The first ninety minutes of passion to keep the dream of returning to Serie B alive take place this evening. Cosenza receives Casarano who, like a naughty student, has already banged his fists on the bench in Sunday’s derby against Monopoli. The people of Salento have nothing to lose and want to try to overturn the verdict of the championship by attacking a “Marulla” who will still remain cold. Buscè’s group must be prepared, resisting the opposing offensives to maintain a strong fort that has resisted for four months now.
The name of the opponent changes little for the Neapolitan coach: «The four that could have happened to us showed their characteristics amply during the championship. Casarano finished the regular phase on the rise and with great enthusiasm, so their victory against Monopoli did not surprise me. They have expert players, among which Chiricò stands out, among the most successful in Serie C and returning from a season in which he overperformed. Cosenza must play their game, remaining focused. I don’t like clinging to the possibility of a double outcome. We need a team mentalized for victory. And I have to say that it’s something that hasn’t been talked about at all because we want to put on a great performance.”
The coach has various solutions, with the exception of the defensive department. In the back block there will be no Dametto, who has not yet fully recovered after the resentment felt with Trapani. Therefore, Caporale will join Moretti while Ferrara will be reconfirmed on the left lane. Only one between Baez, Emmausso and Ba will be part of the starting eleven. The former seems to be favored. If the Senegalese wins, one of Ciotti or Cannavò will play high on the right (the other will preside over the low lane). Mazzocchi ahead of Beretta. Sure of a place instead Florenzi.
Kourfalidis will also be included in the list of players called up, which will only be released mid-morning. The Greek has worked regularly with the group and will be back on the bench.
