"Sella, it is essential to find Sperduto". Nicolai: "In Livorno, convinced and without disunity"

The first trip went successfully, and now hundred looks to the horizon with confidence. Third away win in a row, the fifth in the last six of a second half of the season that is giving a lot of satisfaction. Now, to complete the work, continuity is needed, riding the enthusiasm accumulated back from Avellino, where the final sprint, like in Brindisi, rewarded the desire to win of the Blessed. "I perceive this in the eyes of the boys, and I think it is the most beautiful and important thing at this moment". The one to notice and tell it is the gm Renato Nicolai, used to always experiencing the Sella up close, on the bench, next to Di Paolantonio and his staff, in difficult moments but also in victories, and in all the hugs that follow, like after Saturday night.

"It was a really great evening, an important success against a strong team, of value, that is playing a great championship, and on a pitch where leaving with two points in your pocket is extremely hard, for everyone. The boys were great, from the first to the last. The management of the finals? Nobody likes to suffer, but on the pitch there are also opponents and so sometimes it can happen, and when you win you always have to be happy, especially when you beat teams like Avellino or other big teams in the championship. We were good at Pala Del Mauro, just as we were in Brindisi: these are the victories that give you even more energy and awareness to face the future".

Cento again in the direct safety zone, waiting for the various recoveries, but the road is still long. In the meantime, however, the roster, after months, is again (almost) complete, enriched by the important return of Lost, immediately protagonist. "I never like to name names, but the fact that Alessandro gave us a significant hand to win it, is not a secret: recovering him was fundamental. He is young, he still has room for improvement, but already today he is a valuable player. Luck has not been on his side this year: let's hope that the end of the season rewards him for the enormous work he has done to return and that, consequently, it also rewards the Blessed".

Now Livorno, a team on the up but, like Sella, in the midst of a battle for salvation, led by Gennaro Di Carlo, who took over from Andreazza a few weeks ago and who Nicolai knows well, having worked with him in Nardò. "I will be happy to see him again, he is a person I have great respect for. A Livorno we go there aware of our means, but knowing that a battle awaits us, on a hot field, for this reason we will have to be good and careful to resist their gusts, without disuniting".
