Three days before the semi-final of the play-offs to go to Excellence, Città di Avola works hard and in a concentrated manner. Nicosia will face Nicosia on Sunday in Gela, on a neutral pitch, in an inside-out match: whoever wins will go on to play in the final against the winner of Gioisa-Parmonval.
Two games to try to return to Eccellenza after a season that started well and continued better, despite the final second place in the standings behind Vittoria. Also thanks to the group forged on the pitch by coach Attilio Sirugo and by an attentive and visionary club, which has focused on the right mix of experience and youth.
“We have done well so far thanks to the empathy created between all of us – commented Pier Paolo Ruiz, midfielder of the rossoblu – from the club to the technical staff and obviously with my teammates who, before being great footballers, are proving to be great men! I’m happy with the choice I made a few months ago because I was sure that this group would live up to expectations if not more. We have a great match coming up on Sunday, we will give our all and I am confident that we will not be alone, because our fans have never left us and will give us a great boost.
Obviously I would like to thank them for everything they have done.”
“A gigantic result – added the director Giuseppe Angelica – which in August few, or rather very few, would have believed. We were behind a battleship like Vittoria, deservedly winning the group play-offs. As sporting director I can only be happy for this season but obviously once we get here, we will try with all our strength to achieve our great dream.”
