Effe towards the play-in: decisive challenge for the playoffs against Livorno

Lost roads, a bit like the David Lynch film, a bit like the crumbling of the playoff dream in the best possible position: for Effe, barring a miraculous alignment of the planets on the last day (while still requiring victory), the play-in scenario opens up.

And therefore a further test to try to enter the quarter-finals for a place in the top division. "Congratulations to Rimini – says coach Attilio Caja –, who played a more consistent game, resisting our important moment. In the first half we had some empty passages and then we had a decline in the last 5', both physically and in attention, and in attack we found no alternatives to Aradori. Once his great game was over we stopped and they gained confidence. After getting closer they made life difficult for us". The umpteenth downward test by kenny gabriel, complicating the path that has not left its mark since his return to Avellino.

"As for Gabriel, his difficulties are objective and clear for all to see. His characteristics are those of a shooter, he doesn't have the one-on-one or back-to-the-basket dimension. Let's hope he can do better next time". Winning at Livorno and hope for negative results from the contenders. A complicated scenario for the playoffs. "There is regret in not being able to get a result and give satisfaction to the public, always the best man on the field, and to the club. We are not capitalizing. We lost 4 balls at the key moment: the difficulties are clear".
