GROSSETO – Countdown to the last competitive effort of the year for Grosseto, who will host Tau Altopascio in the playoff final of group E of Serie D (archive photo by Paolo Orlando). Third against fifth therefore, with Livorno and Follonica Gavorrano beaten in the semi-finals and above all with an extraordinary finish up for grabs. For the Grifone, the decisive duel towards the C series will however be undermined by the recent decisions of the sporting justice system, which in addition to the fine of 1400 euros for the use of pyrotechnic material by its supporters was penalized by the disqualification for seven days to the detriment of the coach Roberto Malotti for protests and offensive expressions.
“The Tau? He has put almost all the teams he has faced in difficulty – said the coach from Grosseto – he is strong, he has ambition, with a past not like that of Grosseto but an important one, which can continue to speak volumes about him. Having said this, Grosseto cannot and must not stop at this. I hear that tomorrow’s match is useless but I’m against it, it could mark the end of a year in one way or another for many important reasons and we shouldn’t pass it off as an end-of-year match. It’s a final that sees our colors involved and must absolutely show the potential of this team which more than ever must end up out, otherwise something has been wrong.”
Raffaelli, Sclano, Grasso, Macchi, Morelli, Porcu, Russo, Saio, Bensaja, Cretella, Sabelli, Sacchini, Violante, Fregoli, Giustarini, Marzierli, Nocciolini, Riccobono, Rinaldini and Romairone have been summoned. Prati absent due to disqualification.
The kick-off is tomorrow Sunday at 8.30pm at the Carlo Zecchini in Grosseto.
