In that Cesena that conquered the top flight with Pierpaolo Bisoli (2009-10 season), striker Cristian Bucchi, now coach, stood out among the ranks of the Bianconeri and has come a long way in Serie B between Ascoli, Benevento, Empoli and Perugia . Now Cesena has also regained Serie B. D’Aversa will be on the bench (the official announcement is expected on Tuesday). And the fans can’t wait for the season to start. The season ticket quota is already at 1,787 cards.
Bucchi, Cesena changes technical leadership and tactical approach, should we expect many changes in the squad?
“It’s not a given, I would start from a system that the team knows very well given that it has done so well in the last two seasons.”
Is it better to start again based on the three-man defence?
“I believe that the coach who arrives will want to bring his ideas, his concepts and little by little perhaps make sure that they become the basis, but at least at the beginning I don’t think there will be a revolution, perhaps a gradual change.”
However, some players are needed, as they say in the category…
“That certainly, but I think there is a solid basis: I’m talking about Prestia, Silvestri, Ciofi, Adamo, Donnarumma, Kargbo who has already known the B team and has performed well, then there are two young players like Francesconi and Berti who In my opinion they fit very well.”
Speaking of young people, you mentioned Pieraccini and Shpendi more, in your opinion are they all ready?
“I think so, obviously taking into account the technical and physical growth they may have. In C they were not extras, but protagonists, of course we will then have to see whether, for example, Cristian Shpendi will remain or not”.
However, Serie B reserves other difficulties, just to mention one it is a very long championship…
“Of course and the fundamental thing in this category is to be a team; I mean to have a compact, solid group because there are many midweek rounds and in fifteen days you can play four games, if you score ten points maybe you’re in the playoff zone if instead you stop at four sixes in the playout zone.” In short, Serie B is worth seeing as the championship where uncertainty reigns…
“Yes because sometimes we see that the first team loses against the last one but it’s not so strange because this is Serie B, with a few days to go we see teams that seem calm then risk ending up in the playouts, because if we look closely we often see teams between the zone top and bottom of the ranking there are only five or six points.”
Cesena has the warmth of its support on its side.
“That is also worth fifteen points. In Cesena there is a magnificent stadium, even in Palermo or Bari there are many fans but you have them far away, in Cresena the fans are practically on the pitch with the team, that is the warmth of a people who supports Juventus”.
Cristian Bucchi is in the running to replace Alessandro Nesta on the Reggiana bench, who knows if he could become an opponent of Cesena in the next Serie B championship.
