The Last Day of Rest. Eight Games to Dream About

Even on a day off, the ball cannot help but be the main thought. At least, for Filippo Inzaghi. "Let's respect the habits with another Sunday of football". He wrote it himself, in the photo published on Instagram. A sweet shot, portraying the coach of the Pisa hand in hand with his son (who obviously has Inzaghi 9 written on his shirt), walking along Lungarno Mediceo. After all, it's well known: "Super Pippo" wanted to experience the city right from the start, in its center. And perhaps that's also why empathy and such a strong bond with his fans immediately came to life. And how was this day of rest spent? With the ball! Yes, the one that baby Inzaghi is holding under his arm, already a "protagonist" after the victory against Mantua, who remained on the pitch to play with his father. All of this, "for the joy of mom" writes the coach. After these hours of relaxation, from now on we get serious. Yes, because with the resumption of training in San Piero a Grado, there are no more stops planned. We're going straight to the end, scheduled for May 9 (time to be defined). The goal? The promotion to Serie A.

Where does Pisa start again? From a very important success in a full Arena, which brought the number of points of advantage over third-place Spezia to five. From the enthusiasm of the people, also demonstrated by the meeting between the fans and Calabresi and Caracciolo. How does it get there? Good. Without suspended or injured players (except Esteves and Leris, who will return to the field only next season), and with a Vignato to test after the problems that have kept him out in the last period. What's ahead? Eight games. The last eight games of the season. We start with the away match in Cosenza on March 29, which will be followed in seven days by the home match with Modena (Saturday, April 5 at 17:15 p.m.). Then it will be the turn of the away match with Reggiana on April 12. We come to the triple commitment of the holidays: on Easter Monday, Pisa, at 20:30 pm, will host Cremonese in the top match of the day, while four days later, on April 25, the Nerazzurri will be guests of Brescia. To close the trio of holidays, on May 4st, Frosinone will arrive at the Arena (times to be defined). The last two days are scheduled for the away match in Bari on the weekend of May XNUMXth, then the match with Sudtirol. From tomorrow until the end, forty-six days in total, the most important in the history of Pisa for over thirty years. Between anxiety and worries about the conquest of a goal to be achieved, perhaps we need to resort to the photo published by Inzaghi: the football understood as what it is, a game, which can transmit joy, unites people in chasing their dreams.
