Reggina prepares for the away match in Modica and tries to ally itself with the ghosts of the past. The two shows of strength in the debut matches in the Italian Cup and the championship (12 goals scored and 0 conceded) sent clear messages, but the competition for winning the championship remains fierce. In some cases even in declarations and it is right that this is the case. However, the feeling is that the three years without leaving amateurism have removed some of the awe towards the amaranth coat of arms. If this were the first year of D of the Strait formation there would probably be greater consideration of the strength of a squad that seems to have no weak points and not even an opponent with a squad comparable in quality and abundance to that at Marchionni’s disposal.
Having many challengers convinced of their abilities can become an additional incentive for Reggina who have the obligation to demonstrate their superiority on the field and also that this year the story will be different compared to previous seasons. Any outcome other than winning the tournament will be a failure. Reggina 2026-2027, however, has players of a higher category or who are used to winning the D, which is why they will hardly suffer the pressure.
The significantly better start compared to the last three years was the first symptom that something has changed. The difficulty will be to continue in this vein, even on less stimulating pitches than the Granillo, perhaps on small and uneven pitches, against opponents who will work overtime to stop the Amaranths. The next championship match already has all the characteristics to be considered a reliable test, considering that it will be the first away from Reggio. The newly promoted Modica approaches the challenge with nothing to lose. The atmosphere in the stands will be festive, the Sicilian club has also scheduled the appointment with the “Rossoblù Day”. There are only 254 coupons available to Amaranth supporters
The team is working at Sant’Agata. The doubts concern players like Porcino, Franchini and Guida who have been struggling with physical problems.
