The move to the Centre’s group will guarantee savings But a much more competitive squad will have to be set up
OLBIA. The planning phase has started: soon we will begin preparing the location of Buddusò in view of the July retreat. On the formation of the new squad, the company moves the first pawns in a key to reconfirmation of the expiring players. Ragatzu, Canzi, La Rosa the first announcements. Already in the week those of Arboleda and Demarcus could arrive. The big news that also involves Olbia and that will influence choices and destinies is that linked to the new composition of the Serie C groups. Always three, always on a geographical basis but this time the direction to follow is not vertical but horizontal. A calculation that the data say will save 20% of costs for the clubs, and that – the official status is still missing – moves Olbia to group B: “The economic and financial sustainability of the system has guided any evaluation – the words of the president of Lega Pro Ghirelli when the novelty was announced – The path taken by the companies has made it possible to find a fully shared solution, with a democratic and responsible decision ».
Olbia, therefore, no longer together with teams from northern Italy but together with new opponents from the center. At the logistical level, it will be necessary to understand how to move. For Group A the question was simpler, almost always making a stop in Milan.
On the football level, in the city there are rumors of a group that will be more difficult. A decidedly more equipped team will be needed if only to aim for a peaceful salvation, the fans say. But it is too early to say that, it will only be possible to understand the real level when you know the other teams selected in the group.
Meanwhile, the season on the field for Olbia can only be said to have ended starting from yesterday. The Primavera dei Bianchi has in fact played its last game managing to reach the desired goal: the 1-1 obtained against Carrarese is worth reconfirmation in the Primavera 3 championship. Excellent news for the Gallura nursery, comments the head of the sector young Luca Raineri: «I thank the guys and the staff for what they have been able to do in this last month and a half. This season we have brought many boys to play in the first team – the direct reference is to Belloni, Demarcus, Secci, Occhioni, Barone – but at the same time we managed to be competitive in the Primavera 3 championship by launching under-age boys. It is the clear sign that, despite the suspension of the under 17, under 15 and under 14 championships due to the pandemic, we have worked very well in all categories ».
The last of the season was also the first match with the “Nespoli” open to the contingent public. About 250 spectators on the stands: “Next year, the Primavera will be able to restart from a young but talented group, already experienced and competitive”, concludes Raineri. In addition to the aforementioned, other small talents have come to light, in a group made up almost entirely of young people from all over northern Sardinia. As if to say that the Olbia shipyard is open and promises to soon reach the conclusion of the works for the next season.
