This is the most delicate moment of the Messina championship. The fight for survival is about to enter the final stretch, and the yellow-red ownership has raised its tone after the match against CastrumFavara. This was done by President Justin Davis through his social media profiles. "In decisive matches, those that determine a season, the work of many people, and the future of a club, it is essential that referees with proven experience and competence are appointed. Unfortunately, this standard has not been met," Davis's comment clearly directed at the decision to award a penalty in stoppage time to Castrum, which then resulted in the equalizer.

The team, on the other hand, is trying to work on the field. Vincenzo Feola is trying to give rhythm and intensity to the training sessions, and for this reason, in the afternoon, a joint training session took place in S. Teresa with Jonica. The result (2-1 for Messina) is relatively unimportant; rather, Feola took the opportunity to test the 3-5-2, the ball movement, and the team's proactive attitude.
