L’Avellino was beaten (deservedly) by Massimino in the first leg of the playoff quarter-finals against Catania. A defeat that has already sparked controversy, the anger of the fans, who have already attacked the players, the coach, the club. Constructive criticism is right and serves as a lesson to the team, but now more than ever we need to stay close to the team and the environment must be one.

Nothing is lost, on the contrary. Avellino lost the advantage of two results out of three, but at Partenio, in the 90th minute, with any victory, Avellino will be qualified for the semi-finals. Obviously, the only certainty is one. Beat Catania on Saturday evening.

The comeback is possible, also because a victory with a one-goal difference is enough, even replicating the 1-0, to qualify, being seeded compared to the Etna team. You have to stay clear and not lose your head. As long as there is a different Avellino than the one seen last night in the former Cibali.

Avellino has already overturned an unfavorable result from the first leg four times in the history of the playoffs. Obviously, more playoffs, but the substance doesn’t change. And two out of 4 previous matches are with Sicilian teams.

The first precedent dates back to 1995, playoff semi-final with the Syracuse. It ended 2-1 for the Sicilians who found themselves at 2-0 (Scaringella, LoGarzo). It was Fresta who gave the wolves the 2-1 on Sicilian soil. Fresta himself then scored the decisive goal at Partenio, the return match, the 1.0 that took the Wolves to the playoff final, which they then won against Gualdo on penalties.

Let’s move on to 2007. In this edition of the playoffs, Avellino overturned the initial disadvantage twice. It happened in the semi-final and final. In the semi-final Wolves defeated 1-0 Taranto (goal by Zito). In the return leg, Avellino overturned by winning 1-0, a goal from bum bum Moretti from a free kick which gave the final to the Wolves. And in the final one, with the Foggiasimilar situation.

At the Zaccheria stadium, Satanelli victorious 1-0, goal by Salgado. In the final, 0-0 until the 90th minute which would have given Serie B to Foggia, then Rivaldo’s famous left-footed shot gave the 1-0 goal to the Wolves, who dragged the match into extra time where thanks to two kicks penalty (Biancolino and Evacuo), Avellino took a 3-0 lead and won the final, landing in Serie B.

And finally in the 2020-21 season, challenge the Palermo. In the first leg at Barbera, Floriano scored from a penalty in the 87th minute. On the return leg, three days later, the green and white won 1-0, with a goal from Sonny D’Angelo and Avellino who went through and reached the quarter-finals where they then faced Sudtirol.
