Chronicle of an announced disaster (for years), the 354 days that have destroyed Cosenza and Tutino: from the seal of the city to the “tombstone” seal

Centuries seem to have passed, yet – of days – just 354 have passed. That is, less than a year, since Gennaro Tutinoin a jacket and tie, showing off his best outfit, crossed Palazzo dei Bruzi visibly excited, ready to receive one of the highest civic honors that can exist: the Seal of the city. A way to celebrate its football enterprises by Crati as well as a shameless Capitatio Benevolentiae towards whom of all, after Gigi Marullait was (the verb that recalls at a past time is not used at random …) entered the heart of the Cosenza fans. An institutional and at the same time emotional (and exciting) ceremony, complete with openings by the player to his stay and the intention manifested clearly by the property of wanting to try to keep Tutino: “We are working for this,” said the patron of Cosenza, Eugenio Guarascioat the request of the mayor Franz Caruso. Smiles, applause, handshakes but above all very little awareness of what was actually happening: after a sensational season of Tutino (never a rossoblù striker had stood at 20 goals in a Serie B championship) it would have been practically impossible to hold him back in front of the sirens of the great clubs, despite the declarations of circumstance (probably dictated by considering impossible, knowing Guaascio, a redemption). Here you are, The last glimmer of happiness of the rossoblù people is identifiable on that May 14 a year agowith a salvation conquered without thinking like the other years and the prospect of having changed status after six years of suffering. With one more tutino in the engine.

Where are broken dreams throw off?

As I would say Nuclear tactical penguins: “Where that broken dreams are thrown away?” And the dream of the rossoblù people lasted the time of a market session in which, net of the temporary redemption of Tutino, two aspects were immediately clear: Gennaro would have been only in passing a player “all” rossoblù; The money earned with the sale (multi -seated) would not have served to puncture the Cosenza market. To feed, immediately, the frustration, then came the blow of the penalty: an arithmetic burden (4 points less in a championship like B, for a team that must save itself is more than a half condemnation for relegation), but above all psychological, which remained stuck on the rossoblù of Alvini I, Tortelli-Belmonte and Alvini IIup to De profundis of the match against Sudtirol which represented the tombstone. Between the start with handicap and the inglorious end, there would be many others to say: from the bad attempt to gnaw something to the sporting justice bodies, to the sensational resignation of the Dg Peppe Ursino () on the eve of a derby against Catanzaro!), To the admissions of President Guarascio on the possible transfer (never supported by a real opening attitude by the patron of wanting to cease chicchessia), to the choice of making an insufficient winter market despite the last place in the standings in January. Not to mention the embarrassing treatments reserved for the youth sector and to the women’s football team, the choice to ban the comments under any social communication of the club, the quarrels with the stewards and the Municipality (back in vogue only now, but had been dragged for years), of the silent but inexorable depletion of the park collaborators of the club, of the doctor’s rise Rita Scalise to the single administrator of the club, etc. etc. The enthusiasm released since that May 14 of last year has been scientifically disassembled, piece by piece, until the last atom is also annihilated. There is only the pride of a fans who would follow Cosenza also in the third category, the rest is a large Magone like this, which for months has been enveloping and dominates those who have the wolf tattooed in the soul.

There are those who do not pass it better

And Tutino? Having changed air did not help him. On the contrary. Also thanks to a serious injury, the Neapolitan striker has not been able to affect the season of one at all Sampdoria culminating with a sensational relegation to C: the first of its history. A disaster, if we consider the initial perspectives, with the blucerchiati who promised disheveled.

Yet another own goal (perhaps) on the road to the sale

A complete disaster, for everyone. The novelty of these hours is the farewell letter – but with the patron Guarascio there are no certainties – which announced the imminence of the closure of the club transfer negotiation. A decidedly late step, which makes even more harm, but perhaps can revive that enthusiasm of a heartbroken square, destroyed and humiliated like never before in the last year. And also in the communication of leave, Guarascio managed to commit a sensational own goal: what was to be an assumption of responsibility has turned into a list of the “wonders” carried out also this year – yes, this year too! – from the property, almost like wanting to be commissioned. Almost like meant: “I tried all my heart, but it went badly.” Here you are, On this you can not bluff. Because if Guarascio really put heart and passion during his management, it was so discreet that nobody realized it.
