We can’t beat this. If anything we equal it. The record of points won in Serie C by Catanzaro last season, set at 96 points, can be equaled by Cesena if they beat Perugia next Sunday. The declared objective was to conquer yet another peak of an extraordinary season and that is to win in Sassari too to aim for 98.
Torres did not collaborate and with Greco’s valid team also the referee and luck. Patience, we’ll have to be satisfied, also because Cesena has now collected a lot of records in the 2023/24 edition and objectively this was the least rewarding.
The race in Sardinia consolidated some evaluations, some positive, others not. The first is the obvious technical superiority that emerged and was recognized at the end of the match by the same Sardinian coach, the only one not to lose to this Cesena.
The Bianconeri vigorously sought victory, with clever moves, quick triangulations and important opportunities. Despite the absence of the main striker, Cristian Shpendi was forced to give up his personal goal, the hunt for the record of goals scored by Dario Hubner (22). The Albanian boy would have made false cards just to be on the pitch, if he marked a visit it means that the knee ailment is more serious than initially thought.
A post hit by the explosive Berti in this final phase of the championship and after Silvestri’s header masterfully deflected by Zaccagno onto the crossbar, the recriminations over the lack of victory increase.
But what is really sensational is the failure to award two solar penalties. Kargbo was clearly yanked in the area and Dametto’s handball following a shot from Ogunseye was clear.
It’s incredible how the team that spent most of its competitive time in the opposing areas, the team that killed the championship with a perfect path (just look at the scores of the other two winners of their respective groups, Mantova today has 79 points , Juve Stabia 76 against Cesena’s 93) had only one penalty in their favor.
No one doubts the good faith of the referees, but the appearance is absolutely extraordinary. We all remember the mass of penalties awarded to Modena two seasons ago and also those to Reggiana last year. They were an important help in the race for promotion of the two league leaders. Cesena no. He had to score the goals himself and luckily the goal cooperative worked wonderfully, otherwise we would still be here thinking about the playoff lottery.
The happy notes are the Juventus boys, the explosive and cheerful technical and mental superiority of Tommy Berti, the strength and dynamism of Francesconi.
For once Pieraccini was less brilliant than usual, on that side ran Zecca who in Cesena we don’t remember as the most effective of the laterals and who instead found his full verve and vigor in Sardinia.
The championship is about to end and now the ideas are clear on who will stay and who will have to go. Starting with the technical management, a decision that will give rise to arrivals and departures.
