It’s not a championship eve like the others that precedes Reggina-Savoia. The ranking says so. This is revealed by the presale data more than twenty-four hours after kick-off: we are already approaching 6000 attendances at the “Granillo” with the seasonal audience record wavering (6510 spectators against Milazzo).
The Curva Sud will stage a choreography for the teams’ entry onto the pitch and has asked fans to pack the sector at least forty minutes before kick-off. There will also be a large representation of supporters from Campania, ready for a long trip to support their colors in a challenge that could be crucial for the continuation of the championship.
“Let’s go to Reggio Calabria with respect,” wrote Savoia president Nazario Matachione in a message published on the club’s social pages. «Reggio Calabria – he added – is not an enemy. It’s a Southern city like ours. A city that has experienced great football and that today, like many southern cities, pays the price for a system that often does not forgive. My respect goes to them, because only those who fall truly know what it means to get up. I want – he continued – Torre Annunziata to win before even taking the field. Win by demonstrating maturity. Win with behavior.”
Tomorrow at 2.30pm it will be the teams’ turn to honor the frame. Reggina must follow up on their nine consecutive victories. Torrisi has fielded thirteen different teams in his many matches at the helm of the Amaranths. A choice that never took away the team’s identity, involved all the players and showed a certain chameleonism in their attitude.
From tomorrow the coach could have over thirty players available and unpredictability could become an even more important asset for Reggina. Starting from the possibility of being able to exploit multiple unders in different positions and in a way that suits your race plan.
In addition to goalkeeper Lagonigro (born in 2006), there is the possibility of deploying young players in all defense roles with Lanzillotta, Fanari, Rosario Girasole, Desiato, Distratto and Fomete. At Gelbison, however, it was an opportunity to note the possibility of counting on Palumbo (2005) as a winger and Macrì (2008) in midfield.
It will be Alfio Torrisi’s press conference, scheduled for this morning at 12, to clarify which returns will be available among those hypothesized with respect to the last championship match, namely Verduci, Bevilacqua, Di Grazia and perhaps Porcino.
The coach will speak immediately after the final round behind closed doors which will take place at 10am. In the afternoon the players called up will arrive and the first choices will be seen.
