Serie B passes again from May 1st. In 2006 Antonio Soda’s extraordinary troop wrote one of the most exciting pages of eagle life, bringing the white colors back to the cadetteria after 55 years of Purgatory in Serie C, now history repeats itself with D’Angelo’s Aquilotti called to write another fundamental page of La Spezia, confirming a category that is pure oxygen for the entire province. Despite the huge differences between the two teams – Soda’s was amazing, the current one has very evident limitations – now, as then, a feat will be needed, fighting against everything and everyone, putting the classic heart beyond the obstacle that has always been , an extra weapon in the eagle house. More or less in these times, on March 26, 2006, fans and clubs rebelled against refereeing errors that resulted in the defeat of the whites in Novara. Nobody in the Spezia house lowered their heads, but thanks to the incredible support of the white people – people even took to the streets to be able to play the derby with Genoa at the ‘Picco’ -, Guidetti & C. did the feat, arriving at beat the Grifoni, and then conquer the cadetship in Padua on May 1st. This is how Wednesday will have to be, without ifs or buts, in search of what now seems impossible but which can become probable if we have the strength to remain united and compact. D’Angelo understood this well when commenting on the very delicate position his team finds itself in, he appealed to the strength of the ‘Picco’: “The situation is difficult to decipher, the ranking is very particular, we will have to try to win against Palermo to get us out. We have seen some limitations, the ranking is not easy, but we can save the team.
On Wednesday, everyone’s help will be needed: the players and the people of Spezia”. On the pitch the 8000 of the ‘Picco’ will not be able to direct the ball into the net, but they will have the possibility of creating the optimal conditions for this to happen. In 2006 Spezia sublimated the hundred years of life with the promotion to Serie B, this year there will be one more reason to confirm the cadettery, that is the celebrations of the eightieth anniversary of the historic championship of 1944. Banned, therefore, defeatism as an end in itself , but only heart and trust. The white club has already opened the presale for tomorrow afternoon’s match: online it is possible to purchase tickets for the corners, the steps and the grandstand only if you have an Eagle card (the Door option is valid a friend), while those who do not have one and are resident in the province of Spezia and Massa Carrara can still purchase tickets by going to the ‘Picco’ ticket office, open today from 4pm to 7pm and tomorrow until the start of the race.
From a technical point of view, D’Angelo could mirror Palermo by confirming the 3-5-2 or return to 3-4-2-1, with Verde, Di Serio and Falcinelli on the pitch, Elia (who left early in Brescia only because tired, no injuries), Nagy, Salvatore Esposito and Vignali in midfield, Mateju, Hristov and Nikolaou in defense. Out Crespi, Muhl and Cassata. In Palermo the probable absences of Vasic, Di Mariano, Coulibaly and Aurelio.
Primavera striker Riccardo Di Giorgio, born in 2005, signed his first professional contract with Spezia yesterday. The strong striker from La Spezia, scorer of 19 goals in 25 appearances in the team coached by Beppe Vecchio, has joined the white club until June 2026.
