Leading alone, but Gozzano must recover two games The most important challenge on May 9, on the home field
PONT DONNAS
The last time it was the Canavese (2006-07), and a few seasons before the Ivrea (2002-03), to place themselves on the top step of the ranking in the Serie D championship. Today, Pont Donnaz Hone leads this ranking. Arnad, the terrible freshman, who in his first season in the top amateur league is beating the field and who, when there are eight days to go, finds himself at the top of the ranking with a good chance of playing for the final success.
It is true that Gozzano, who are chasing two points away from the orange, has yet to recover two games, both outside against Borgosesia and Hsl Derthona, but in the meantime Varvelli and his teammates enjoy the solitary first place waiting for the events.
The merit of this extraordinary performance must be equally divided between the management, careful to seize every opportunity and not to let the team miss anything, and the technical staff starting from sporting director Luca Padovano, from mister Roberto Cretaz to finish at his second Gianni Cuc and to the athletic trainer Gianfranco Roi. Certainly the choice of the elements to be included in the squad, during the preparation phase of the team, was decisive for the purposes of the year and in this work both Padovano and Cretaz were superlative. At the court of president Giuseppe Stanca, players have been chosen with care and with certain characteristics, just think of elements such as Lauria, Balzo, Ciappellano, Tanasa and Masini who have added quality and experience to an already consolidated complex.
the realist Paduan sports director
But where does this Pdhae want to go? «What is certain – says sports director Luca Padovano – is that we will play to win all the remaining matches. We know that there are stronger and more experienced formations than us, for example Gozzano who with two wins would leave us four points behind, but I repeat we will always take the field with the desire to bring home a success. Looking at our ranking – continues Padovano – we are proud of what has been done because one thing is to be in the lead after a few days, another is to be in the lead after thirty games. The championship is still long and on our way we will find three direct clashes, with Gozzano, Castellanzese and Bra. In my opinion, they will be decisive ».
mister cretaz: “A dream”
On the same wavelength the thought of Mr. Cretaz: «It is a dream that we would like to continue to live – the coach attacks – a dream from which we would not want to wake up. Apart from the jokes are the numbers that explain how much good has been done so far. We travel at an average of two points per game, together with Gozzano we are the team with the least number of defeats and, after Castellanzese, the best attack in the group. These are numbers that say a lot about our path. Now – concludes Cretaz – we just have to prepare ourselves in the best possible way and be ready for the recovery. We still want to give the management and our fans a lot of satisfaction ». Apart from Lauria, the championship finished for him, the recovery of the other injured players continues with good sensations. Pippo Scala has already returned to the ranks and no long stops are expected for Ferrando, who came out prematurely in the last match against the Arconatese. For Balzo it will take a few more days but he too is on the road to full recovery so much so that Cretaz already hopes to have him at the resumption of the championship on Wednesday 5 May, in the away match in Legnano, a few days before the key match that will see the Aosta Valley hosts Sunday 9 at the Milliery Gozzano in the first clash at the top of these last eight decisive days. –
