Ascoli in Sestri Levante: last chance to save the season

The Way of the Cross of theAscoli may have reached the final station. A Sestri Levante it will be one Easter Monday of passion for a Picchio that will try to close one of the most dramatic years in its history. Built and then reinforced without much logic to chase (according to the current company leaders) important objectives, the team currently coached by Mimmo DiCarlo tomorrow at Sivori (kick-off at 15pm) will have the opportunity to put an end to a painful journey made up of many disappointments and bitterness. In the duel that will be played out against the Ligurian team, the Bianconeri will be looking for the star with regards to the overall number of victories obtained during the season. Another of the terrible data produced during the championship were the only 9 overall successes recorded with two matches to go. Statistics that make you think if we then add the 15 defeats and 12 draws to the horrifying completion of everything. Other circumstances that had rarely occurred previously. So here at the home of the Corsari, Ascoli will try to at least reach the tenth victory which would still provide meager consolation.

The days leading up to the match preparation were again anything but serene for the coach and the players. And to generate further reactions from a crowd that has now definitively dumped the company managed by Pulcinelli family, the about-face expressed by the Roman entrepreneur on the transfer issue has been added. If Picchio is about to close the failed path taken with broken bones from every point of view, on the other side there will be a Sestri Levante charged and ready to sell its soul to the devil to have even just a single chance to still hope in the playout. At this moment the rossoblù would be virtually relegated by virtue of the difference with Lucchese greater than eight points, but with a win everything could reopen. And in this case the Picchio would have to postpone everything in the next and last home match against Legnago on Sunday 27 (at 16.30:XNUMX). The organized fans of Sestri Levante, in order to close ranks at the most decisive moment of the championship, have advanced a sort of call to arms addressed to all supporters. On the other front, the sale of tickets for the away sector, despite it being a holiday, has never taken off due to the distance and the almost total lack of enthusiasm.
