Desio Effect: Avoiding a Repeat of Pianella

Pianella effect also in Desio, everything will be needed in tomorrow evening’s match against Tortona. It was Brienza himself, in presenting the match, who called for a massive presence of fans in the crucial match against the Piedmontese. And what a Desio effect it is, if it is true that the only victories this year against Reggio Emilia, Cremona and Udine were obtained at home.

If the Pianella effect is still very much alive in the memories of the fans, so much so that the old Cucciago facility is still present in the Eagles’ chants, Desio – a larger and more dispersed structure, but capable of making a difference – over the years has become a building capable of “helping” the team. Proof of this is the recent full houses. This year we remember three. Game 3 in the final for promotion to Serie A, won with a grand finale against Rimini. But, although the victories did not arrive, the over 6,000 spectators recorded against Virtus Bologna and last December 20th against Milan (6,204, season record) also transformed the PalaFitLine into a hot and passionate fighting arena. Of course, Cantù-Tortona cannot have the same charm as Cantù-Milan. Furthermore, the team’s “no” moment is not of much help in this sense. But support cannot be missing. The Eagles also launched an appeal: «We must win against Tortona on Sunday! The kids need us! Everyone in Desio!!!»

Prices: second ring and curve 19 euros (reduced 16 euros), first ring steps 28 euros (reduced 20 euros), first ring grandstand 38 euros (reduced 30 euros), reductions apply to under 14s and over 70s.
