Sorrento's Resurgence: Playoff Hopes Revived with Victory Over Latina

Vincenzo Maiuri defuses an argument with a fan and looks forward with confidence to the final phase of a championship that will, in any case, go down in the history of Sorrento. The victory over Latina reopens the doors to the playoffs and dispels the ghost of the playouts that had appeared after a negative streak of 7 points in eleven matches. "From the Sorrento fans," the red-and-black coach explains, "I definitely received more than what I gave. I accepted the criticisms, of course, and I always took them home, but I couldn't stand an out-of-place comment at the moment the teams entered the field." An important victory, a new opportunity to boost the rankings. "Against Latina," Maiuri adds, "we had to materialize a match that lived up to our potential. They scored most of their points away, even though we were technically playing on neutral ground. With the availability of defenders to make up the department, we returned to our usual 4-3-3 formation, but beyond the module, I liked the desire the boys put on the field. After the difficulties of the early season, we have become a compact team, and survival is a reward, but we must not stop, we must not stop and plan the remaining matches with the same determination that has characterized our journey." Having archived the return to victory, it's back on the field Saturday afternoon. "With Brindisi," Maiuri concludes, "we must play an important test, because it can allow us to stay in the top ranks. I have great confidence in the team, but the opponent we are facing should not be underestimated, having already surprised Francavilla. All together, we can try to achieve an unthinkable goal at the eve but now very real." With Latina, the red-and-black attack twins Ravasio and Martignago have returned to score, authors of the first two goals. "An important victory," Martignago explains, "has brought back the good mood that the last results had overshadowed." Eleven goals, the climb up the scorers' rankings restarts. "Riccardo's goal was more beautiful," jokes Ravasio. "I'm happy to have found the goal again and given the team a sprint to aim high again." The last was a dream weekend for the red-and-black colors: in fact, all the teams engaged in their respective youth categories also won. Following the first team's success over Latina, the Under 14 and Under 16 teams won respectively against Potenza and Benevento (both away). In Picerno, however, both the Under 15 and Under 17 teams won - with the latter team confirming its lead in the group and getting closer to the playoffs, a goal that is also embryonic for the Primavera.
