PIACENZA MUST ACCELERATE IN AN UNCERTAIN GROUP MORE THAN EVER – After eight games, with several postponements due to rain, it is still a difficult task to make the cards in group A of Serie B. Piacenza for the moment can do nothing but chase given the balance, a little thin, of three wins and five defeats. Let’s say right away that not everything is to be thrown away, on the contrary. The victories have been real victories and the defeats have never been heavy nor humiliating and in some cases have even left room for motivated recriminations. The team is there and it is not utopian to think that it can regain positions in the next few days, but it is rather the palpable balance expressed by the group that leads to perhaps worried reflections. A few games were enough to overturn what were the hierarchies hypothesized on the eve of the season. Avigliana and Alghero, and why not also Ares Milano, who are making it beyond the forecasts, Codogno and Junior Parma, given as favorites, who instead struggle with even the ducals who have returned from four consecutive defeats.
And then Milan, relegated from Serie A and animated by the proud intention of returning quickly, which so far has not been able to demonstrate the superiority that was expected. At the bottom of the platoon, the Fossano, presented as a loose cannon that already risks being dangerously delayed. It is therefore clear how disengaging in such a fickle context can represent a significant obstacle for those who, like Piacenza, are dutifully called upon to quickly recover the lost ground in this first part of the championship. On Sunday the litmus test in Milan, at the home of the most ambitious, most noble and probably best equipped opponent. The absolute obligation to give the maximum to get out of the trip unscathed is perfectly combined with Piacenza’s need to regain possession of its best version. What is considered by many to be more than sufficient to justify substantial ambitions. Time for exams for Marenghi’s team already? We would say yes if we remain of the opinion that we want to give a very concrete meaning to this season.
