AMATEUR FOOTBALL – Viareggio squanders the advantage it had acquired in the Promotion championship and following the home defeat suffered on Sunday against Viaccia 2-1 it was reached at the top of the table with two days to go by Pietrasanta who overcame Castelnuovo within friendly walls 1-0 thanks to the penalty converted by Mengali, his 14th win in the championship.
Meanwhile, a press blackout has been implemented by the Juventus club with a ban on the use of social media by members to speak publicly about Viareggio football. Any interviews may only be given by Alberto Reccolani, as manager of the technical area. On Sunday afternoon the Bianconeri were challenged by the Ultras at the end of the first half when they threw away the possibility of maintaining the three-point lead over Pietrasanta. During the second half of the season, the Biancocelesti recovered game after game until they reached the top of the table with the Bianconeri. At the end of the first round, Viareggio had a 15-point lead over the Biancocelesti who, with 11 wins and three draws, achieved a true miracle. Against Viaccia, Viareggio gave away the first half, so much so that they were down by two goals scored by Ferroni and Tomberli following two defensive indecisions. Brega, who took over in the second half due to physical problems, scored the goal, but despite the final effort the score remained 2-1 for the guests. Next Sunday Viareggio will be away at Maliseti Prato while Pietrasanta will be guests of Viaccia. The Bianconeri still believe in promotion, even if in addition to watching out for Pietrasanta, there is also Cerretese who follow by one point and who could act as a third wheel. On Wednesday afternoon we recover for Group A of Eccellenza, the match between Lanciotto and Castelfiorentino suspended last week, after the illness of the 26 year old footballer Mattia Giani, who unfortunately later died.
