Having secured the first point in the championship against Cavese, Cosenza has no time to stop. A result which, beyond the rankings, gave some more certainty to a group that needs time. The calendar immediately offers a new appointment with the rossoblù already projected towards the trip to Giugliano.
A midweek shift that comes at the end of an intense week. The rossoblù coach defended the group, underlining above all the attitude of his players. «Bringing home a point and a clean sheet is something very important for us and I have to thank these guys because they are extraordinary and always make themselves available». Words that tell of the coach’s satisfaction with a performance in which Cosenza showed application and a spirit of sacrifice.
Coppitelli then insisted on the attitude shown by the team. «Today we even went beyond the threshold of attention and performance. We had a very important first half and perhaps we deserved to end it with the lead.” An analysis that photographs a team capable of raising the level of its performance, at least in terms of attitude. But the coach knows well that there is still a lot to do. «It was the first week in which we worked at full capacity and some things just fall into place by trying them out».
Time, however, does not seem to be on the rossoblù’s side. The calendar immediately imposes new commitments and Cosenza also has to deal with a squad that still has obvious deficiencies. Experienced players are needed, elements capable of increasing personality and quality, but above all a striker is missing. A problem that the numbers make even more evident. After four days of the championship, Cosenza boasts the worst attack of the tournament, with just two goals scored. Nine, however, are the goals conceded. Numbers that tell of a complicated start and which make it even more urgent to intervene on the free agent market.
The team fights, runs and tries to follow the coach’s instructions, but to face a long and difficult season, alternatives and above all goals are needed. There’s another hot week on the horizon. After tomorrow’s trip to Giugliano, Saturday 19th will be championship time again, with Cosenza called to face Scafatese.
The match should still be played at the “Scida” in Crotone, waiting for the issue linked to the viability of the “Marulla” stadium to be definitively resolved. The certificate expired on August 4th and the renewal by Palazzo dei Bruzi is still awaited. A situation that inevitably continues to influence the club’s programming and its relationship with its audience.
