“Il Resto del Carlino” reports an interview with the former Modena coach Walter Novellino, who ten years ago played in a playoff semi-final against Cesena: “For me it is still an open wound. We played the first leg very badly and lost undeservedly, that was our biggest regret. We were even more unlucky on the return leg at Manuzzi, if that shot from Babacar had gone in instead of hitting the crossbar it would have changed everything. If we had gone to the final, we would have devoured Latina. We played the best football in Serie B. Bisoli? He knows football well and is a good person. Everything he did he deserved, without help from anyone. He is a practical, up-to-date coach and he knows the category like few others. It’s obvious that, in the end, those who make the difference are the players. White? There were matches in the second half of the season in which things didn’t go his way and he paid for everything. Rivets? I met him, he is an extraordinary person. I’ve been wearing Stone Island for fifteen years. Few cities have remained in my heart like Modena and the public is one of the best I have ever met. Next year I will return to Braglia to watch a match.”
