The first match of the Serie C Super Cup pits the winner of group A against the winner of group B. Mantova, on the one hand, won a championship in which they were certainly not under the forecast, and they did so by expressing a game idea based on qualitative ball possession which then freed the dangerous offensive arrows of the Virgilians. Great credit goes to coach Possanzini, who will lead the club next year and whose future is more than promising. But Cavalluccio scored sixteen more points in the championship thanks to a cynicism and aggressiveness that rarely left its opponents a chance. There are therefore all the elements to watch an enjoyable match, trying to put a very heavy weight on winning the trophy…
