The usual Monday refrain: Varese winning brings lukewarm enthusiasm (now the season is gone) and confidence for the future, Varese not winning brings silence and dark pessimism. Without too many useless turns of words, a 0-0 home draw with a team fighting not to be relegated certainly cannot be welcomed with open arms, even more so because yesterday’s draw against Vogherese certified the “limits” of a team that struggles to be incisive against medium/low-ranking opponents as against those who sail in the medium/high areas.
Giovanni Fornitherefore, summarizes what happened as follows: “It’s the same old story, when you have to take a decisive step you can’t“. They are though few comments on red and white social media on Monday given that, as mentioned above, a non-victory for Varese leads to many silences. The discussions, if constructive, are always positive, but the feeling is that the championship is now over (the “playoffs are useless” spiel has now caught on) you don’t want to spend too much time analyzing strengths and weaknesses that have been visible for 37 games now.
If anything, the banner placed by the Curva makes more “noise”: “We are looking forward to next season, you have no excuses: we want this fucking promotion“. A message that echoes the company’s ambitions, but above all opens the doors to a return of the red and white ultras who in many matches can make the difference by giving that something extra to the team. Message implicitly echoed by Fabio Oliver’s comment: “Without investments you remain in Serie D for another twenty years“, which refers to the management’s already reiterated desire to build a team capable of conquering Serie C on the pitch.
It remains to be understood who of the current team group, a roster that has ample room for improvement if cultivated in the right way, will be able to be part of it. Mister Cotta received praise in Vinovo after the victory over Chisola and, following yesterday’s draw, he was not spared from the “usual” criticism; in defense of the coach Giovanni D’Angelo he states: “All mister“. One thing is certain, and it is no coincidence that any player continues to reiterate it: This group is really united and close-knitplayed a high-ranking championship right from the start (with some understandable ups and downs) in the season of its baptism and, inevitably, next year he will be called to consecration.
