Pavia, the coach wants 3 points “But don’t say it’s a final”

Tomorrow the penultimate of the championship against Calvairate, to win to hope “Seeing the results of the other fields we will know if direct salvation is possible”

PAVIA

On the eve of the penultimate weekend of Group A of Excellence, two verdicts have already been issued: the Varesina victorious and promoted to D with two rounds to spare and the Settimo Milanese relegated to the Promotion.

Very open situation for the play off and play out speech. In the race to save two teams are already mathematically condemned to play out: the Base 96 Seveso, penultimate and which risks not playing them due to points difference on the fifth from last (at most they must be 6 to play the double salvation play-off, and Rhodense which can only aspire to improve his third from last place: from Pavia, now fourth from last up games still open.

It is useless to hide that the Azzurri only have to hit two victories: Sunday with Calvairate and then on the Sestese field (now fourth) to try to avoid the play outs in the sprint. Solutions that will be evaluated only after the results on Sunday afternoon and the last one will be that of Pavia-Calvairate, a match scheduled at Fortunati at 15.30 (and not at 18 as expected until yesterday, to ensure the contemporaneity of the matches).

«It will not be a final for us – explains the Pavia coach Giuseppe Fiorito -. The finals are others. But a race only to be won, to conquer three points with great pride and dignity and then at the end of the penultimate day to see the ranking and evaluate what possibilities, and if we will have them, to be able to play all out in the away match on May 1st in Sesto Calende ».

Calvairate will appear in Pavia with 31 points, five more than Pavia, and in fifth from last position paired with Gavirate. These two teams today are + 10 from the Sevese Base 96 and therefore would not compete in the play outs due to points difference (which must be less than 7). «A point could be useful for them to be safe already from Sunday evening, then they will have the internal match with Vergiatese to eventually win direct salvation in the last championship – Fiorito remembers -. No we just play to win. We have to do it as well as we started with a valuable opponent like Varzi, but after an advantage, as happened on Sunday, close the races and not allow those who face us to overturn the scores or recover a double disadvantage. If we had gone 2-0, we would certainly be talking about other things today… .and making other accounts for the sprint to salvation and with more opportunities to hit it. But now we have to think only of the Calvairate… ».

In the first leg (on the blue bench there was Omar Albertini) in the second league season Pavia conquered the Milanese field for 2-1 with the goals of Negri and Donadio, only in the final did Calvairate score the goal of the flag with Ricupati.

In Pavia he comes from a roadmap of 6 defeats and 1 victory in the last 7 races but with a calendar that has almost always offered him top teams as opponents. «The defender Volpini, the midfielder Conte and above all in attack Ricupati (7 goals) are back from the disqualifications and the bomber Licciardello should return from the first minute (11 goals) – remembers the Pavia coach -. But as always we will have to think about playing our race and winning it because it is the only possibility to play it all in the last 90 ‘». –
