ROMANO CANAVESE
After the third consecutive victory obtained last Sunday in La Maddalena against Caprera, the Independiente Ivrea does not want to stop. In fact, on the fifth return day of group A of women’s Serie C, the Ivrea will host Pinerolo, second-ranked team this Sunday, May 2 at 5pm.
The orange striker Federica Mussano, 20 years old, from Banchette, one of the most in form of the Ivrea players, with four goals in the last three games, keeps his guard up: «We are coming from a very good moment, but Sunday a very difficult game awaits us. We will face the second force in the championship and at the moment there is parity between us and them ». Ivrea won in the Italian Cup in September (1-0) and defeat in the first leg of the league (0-3). «We will not have to be afraid and we will have to take the field trying to impose our game from the first minutes, to put our opponents in difficulty – continues Mussano -. We will have to pay the utmost attention especially to the striker Mellano, the current top scorer in the championship with fourteen centers, but not only. We will have to be good in the circulation of the ball and concreteness in every role ». The team will not be complete, Mancuso and Colombero will still be missing, while the various Monica Dreon, Baudin, Bionaz and Nicastro are still in doubt.
«But whoever takes the field – says the attacker – will have to give their best and have maximum concentration in every detail. We changed gears: in the first twelve days we had collected only ten points, while in the last three days we collected nine. We do not want to stop because we have not yet reached salvation, our main goal ».
