Today’s editorial begins with a focus on Avellino. Let’s start with a premise: we completely agree with Mr. Pazienza when he states that his team played a great match against a battleship like Vicenza. A well-known opponent with depth and who, with Vecchi, could win their group from the start without going through the playoffs. Moreover, the statistics do not lie: the home team had territorial dominance from start to finish and came close to taking the lead on several occasions. Two shots on the post, Patierno’s poor night and a sensational error from Marconi kept the visitors afloat, which was never dangerous in Ghidotti’s zone. The 0-0 score does not do justice to the Campania team, which, led by an extraordinary crowd, created the conditions for victory in the first semi-final match. However, we don’t like the whining that comes with the post-race period. Let’s refresh our memory: Avellino complains about the non-award of a penalty and an allegedly phantom goal. The images, in our opinion, are sufficient to reject the controversy against the sender: it is correct not to award a penalty, it is correct not to count a goal with a possible score of 1-0. It would be better for general manager Giorgio Perinetti to focus his attention solely on the return leg, without clinging to any alibis. The draw was the result of a poor attacking run by the strikers, and certainly not the decisions of Zanotti and his assistants. And enough of this cloying conspiracy. In Catania, Mr Crezzini (also appointed for the second leg against Vicenza) indirectly favored Wolves by overturning, after consultation with VAR (incorrect report), Cancellotti’s sending off after just sixty seconds. An episode that could change the history of the playoffs. We remain firmly convinced that at the end of the year, mistakes and gains cancel each other out and that indeed the better team can win, no matter what. In any case, we believe that Pazienza’s boys have what it takes to realize their dream of career advancement and conquer Menti, a stadium that will offer a top-class view. However, we do not like the statement of the red-and-white fans, who in their note “warn” visiting fans, urging them not to hang their banners in some areas of the stadium.
