"I hope to play on May 4th (first round of play-offs, ed.), I am convinced that we have the possibility to do so. We must create the possibility to play the match with Pontedera for something". This is how Vincenzo Cangelosi presented this afternoon's match against Campobasso before the postponement. And during these days of forced retreat in Molise, the red and white coach will have repeated it several times to the team.

"The Campobasso match is decisive. The last one could be useless if we don't come out well from the next match. We will have to try in every way to do well and be more active in both phases". Because if certain results don't fall into place at the final whistle tonight, what is seen today as a direct clash with Pontedera (scheduled for Sunday at Curi), could only be the last game of the championship. To make sense, as Cangelosi says, Perugia must win the three points in the last act of the regular season. A real feat, considering the Biancorossi's external trend, but one that can be accomplished. These extra days have allowed the coach to recover some players who are not at their best. Giraudo, for example, could make himself available and start from the first minute. If the tactical idea of ​​the match has not changed as the days go by, the Perugia coach will deploy the four-man defense, announced before leaving for Campobasso.

So in front of Gemello there should be space for Mezzoni on the right, Giraudo on the left with Riccardi and Amoran in the center. In the middle of the field Di Maggio and Joselito are in pole position, with the last place that sees Giunti in a ballot with Broh. Ballots also in attack, with Montevago and Matos in the lead and with the last place of the trident that could be occupied by Kanoute who starts as the favorite over Cisco. Choices, ideas, hypotheses, solutions. Perugia just has to find the right key to continue thinking about the final play-offs.
