Messina’s staff needs reinforcements, it is now clear: the recent performance of the team, from the away match against Sambiase onwards, has witnessed a physiological decline after the long run-up without preparation and with a hastily assembled squad on the eve of the start of the championship. The current corporate situation, however, does not facilitate the inclusion of new profiles. ️ The first reason is determined by the desire to find players who are ready on an athletic level and can be used immediately. But above all, the delays in the definitive transfer of the sports title and the business unit from the old to the new Acr are slowing things down. Beyond the fully collaborative relationships between curatorship and new ownership, the mechanisms within which the management is forced to move are anything but streamlined. There are constraints to be respected within the provisional exercise which would not allow the Racing City Group to operate fully.️
Also for this reason, against Vibonese, the last members, Giangregorio and Ruffino, were not included in the list, awaiting authorization from the Court for their contracts. There is a defined path to follow, with precise guidelines which, however, risk losing some opportunities to improve the roster. It is clear that the sooner we get out of this condition the better it will be for everyone, also so as not to nullify the good things done so far.
In the meantime, we start again from the point obtained on Sunday at the “Franco Scoglio”. Which bears the signature of Francesco Saverino, already a protagonist in the success against Favara, always as a substitute: «An important goal – the midfielder defined it -, because in any case it gets us a point, so we move the table. We know we could have brought it home, but this is football. Sometimes you score in the last minutes and win, sometimes you concede goals and draw» Insertion into space and precise conclusion for the former Sant’Agata player: «Maisano was also good at finding me and therefore we concluded the action well. It must be said that they, however, are a really good team, they played, created opportunities, so in the end I think the draw was fair.” Two tough challenges on the horizon such as Gelbison or Savoia: «We meet the top of the class, so you can pay for the slightest mistake. We must try to stay focused and play the games, also because we scored 17 points on the pitch. Less brilliant athletic condition? The team certainly dropped a bit in the second half, the pitch had an impact, but I think it was also tough for our opponents. We don’t think about Vibonese anymore, we’ll start working again to think about the next race.”
