Second game in a row for the Rossazzurri in Calabria. This time the game is against Castrovillari, a team from a village of 22,000 people in north Calabria.
Castrovillari is currently fifth last in the ladder and in the last five games won only once. They are not having a good moment and for this reason they have just changed the coach hoping to invert the trend.
Catania played in Castrovillari 9 times in his history, losing three times, drawing three times and winning three times. The last time they played in Castrovillari was in 1999 in Serie C. At the end of that year Massimino's family sold the team to the Gaucci's family.
4 months ago, in Catania, the game against Castrovillari terminated 4-0 with goals of Sarao, Sarno and Jefferson (2).
Our President is currently in Catania to see the St. Agata festival (see photo), he will be in Castrovillari too and so far anytime he was at the stadium, Catania won. A win is necessary to keep at the top of the ladder an advantage of 14 points from the follower Locri that tomorrow is playing home against Licata (currently 5th).
Go Elephants go!

I would like to dedicate the following Poem to Mister Ross Pelligra and all the people who Love Catania:
Catania Bedda Mia
Poesia
Catania bedda mia, terra d’amuri,
Terra di sognu e di biddizzi rari
E lu to celu e’ sempri d’un culuri
Azzuru comu e’ Azzuru lu to mari
E l’abitanti toi su rosi e ciuri,
Beddi di cori ca si fannu amari.
Catania bedda mia lu to sorrisu
Mi pari nu pezzu di lu paradisu
Lu mari dilla statula
La chiana e li Giaddini,
La plaia, a villa e l’Etna,
Su loghi assai divini
E in ogni logu cantunu
Milli acidduzzi a schera,
Picchi’ sulu a Catania
E’ sempri primavera.
Lu suli ca ti vasa ogni matina
Ti…
Anch'io sono un devoto di Sant'Agata di nascita.
Mio padre (U Zu Cicciu) buon anima mi portava alla festa di Sant'Agata dall'etá 11 mesi (appena prima di compiere il mio primo anno). Indossavo il sacco bianco, berettina nera, guanti e fazzolettino bianchi.
Tutti i divoti tutti.....
Cittadini e VIVA Sant'Aita,
Cittadini e VIVA Sant'Aita,
Cittadini e VIVA Sant'Aita,
W Sant'Agata!!!
Au... Fozza Catania
Spurugghiti attia!
Buon GiorNotte.
