With Vogherese the gates of the “Franco Ossola” opened for the first time in the season for the Italian Cup (read here) is exactly with Vogherese (Sunday 28 April at 3.00 pm) it will also be the last home match of the championship for Varese. But coach Corrado Cotta’s boys will try to ensure that Sunday is not the last of the season in Masnago, with the playoffs which could bring a new home challenge. In fact, the red and whites will be looking for points to consolidate third place, which would mean playing at least the first of the play-offs in front of a friendly crowd. At the moment the ranking – which has already crowned Alcione champion – sees Chisola now secure in second place at 69 points, while Varese and Rg Ticino share the place at 64. In the last two races we will see who will prevail and manage to finish in front. For the red and whites, after the home match against Vogherese, there will be a trip to Gozzano to close the regular season, while the Ticino team will first host Lavagnese and then travel to Voghera.
Vitofrancesco and his teammates will have to think one race at a time to get as many points as possible. Also because Vogherese is not yet safe and will try to get a few points to have the mathematical certainty of confirming the category. He knows it well Mister Cotta, who isn’t expecting an easy match: «It will be a very open match because we will be playing against a team that can’t give us anything, on the contrary. Much will also depend on how Vogherese will try to face us, whether she will have a more open or closed attitude. The trend for us is positive and the victory over Chisola raised awareness among some players and the identity of the group. These are victories that give enthusiasm on a mental level and are messages that we want to give to ourselves but also to our fans.”
And for the occasion, Città di Varese has called all the youth teams to report, who will fill the “Franco Ossola” with their enthusiasm and will be applauded at the start of the match.
