It is not only the crux of this championship, but perhaps of Platek’s entire experience as owners of Spezia. Salvation in this troubled Serie B championship could be a new beginning for the American owners, who have not spared investments and planning since their arrival on the shores of the Gulf of Poets, starting from having resolved the decades-old problem of the Picco stadium, but which on a technical level they lost Serie A and still risk a double slip.
Maintaining the category would be the beginning of a re-foundation, also for a contractual issue. With salvation, the automatic one-year renewal of the agreement with would first of all be triggered Luca D’Angelo and his staff. The Abruzzo native turned the average points eagle, gave identity to the team and got the best he could from the January transfer market, which was done with the team in the bottom of the table.
Maintaining the category would also trigger confirmations Vignali and Mateju from Como and Palermo. Two that well represent the type of attitude that has allowed us to create a path to fifteenth place, unthinkable just two months ago. The Czech full-back put in a very solid performance against his former team, perhaps his best since he was an eagle.
There is no automaticity, but it is more than likely confirmed, even for Nagy in the case of Serie B. The price at which he can be picked up from Pisa is not out of reach and the feeling with D’Angelo is clear. The situation is different for Jureskin, which remained a mysterious object also after the operation carried out last autumn. And then there is Jagiello, which is a dry loan but on which the opinions of the technical sector are excellent, beyond the physical problems of this period. For Di Serio and Kouda confirmation of the cadettry is a career boost sought and deserved.
Many destinies intersect in the 180 minutes to be played against Cosenza and Venezia, without too many calculations. We only need points, as many as possible, to then be able to say we have emerged from the vortex that leads ever lower. The cycle that began in 2008 with Gabriele Volpi probably ended with the play-off in Reggio Emilia. Starting one over from the second series instead of the third would make all the difference in the world.
