A month and a half of unbeaten play and a growth path that continues to show positive signs. Cosenza is traveling in line with its seasonal objective. In fact, he would still be in fifth position if there hadn’t been the penalty. Regarding this, the rossoblù filed on Thursday with the Coni Guarantee Board the double appeal against the decisions of the FIGC Federal Court of Appeal dated 21 October asking for the decision to be annulled and alternatively, in the case of acceptance with postponement, to enunciate the principle with which the referring judge must comply. The hearing will be scheduled shortly.
The draw with Modena did not unify the feelings in the square. In any case, there was no boredom at the “Marulla”. Micai and his partners started with their usual boldness, maintaining a high center of gravity. A move that often allowed Mandelli’s men to be unseated already in midfield. At times, however, the Emilians managed to evade the pressure by managing to restart quickly, driven by the quality of elements such as Caso and Palumbo. Cosenza, for its part, in some cases inflamed the fans by seeking play between the lines and in intermediate positions, which the guests were not always able to dissipate. The Modenese team, however, broke the balance at a time when the game was opening up more and more. Alvini’s rearguard went haywire thanks to Dalle Mura’s error (in the photo) who was initially attracted by Palumbo, leaving a chasm behind him. A reading error that he was unable to correct, remaining far from his position. Ricci attempted to close on Defrel but couldn’t withstand the strike from the attacker and the Frenchman returned it to the center where Cotali was ready without receiving any pressure.
In the second half, Modena’s numerical inferiority allowed them to return to attacking the front, redeeming the seventh draw of this championship (only Catanzaro has drawn more: ten times). Simone Mazzocchi was once again decisive. The Milanese attacker capitalized splendidly on Rizzo Pinna’s cross from the right to move up to two in the scorers’ table. A certainly positive note for Alvini who risks arriving with plasters in attack also for the next match since Strizzolo’s presence is in doubt while that of Zilli is probably to be excluded. To all this will be added the disqualification of Florenzi. The Sardinian was also among the most inspired in the advance, trying to score on three occasions and only missing it by centimeters on two. The 22-year-old midfielder has returned to shine, becoming a key element for the Wolves, who will have to make up for his absence.
The rossoblù team immediately returned to work to carry out the usual unloading session after Friday evening’s effort. Those who played against Modena did a lot of work in the gym and on the pitch. The others did an activation followed by an aerobic drill and then a game.
The company, meanwhile, has rallied around Tommaso D’Orazio, who in recent hours has been struck by a serious family bereavement. The group will resume training only on Tuesday since they will only be involved again on Sunday, in the away game at the Arena Garibaldi against Pisa.
