Venice is playing for salvation, society to the fans: “Fill the stadium”
The leading role in the last few days of the championship is relegation. In the last postponement against Lazio came a 1 to 0 defeat, preceded by two “embarked”: a 4 to 1 net at home against Sassuolo and 3 to 1 in the derby against Verona, at the Bentegodi stadium. If Venezia wants to find the way to salvation and guarantee themselves another year of stay in the top flight, they will have to dare more, find the pride and wickedness that allowed them to achieve an unexpected promotion last year.
If it is true that the orange-and-green still have one game to recover, the one against Salertana, it is equally true that the Campania players, who are currently in the last place, have played two fewer matches, and by winning them both would (hypothetically) hook precisely the Venetian rivals in the standings. Similarly, a victory against the grenade in the recovery of the match missed on January 6 due to Covid would not allow Paolo Zanetti’s men to make a great leap forward.
In this delicate period, when there are only nine days to go until the end of the championship, the warning comes from the vice president of the lagoon club, Andrea Cardinaletti: «From now on we will play a championship in the championship. – he said this afternoon on the occasion of the start of the works for the new facilities of the Taliercio – They are all playoffs. It’s like a year ago, when we didn’t know if we would be able to go to Serie A, but there was hope. We are now in a delicate situation. Salvation is not impossible, but there is a need for momentum, enthusiasm ”.
The key to salvation passes from the players but also from the feel-good supporters, the twelfth man on the pitch, who according to Cardinaletti at this moment must make even more attachment to the team. «We must have a stadium full of our cheering. – he added – In order not to leave room for the others, for the visiting fans. Serve that on Sunday there are as many people as possible. The company calls all the orange-green people together, we need help ». The “new” championship of Venezia begins on Sunday at lunchtime, when another team will arrive at Penzo, entangled in the fight not to be relegated, Marco Giampaolo’s Sampdoria, fresh like Venice from three consecutive defeats.
