Four punches in the first twenty minutes and Campobasso accomplishes the feat of feats: it wins the Amateur championship which aren’t amateurs since we’re talking about teams that are already fully professional.
It’s a the wolves achieved a huge victory in Grosseto in the final against Trapani. Huge because it is worth first place overall among the 168 Serie D teams; huge because, in business football at all costs, a tricolor sports title is worth more than all the money in the world and is something beautiful and important; enormous because it will contribute to increasing the interest of Italian football in President Rizzetta’s club and of the people of Molise in the team of the regional capital. It will be even more gratifying to see the Selvaviana stands filled in the first championship of the comeback after the Gesué flop.
There has never been a match at the ‘Carlo Zecchini’ stadium. Campobasso was too concentrated and crashed against Trapani who evidently gave in suddenly on a mental level, also thanks to the party around the city with the open-top bus and the Elettra Lamborghini concert the other evening.
No, Trapani wasn’t there today but this cannot and must not diminish the feat of the rossoblù, on the contrary, the team that belonged to Pergolizzi (who today deserves a final big round of applause for the group he was able to create) demonstrated to be an example of seriousness for the sporting values that he continued to express even after winning the championship.
The strikers Romero and Di Nardo put their hats on a match that will remain in the history of Molise football. Rasi scored the other goal in the first half. This is the starting eleven: Esposito, Bonacchi, Gonzales, Pontillo, Rasi, Abonckelet, Rasi, Lombari, Di Nardo, Maldonado, Romero. Coach Giovanni Piccirilli, congratulations to him too, who from tomorrow will start thinking about his new adventure with the Wolves’ Primavera 4.
The wolf season is fantastic, there are no other adjectives to describe it. There will be many who will leave now, because today’s football is cruel, a continuous rotation of players in the name of often precarious economic balances. What is certain is that all those who played this year have earned their professionalism with commitment and seriousness. Everyone deserves the C series.
The fans, who were commendable and numerous today too, can still rejoice and dream. They will do it knowing they are champions of Italy, just like the players. The scudetto is worth this satisfaction and much more because today it was also Sport that triumphed with the Wolves!
