PERUGIA – It went as it was supposed to. Group B of Serie C was served on a silver platter with all the predictions right, including Campobasso promoted from Serie D because it was further north than Latina (although not in terms of kilometers from almost all the other cities in the group) and with the only wait being to find out who would be the second team of an Serie A club between Milan, Juventus and Atalanta Under 23.
All as expected, see the three-way derby with Gubbio, Perugia and Ternana finding themselves at a long distance, recalling the only precedent of the 1987-1988 season when the rossoblùs who had just returned to the professional ranks after forty found themselves together in group C of the C2 years and led by Giampaolo Landi (they finished in fourth place), Mario Colautti’s Grifoni who won and rose to C1 together with Casarano and the Fere who finished in fourteenth with first Mario Facco and then Corrado Viciani on the bench.
The last time instead of an all-Umbrian hat-trick in the same professional championship, in Lega Pro, dates back to 2008-2009 when with Perugia and Ternana they found themselves with Foligno. Here is the group: Arezzo, Ascoli, Campobasso, Carpi, Gubbio, Legnago Salus, Lucchese, Milan Futuro, Perugia, Pescara, Pianese, Pineto, Pontedera, Rimini, Sestri Levante, Spal, Ternana, Torres, Virtus Entella, Vis Pesaro.
The big news, inserted by drawing, is Milan Futuro, as the Rossoneri team entrusted to the former Rossoneri defender Daniele Bonera, assistant to Stefano Pioli, has been named (Juventus Next Gen from group B ended up in C, while Atalanta remained in group A). There are also the Tuscans of Pianese promoted from D and Legnano is down from group A while from B, in addition to Fere, there is also another noble fallen team like Ascoli.
For the calendar appointment postponed most likely to mid-July. will start on Sunday 25 August, with possible advances on Friday 23 and Saturday 24. Three midweek rounds are scheduled on dates to be established and a break, Sunday 29 December, for the Christmas holidays. The last of the regular season will be played on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 April. Then in May the Super Cup, playoffs and playouts, with a calendar to be made official.
