Derby Ravenna, a lot of work and a low profile. After Forlì, another six games not to be missed

After the celebrations – spontaneous and official – for the conquest of the Coppa Italia, and after the last training sessions last week, the Ravenna he returned to the field yesterday afternoon. In fact, there is still preparation to be made Derby next Sunday against Forlì. The topic of discussion in the organized fan circles, but also in the sports community, is still the 'ticket chaos', which will prevent many Giallorossi fans from following the team at Morgagni. The 879 away sector tickets made available to Forlì sold out last Thursday in 44 minutes. With more foresight and flexibility, everyone could have been satisfied, including the cashier, since the red and white day was announced, and season ticket holders will also pay for the ticket. The limited capacity of the Morgagni (3.350 tickets available, of which 879 away sector tickets and 1.100 home terrace tickets) and, above all, some gross errors in the management of the advance sales by Forlì, have created a situation that will displease many fans. It is difficult in fact that, despite Forlì being at the top of the league, the 'transport' of the locals could lead to a sell-out.

In the meantime, to best prepare for the super challenge at the top on Sunday, Ravenna, after yesterday's afternoon session, will train this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Rest is scheduled for Thursday, then they will resume on Friday morning, to conclude the efforts with the finishing touches on Saturday. The match at Morgagni (Forlì top of the table at 66; Ravenna at -2), although it looks like a week-long chess game, is important, but not yet decisive. Strategies, projections and perspectives are obviously in evidence on both desks. In fact, there are 3 options linked to the result to take into consideration (Ravenna will be at +1, -2 or -5 on Sunday evening), to then 'connect' to the regular season calendar. After the derby, there will be 6 more matchdays to go. The Giallorossi will have to face Corticella (home), Tau Altopascio (away), Fiorenzuola (home), Cittadella Vis Modena (away), Lentigione (home) and Progresso (away). Forlì will instead face Sasso Marconi (away), Tuttocuoio (home), Piacenza (away), Pistoiese (home), San Marino (away) and Imolese (home). Regardless of the technical level of their opponents, and that of the protagonists of the sprint, much will depend on their mental strength. Banana peels are in fact just around the corner and, several of Ravenna and Forlì's opponents, in addition to having concrete ranking interests tied to their positions in the playoff and playout grids, will play (as often happens) with additional motivation in the face of a big team.
