When you have the chance to make history, there should be no ranking or thought that matters. Modena hasn’t won in Reggio for over 70 years (the last victory dates back to 15 October 1950, the yellow-blues won 2-1) and Bisoli seems to want to take an overly ambitious chance in these last three days of the championship.
The way in which the Canarian coach often underlined that, in the event of positive results for Modena coming from the 3pm matches, did not go unnoticed, well, winning in Reggio Emilia would also mean launching forward and playing everything with Como and Lecco. We say this because in his eyes and words, Bisoli is almost unable to hide it. It’s the fault (or merit) of his genuineness which influenced everyone in just ten days and having removed the weight of the success that had been missing for 12 days may have somehow loosened Modena, or at least this is the hope of those who lead it.
Returning to the derby, over 2,800 people from Modena will be away despite the public holiday. Synonymous with the fact that a certain enthusiasm has once again been created around the yellows and the memory of the latest clashes with the grenade will push many to leave home with a smile to reach the stadium. Bozhanaj’s masterpiece of the first leg, the Diana-Tesser duel, the D playoff with Malverti on the bench and Ferrario scoring from every position. To stay with very recent history.
It will be Bisoli’s turn to write another one. With a Modena team which, from the point of view of the formation that will take the field, will be very close to that seen with Ascoli and Sudtirol, therefore with the confirmation of what is considered the backbone that is Gagno, Zaro, Pergreffi, Santoro and Palumbo in the spine.
In attack, Abiuso will probably be the starting forward, due to his freshness and perhaps because he could feel the derby particularly, as a native of Modena. Next to him are Gliozzi and Strizzolo but the relay is ready. Riccio isn’t doing very well, Magnino’s performance in the full-back role convinced Bisoli and it wouldn’t be strange to see him there again, ditto Corrado in the double role of interior (in the defensive phase) and high winger (in the possession phase), a move that caused concern Sudtirol who, among other things, play with the same formation as Reggiana (3-4-2-1). Despite the disappointment of a championship thrown to the winds between February and April, there is still time to make history. And it is no coincidence that the possibility arrives on the most awaited day, on the most heartfelt day, in which football embraces all feelings. Of those who get into the car with friends and relatives and travel that half hour to cross the Secchia and hope it will be the best day to remember.
