The iron cycle is coming, so the Old Wild West enters the play-off climate

From Turin to recovery with everything in the next 30 days. At stake is the possible escape in the league and the Italian Cup

UDINE. The Apu Old Wild West is preparing for a month of fire. The calendar, in fact, offers the bianconeri an authentic tour de force between Sunday and March 27: in the event of landing in the Italian Cup final, Antonutti and his teammates will play 8 games in 29 days.
The beginning of this full immersion includes a mini iron cycle that offers the APU a very tempting prospect: to go on the run in the league.

Sunday we go to Turin against one of the healthiest teams in the Green group, while the two main pursuers (Pistoia and Cantù) will remain to watch for the postponements of their respective matches, due to the summons of some foreign players in their respective national teams.

On 6 March Udine will host Cantù and in addition to winning it will try to overturn the -3 of the first leg to secure the advantage in the double head-to-head.
After the two big league matches, the APU will go to Roseto degli Abruzzi, still unofficial seat of the Italian Cup Final Eight, to avenge the burning defeat in the 2021 final against Naples.

Succeeding would mean playing three games in three days, with all the expenditure of physical and nervous energy required. From one year to the next there is a substantial difference: in 2021 in Cervia Udine was an outsider, this year in Roseto she will be among the favorites and will have more pressure on her.
After the Cup adventure, Apu will dive back into the championship with a mini-cycle of three games in eight days, with the suitcase always ready: Sunday 20 March we go to Mantua, three days later a trip to Casale Monferrato for recovery. of the 2nd return match, on March 27th home match against Urania.

Watch out for traps and fatigue, against certainly cooler teams.
The more you go on, the thicker your commitments. This is the common destiny of the most ambitious teams of the A2 series 2021/22, competing on the double championship-cup track.

Games are increasing, there is less time to train and we travel often. It will also happen after next month’s tour de force: from 4 April to 1 May April Udine will play 6 games, including 4 in the clock phase. Then between May and June the great ball of the play-offs will start and will be played every 2-3 days, hoping to go all the way.
