There is great anticipation for the return to the field, after the Christmas break, of Asd Ragusa Calcio 1949 which, for the first match of the year, will face league leaders Trapani tomorrow, within the friendly walls of Aldo Campo in the Selvaggio district . The match is scheduled to start at 2.30pm. The visiting Granata finished the first round with 47 points resulting from 15 wins and 2 draws: no defeats. The blue team arrives at the appointment after the undeserved internal misstep with Città di Sant’Agata which interrupted the useful series after seven rounds. Giovanni Ignoffo’s team is eighth in the standings with 25 points. During the break, the coach recovered all the injured players even though the winger Guerriero and the attacker Sinatra only joined the group at the beginning of the week.
“We know – comments Mr. Ignoffo – we will face the strongest team in the championship. I can say that our group worked hard even during the holidays. We didn’t stop for a moment. In these last hours, we have gone into more detail, also addressing the tactical part. Since we are facing the most highly rated team in the group, we must prepare well so that the boys are able to put on a good performance and, above all, we must try to achieve a positive result regardless of the fact that the league leaders will be on the other side of the pitch. We have to look at our own home and try to do the best we can to put them in difficulty. We also ask for support from our audience. The encouragement while playing is a pleasure and, above all, I assure you that it gives an important additional stimulus.” Meanwhile, after the arrival of the athletic trainer Rosario Marangio, who took over the space left free by Giuseppe Di Mauro, the Iblean association has also hired a support in defense to guarantee further substance to the sector. Marcus Sebastian Musso arrived from Modica. The young athlete, born in 2002, trained in football in the youth teams of Palazzolo, Bisceglie, Sicula Leonzio and finally Modica. It goes without saying that, in view of tomorrow’s match, Ragusa aims to give their all and do well, also with the support of the Iblean fans.
