THE EAGLE. «Excuse me, who made a stand?» asked the accountant Fantozzi after breaking a window with his fist, being in turn “hit by McKinley”. The scene, taken from the Second Tragic Fantozzi, which immediately became iconic, represents all the eagerness of the average Italian, if put in the position of not being able to watch a match that he cares about very much. And in L’Aquila, on Sunday, there will be a lot of anticipation, with thousands of fans left out after the 215 tickets made available for the trip to Termoli were pulverized yesterday within twenty minutes. And if there are no attacks on the windows of houses in order to at least know who “made a stake”, it will only be because everyone will be able to follow the live broadcast on TV on Rete8.
And while L’Aquila supporters without tickets, come what may, will all be glued to their TV screens on Sunday, a message for them arrives in the meantime from midfielder Federico Angiulli, someone who knows a lot about posts, having already hit five this season, of which one against Termoli in the first match. «It’s sad not to have them near Termoli too, but unfortunately the capacity of the plant doesn’t allow it. In the city we always feel their affection, so I know how much they wanted to be there and how many will follow us from home. We can only say that we will do our best to try to give a dream to these people who have suffered so much in recent years”, says the rossoblù midfielder. «Our goal now is 70 points, so two victories. Only then will we be able to afford to look towards Campobasso.” Federico Angiulli, however, expects a Termoli «different from the first match, when he was last in the standings and discouraged. On Sunday they will play for survival and they are healthy, so I expect them to be aggressive on their pitch. But we will try to bring it home also with the strength of the enthusiasm we have at the moment”, the extra weapon capable of making the difference according to the number 6 from L’Aquila.
Rossoblù who in the meantime are trying to recover at least one of the injured Giuliodori and Origlio.
