An afternoon that smells of waiting and curiosity. On Sunday, at 6 pm, Crotone will live its first seasonal trip, on the field of the “Tonino d’Angelo” in Altamura. A challenge that, beyond the three points up for grabs, represents an important emotional passage for both teams: the rossoblù want to get up after the mockery of the debut, while the red and white dream of writing a historic page in front of their audience. The Altamura team reaches the home debut with the weight of two defeats on the shoulders. First the elimination in the Italian Cup of Serie C at “Capozza” against Casarano, then the false step on the Casertana field. Two falls that have not turned off the enthusiasm of the square, convinced that the hand of the new technician Devis Mangia is already being glimpsed: intensity, game plots and offensive courage.
It will be a day of celebration for the Murgians, but also a test bench for the Crotone of Emilio Longo, who after the disappointment against Benevento does not want to waste time chasing. At the “Scida” the Pythagoreans showed two faces: a shy start and full of errors that complicated the evening, followed by an intense recovery, capable of inflaming the fans and returning pride. From there it is necessary to start again, with the awareness that in Serie C each trip is an adventure in which character and attention are worth as much as the technical quality.
In Altamura it will be the meeting between two realities that seek immediate answers, between an audience that dreams of pushing their darlings towards the first joy and a team, Crotone, who wants to demonstrate that he has the strength to react. Because the beginning of a championship does not lose hesitation.
