Part this evening, with the interesting advance between the two neopromosse Parma and Cremonese the series B 2017 / 2018. The "Italian championship", as the second national football competition has just been renamed, sees this year's beginner ribbons formations from the illustrious past that represent important and historic squares of the national football landscape.
On Saturday at the Barbera the new coach's Palermo, former Pordenone, Bruno Tedino and Fabio Gallo's Spezia will face off. The two technicians, both making their debut in Serie B, worked together in Treviso, the first as a coach of the youth sector and the second as a player of that team that was promoted to Serie B. Again as regards the technicians, the return is curious. “Immediate” of the new Frosinone coach, Moreno Longo in Vercelli, where he played and then trained last year. From the "amarcord" flavor the challenge between the master Zeman and the pupil Stroppa for what is considered the big match of the first day Pescara-Foggia, with the Bohemian who faces the team with which he made miracles in the 90 ', launching in the great football champions of the caliber of Giuseppe Signori, Ciccio Baiano, Kolivanov, Shalimov, Rambaudi and many others. The Avellino starts at home against the Brescia of the new owner Massimo Cellino, who promises to bring the swallows back to Serie A as soon as possible. Carpi-Novara, Cittadella-Ascoli, Ternana-Empoli and Virtus Entella-Perugia closed the day, in addition to the postponement on Monday, Bari-Cesena. The three teams dropped from Serie A can count on considerable economic strength. Palermo, among these, seems to be the best equipped for the jump in category. Patron Zamparini seems convinced he can watch everyone from above and says: “We talked to Lupo and Tedino, we are confident for the first match against Spezia. New grafts? We're talking about. I think the team has the characteristics to recover, we kept a large part of the staff from last year. If last year we had had a more present president and Tedino as coach we would not have been relegated ”. These are the statements of Maurizio Zamparini, who returned to Palermo as owner after six months of absence. Then he adds: “Serie B is very difficult. Investors have arrived like in Parma and Venice. Frosinone had an excellent team, Pescara and Empoli are fearsome. It won't be an easy championship, but I think I can win it. I have a coach who looks like Sarri, he's a hard-hitting man and a hard worker. He is a humble, unmounted dad to gamers. He knows football and the players ”.
The latest Serie B championships have taught us that freshmen, on the wings of enthusiasm for the minor championships won, can aspire and often realize the dream of the double jump. It happened three years ago at Roberto Stellone's Frosinone, as happened last season even for two newly promoted players, Semplici's Spal and Baroni's Benevento. This year the so-called “new-entries”, if we want, are even more equipped and ambitious than those just mentioned. The first two, Parma and Cremonese, we will see them against each other this evening in advance, for Foggia and Venice we will have to wait for tomorrow. And speaking of Venice, these are the declarations of his coach Filippo Inzaghi on the eve of his debut on a cadet bench: “Serie B is incredible like this year with 7-8 teams candidates for promotion. We hope to be able to annoy everyone ". So Pippo Inzaghi, the Venezia coach, spoke to Sky Sport on the eve of his debut as a Serie B coach at the helm of the lagoon club. "The three relegated (Empoli, Palermo and Pescara) have built competitive teams, Frosinone deserved promotion last year, now they have added a player like Ciano in an attack that can already count on Dionisi and Ciofani, but I would not forget Bari, Perugia, then there is Parma, which with the transfer market they made in January and this summer made a great team, then there are the newly promoted Foggia and Cremonese who are enthusiastic and are working well - explains the Venezia coach -. We have focused on young players, you need to be patient with them, they will play in the '97 class and in Serie B it is not easy, but I think we have made a right mix between established and experienced players and prospective players. The base is that of last year which in Lega Pro did very well, even on Saturday there will be 7-8 players from last year at the debut on the pitch ”. To annoy everyone is the goal of a Venice which, according to Inzaghi "must not set limits, we will always give our best then we will see what happens".
We will surely see them in a championship in which, more than in Serie A, everyone can win against anyone, subverting rankings and betting weeks from week to end, often unpredictable.
