Free day today for the epaulette troop, after two days of open-door sessions. The good news for Di Carlo had already arrived 24 hours ago, with captain Mirco Antenucci returning to the group at full capacity.
The Biancazzurri leader and veteran, after missing the matches in Chiavari against Entella and at home against Pineto, thus witnessing as an interested spectator two victories that put an end to the question of survival for the Biancazzurri, is ready to return to the pitch Sunday evening in Olbia, to put his stamp on the championship and end on a high note, perhaps with a decisive goal. Starter or match in progress, little changes; what matters is that Ante7 will be in the game after a difficult season, which began with the winning goal against Vis Pesaro and then became difficult to the point of fearing for remaining in Serie C.
He, who for Ferrara had said no in the summer to re-confirmation in Bari, would never have been able to agree to sign a two-year contract with Spal and be guilty of a relegation from C to the amateurs. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case, and Mirco also did his part, on and off the pitch, with his class, gritting his teeth and also acting as the leader in the locker room, at a time when his more advanced teammates had to be ‘ridden’. form, Zilli and Petrovic.
It may have been fear, perhaps relief for having escaped the danger, but there is no doubt that in these days the atmosphere even among the fans is different, because Mimmo Di Carlo’s troops have really scraped the bottom of the barrel to avoid the shame of a falling among the amateurs or in any case ending up playing it all in a playout, and the people gave them credit for it, with almost ten thousand in the stands against Pineto and the celebration under the curve at the final whistle.
We will have to start from here to plan a future season, hopefully with better ambitions and above all more serenity.
Bassoli should also be there towards Olbia, who has worked hard to get back into the group and who could, who knows, even play a few minutes. He, who in all respects should be considered a fixed point to be kept also from a future perspective.
Away game, the one on Sardinian soil, in which the biancazzurri will have to find the motivation to do well on their own: from the objective of bringing their consecutive victories to four, to end the season in eleventh place, to that of continuing to keep a clean sheet , as has been happening for several weeks. All foundations on which the team of the future will be built.
With Di Carlo at the helm? The next few days will also clarify this aspect.
