in tracksuits without sending anyone to the stands
When half o’clock strikes, it still drips at the Uopini plant; the end of a cold and rainy morning. The kids go to the cars, the atmosphere is one of curiosity and relaxation, today’s work is done, the important one was finished weeks ago, tomorrow, perhaps, a different adventure will start.
Lamberto Magrini speaks to journalists with the same calm. And he tells us that, especially the players from the area, they willingly came to the new Siena FC to be able to step onto the grass of Artemio Franchi and call it home. Masini the first of them.
The grass isn’t beautiful and workers have to get into the house, though. The Prefectural Commission authorized the tender but not the future. And there is no certainty regarding President Giacomini’s minimum request… hot water. However, for tomorrow we will be satisfied; it was a battle for the new Siena to have the stadium it deserves and, after the battle, there is always something out of place. Let’s omit for a moment that it was not weapons that reduced the Franks to what they are and that instead it was neglect and bureaucracy.
The weather for tomorrow is chilly, due to the winds from the North, but which will probably clear the sky and at the time of the match – 3pm thanks to the whistle of Mr. Niccolò Monti from Florence (one of the linesmen will be Asia Giovanili from Arezzo) – there will be sun. It wouldn’t be bad, come on. Pre-sale in progress since yesterday, today and tomorrow morning will continue at the Lizza underpass; gates open from 1.45pm, 12pm for banners. The prices are: Lorenzo Guasparri Bend 10 euros, Guest Bend 15, Side Covered Grandstand 15, Central Covered Grandstand 20, Honor Covered Grandstand with hospitality snack 30.
Sienese against Sienese. Some people from Mazzola will probably find it unpleasant to see themselves locked up under the statue of the Saint, but that’s what the Regulations say. Sienese against Sienese: the three points are of no use either to those playing at home or to those who are guests, however… It is clear that if Argilli could put a scalp at the feet of the President and President, he could tell him: I made you respect them. The Pianigiani are great people, everyone asks them, but few in the end respect them as they deserve; and politics is not an alibi.
Magrini, however, has the strongest team and a thousand stimuli of all the players who want to leave their mark at Franchi, so much so that he feels sorry for whoever he will be forced to send to the stands. Magrini already has suggestions and dreams that the city likes, he would like to end the championship undefeated; a record for him, but something to remember for the city. Because football has memory, the victories, the defeats, the goals… among them certainly the end of this championship which deserves to be remembered, especially for how much we suffered and worked hard off the pitch.
Then the promotion takes you elsewhere, because the Serie D championship – the last time it took place we finished as Italian champions – is elsewhere compared to Excellence. Many things will also change for players and coaches. They ask the coach if he will stay here because it was a topic during the week. He makes a great speech whose summary seems to be the following: I’m fine here, I trust the club, a different document will have to be signed, I’m available, look, even with the boss we have to do everything again. The latter is a clear sign that they have already looked at someone for the coming year, probably someone who, young and promising, played against us this year.
At Siena Fc and its “light” organization the evenings in the district have done a great deal of good, which have been on a continuous cycle for a few weeks. It brought the kids closer to a climate, an atmosphere that they couldn’t help but like. On Thursday they were in Giraffa, beautiful Palios and beautiful women, the company has just issued a statement of thanks addressed to the honorable Gianni Mazzoni, to the vicar Anna Pasquini, to the president of the company Angela Noferi and of course all those present.
And to think that this happens after all the poisoning of wells practiced by the former owner Montanari. The comment made by him in Legnano this week after Forlì knocked Victor San Marino out of the play-offs makes us smile: “It may be bad luck, it may be simply bad luck, but certainly what Emiliano Montanari touches on a football level turns into nothing cosmic with the real risk of sporting failure around the corner.”
The club accepts Franchi’s bet tomorrow. He warns everyone that he will do everything possible, but asks them to remember that the green light to use the Rake was given two days ago. And they probably couldn’t even find the keys to all the doors and the eighty entrances to be guarded in the stadium. There will be a lot to talk about with the Municipality, the day after tomorrow: it would truly be a gesture of incredible generosity if President Giacomini wanted to accept him as he is, but his ability for finance makes us doubt it. Between Franchi and Bertoni, if they do things well, at least 4,000K are at stake.
Lastly the pitch, the coach’s idea was to rejuvenate the back, but he needed a one hundred percent Candido who instead trained little and badly to cool down. He says that he doesn’t guarantee them the ninety minutes and for this reason they will probably replay the usual ones.
The hope is that tomorrow will be a day of true sporting celebration. Enthusiasm is welcome, excessive protagonism is unwelcome. Because whoever takes possession of the Franchi is the Siena Fc club – and the whole city in its image -; everyone else does it as a welcome sequel.
