Important week for Mr. Antonio Ardolino’s Saval Maddalena who is currently in 2nd place in second category group B on par with Alpo Club 98 on 13 points. Tomorrow 20 October at 3.30 pm, on the friendly pitch in via Marin Faliero 99, the local Giallorossi will challenge league leaders Casteldazzano of president Nicoletta Braga. In the standings, after 6 days of the championship, the red and white guests of coach Andrea Danese are first with 16 points, the result of 5 victories, 1 draw and no defeats. The group leaders have an enviable run. Last Sunday, the team of 26-year-old striker Pietro Grossule (top scorer of the group with 6 goals) inflicted a heavy 4-0 at home on the unfortunate Cadore, eleventh in the rankings with 5 points together with Rosegaferro. We tried to contact the Casteldazzano club but the red and white association kindly and politely declined our invitation. Perhaps for good luck or to avoid revealing too much of the cards on the table. Saval Maddalena instead achieved a precious 0-0 draw last Sunday at Caselle. The president of Saval Maddalena Pio De Marco, speaking about tomorrow’s big match, tells us: “In football anything can happen but let’s remember that we are a newly promoted team that is competing against solid, very strong teams that have already been playing in this game for years. category. Tomorrow, we meet the strongest team who are undoubtedly well equipped to try to win this group. We respect everyone but we also have an important objective to achieve so we will play the points for survival without fear against any opponent.”
The sporting director of the Giallorossi first team, Lamberto Manfè, told us: “We can’t wait to play against Casteldazzano, a very strong opponent as the ranking certifies, given that they are first in the rankings. We will give everything on the pitch with modesty and temperament. We believe that this year, even though we are newly promoted, we have fielded a squad of good level players, guys who fight with ardor every Sunday and with whom we are very happy. No discounts and no gifts against Casteldazzano. We will enter the field to win the three points and reach the top of the table.” On the favorite teams for the jump in category, the Giallorossi director names three candidates: “Casteldazzano, who are a battleship, then I say Povegliano and Caselle who finished in 2nd place last year, I hope the surprise will be the Saval Maddalena”. The visit made to the local team a few days ago by the Hellas Verona champion Hans Peter Briegel and his teammate Piero Fanna was very successful (Paolo Goretti was also present and allowed the meeting). The three spoke with the young people of the Giallorossi youth sector and with the managers of Saval Maddalena with its president Pio De Marco in the front row. “We want to make ourselves better known at a provincial level by hosting former professional players who have made football great in our area. Briegel proved to be a truly exceptional and incredibly friendly person with us. It is not excluded that in the future we could also collaborate at youth level with Kaiserslautern, a team that plays in the German B series, of which Briegel is a manager. Other Hellas Verona champions could come to visit us soon, I don’t rule it out.”
