Fifth defeat in seven games and Crotone is now also in the wake. After the summer earthquake, life is decidedly hard in the forest. For Coppitelli’s group, in these conditions, saving their skin will not be easy. On paper he is a Wolf but this Cosenza has taken on the capacity of a crocodile, capable of remaining without food and water for a very long time. The trip to Bari, as expected on the eve of the bookmakers, extended the lack of victories. Against the Apulians, who did not impress, the Bruzio collective did what they could: three weak shots on goal and the same number off target. However, he didn’t have the strength to react to Maggiore’s goal in the first third of the second half. They now enter the key phase of the first round with the need for points and a couple of reinforcements. But for the latter, perhaps the greatest feat must be accomplished: convincing the Via Conforti board to raise money.
