Roma is coming, Piovani’s girls can get back in the running for the Champions League
It is the ‘day of days’ for the other half of the green-black sky. Fresh from a ‘braking’ from two points in three games – last victory last February 5, against Sampdoria – and reluctantly slipped from second to third place in the standings, Sassuolo Feminine plays today at Ricci (2.30 pm) a decisive game against Rome which is, today, his most accredited rival for the fight for second place which at the end of the season is worth the ‘Champion’s League’. It is true that leaders Juventus and Milan fourth are also in the fray, but the challenge is between Roma, now second at 39 points, and Sassuolo, third at 36, when at the end of the season missing just five days: if the neroverdi win the speech reopens, if they lose the gap between them and the leading tandem will be unbridgeable, leaving as the only achievable goal to the girls of Piovani, already beaten by the Giallorossi in the first leg, that third place already reached last season. The black team (also) focuses on the green field factor, determined to go beyond several absences – Orsi, Cantore, Tomaselli, Dongus, to name a few – to assert themselves, and count on the public. Also from this point of view, the neroverde team was the protagonist, Wednesday in Piazza Garibaldi, of a solidarity initiative in favor of Ukrainian refugees (“Cheering for peace”, the title) which continues today at Ricci: 50% of the proceeds it will in fact be donated to the current account activated at the City of Sassuolo Solidarity Fund. Precisely to guarantee today’s race of the initiative and ensure the girls the support provided by the scattered buildings of the historic Piazza Risorgimento, tickets for today’s race will also be on sale this morning (until 2.30 pm, prices from 5 to 10 euros ) at the neroverde ‘store’ in piazza Garibaldi.
The Juventus ranking points 44; Rome 39; Sassuolo 36; Milan 34; Inter 32; Sampdoria 25; Pomigliano Female, Empoli 19; Fiorentina 18; Napoli Women 15; Lazio Women 7; Hellas Verona 1.
