The first match ball arrives. It turns out that we are still in March, when apparently one life could still be missing. But no, three points are missing. Three points is a win. Like the one that could arrive tomorrow afternoon within the overflowing walls of the Orogel Stadium Dino Manuzzi, when the visiting Pescara will represent the last possible obstacle towards the elevator to the upper floor. Which is not yet the attic, but which still guarantees a truly excellent view. That of the B series.
The best goal for the Bianconeri thus arrived last night in Gubbio, when in the 61st minute Bernardotto pierced the Sardinian defense, without anyone managing to remedy the situation in the last half hour.
In any case, the task was not easy, because to keep alive the hopes of grabbing a now unattainable first place, even a draw would not have been enough for Torres.
And now, even mathematics, the last one left in the field, is on the verge of giving up.
Cesena still has 5 games to play, compared to the 4 remaining for the islanders. And tomorrow afternoon he will start from the current plus 11 in the standings: 83 points against 72.
If he wins, the gap flies to 14, which with 12 points up for grabs cannot be closed even by messing with the calculator.
However, a draw would not be enough, because it would only move the bar by one notch, stretching the elastic to 12 points, which on paper (really only on that) could be filled if from now until the end the Romagna players lost them all and the Sardinians always won , also rejoicing in the direct clash scheduled in Sassari on April 21st.
But it’s not straws that we’re talking about here today. Today we talk about when you come out of the last corner, with the wind caressing you, the public pushing you and your legs going on their own. Today we talk about when no matter who the others are, there is none for anyone. Today we’re talking about a big party to organize. Tomorrow, everyone at the stadium.
