Real Forio, Sunday is an appointment with history

Serrano's goal at the end of the match makes the away sector of the Stadio Prassino in Sessa Aurunca explode with enthusiasm and sends the final signal to the championship: Real Forio is the third force in Group A of Eccellenza and will play the first round of the playoffs at home. A result desired and hoped for by the club and the team-group, because, as mister Carlo Sanchez reported, "facing the match at Calise is beautiful".

The Turks, who have already written an important page in their history, are ready to continue the path that leads to promotion to Serie D. There are many obstacles along the way, as well as pitfalls: in the event of qualification, the Biancoverdi will have to challenge more highly rated teams, but the locker room is united and cohesive. The demonstration, not necessary but always splendid, came at the final whistle of the match won against Sessana, with celebrations on the pitch between those who contributed to building this small miracle and those who, as supporting players, accepted the coach's choices. Sanchez created great compactness and unity of purpose, which will be the first strong points in view of the next match.

Gladiator will stop on the island, an opponent fresh from the success obtained on Sant'Anastasia and with the ambition of regaining the category lost in May of last year. It will be a one-off match and in case of a draw at the end of ninety minutes, the game will proceed to the two periods of extra time, but not to penalty kicks.

If the tie were to be confirmed, the team in the best position in the standings at the end of the regular season will be considered the winner. Therefore, two results out of three in favor of Real Forio, who will not have to do too many calculations and will only have to think about beating the Nerazzurri battleship. After a day of rest, scheduled for Monday, the team returned to the field on Tuesday afternoon and also trained yesterday at Calise.

Training will continue until Saturday, the day of the final training, scheduled for the morning. On Sunday afternoon, in a stadium that is preparing to be colored in black and green, the team dear to president Amato will try to advance in the playoffs. Sanchez hopes to recover some missing pieces, from Tomasin to Castagna. The striker could return after the injury and put the last few weeks of stoppage behind him. Di Meglio's conditions must also be evaluated; the staff aims to have the entire group available. "The important thing was to achieve the minimum objective, that is, participation in the playoffs. As for the position, we were relatively interested.

The verdict said that we are fourth, we must go to Forio with the maximum awareness of who we are and of the excellent opponent we will face, but we are convinced that we can play our chances", explained the Gladiator coach, Vincenzo Platone, on the sidelines of the victory snatched from Sant'Anastasia on the last day of the championship.
