The prospects of the rossoblù. Marco Falso wins the national “Maurizio Mattei” award: "A special man and also a talent scout"

CIVITANOVA"The Teramo he is very strong and has not resigned himself to second place, but this Civitanova It's a complete team in all departments and can do well". This is what he says Domenico Izzotti, former coach of the two teams that will face each other on Sunday at 14.30pm at Sports club. "A delicate match – Izzotti judges – for both. In any case I will support Civitanovese, also for the friendship that binds me to the ds Claudio Cicchi. When I come to the Polisportivo I am always welcomed and this makes me very happy". The red and blue team, fourth from bottom with 29 points, will have to deal with the red and whites, second at -9 points from the leaders Ext. "A victory would be ideal, but - the former coach analyses - even a draw would not be dramatic considering the strength of the opponent. The red and whites, on the other hand, will only think about the three points since they will try to threaten Samb until the end". Izzotti, who knows the Abruzzo team well, is able to give a possible interpretation of the match: "Coach Pomante, who usually adopts the 3-4-3, will want an aggressive attitude. This can represent an advantage for the Senigagliesi team that will be able to exploit the counterattack phase, but it will be necessary to pay attention to players like Galesio o Pavone. Also watch out for Little Angels on set pieces. It must be said, however, that the red and whites suffer a bit on grass pitches". The first leg ended 2-2. "That day - Izzotti later explains - I was at the Bonolis stadium. Civitanovese made a great impression on me considering that at home the red and whites have crushed many teams. I saw the red and blues in action against Samb too, both in the championship match and in the summer friendly. I told Cicchi that an excellent team had been assembled, then I don't know what led to the negative results. I can't understand how they could find themselves in that position. I know Diop e Leaf who are excellent players, Visciano deserves a monument for how much he runs, despite being the oldest". Finally Izzotti entrusts these columns with a reflection: "Civitanova – he concludes – is a beautiful place. The fans let you work if you do well, then it is normal to criticize when the results do not arrive. However, I believe it is a mistake to challenge President Profili. These days it is not easy to find someone who dedicates time, resources and passion to us in this way".
