"Hello everyone I am Gabriele Moretti alongside Luigi Fiore live from Estadio de Parma CF in Calcio, this is a relegation playoff fixture, today is going to be a fight for the final place to play in the Italian top flight this upcoming season between Parma CF and Bologna FC. It is going to be an intense game today right, Aldo?"
"Yeah, Gabriele you are right, today both teams will go head to toe against each other to seal their spot in the upcoming season Lega de Italia. It will be interesting to see who will come out victorious and who will go out and play in the second division."
"Yeah, Aldo it will be interesting to know who will seal their spot in the Italian top flight but before that let me remind you that last night Verona Guerrieri joined Cagliari F.C and Genoa Titani by defeating Brescia C.F and today we will find out which another team that will join these three teams today in the Italian top flight. We will find out in the short break, stay tuned."
The stadium was filled with Parma C.F but not fully and the players of both teams were in the tunnel of the stadium waiting for the call of the referee. The two teams standing parallel to each other, Parma C.F players were talking to each other and were standing in a disjointed manner, all of the sudden team captain Cilo Eincho came there and everyone assembled themselves in a proper line behind Cilo Eincho, Cilo Eincho standing in the frontline leading his team while standing he looked at his opponent team. When Cilo Eincho was looking at the Bologna F.C squad suddenly their captain Leonardo Carvalho also arrived at the same time and gave an intense look at Cilo Eincho. Cilo Eincho didn't get intimidated by that he maintained his composure and turned his sight away from them.
The match referees also arrived in the tunnel, the main referee looked at his wristwatch and announced to both teams that now they enter the pitch. The players of both teams get themselves prepared mentally and physically, and some players also were praying before entering the pitch. The referees were the first who walked out of the tunnel and behind the referees, both teams also walked out of the tunnel and stepped onto the field. Both team captains Cilo Eincho and Leanardo Carvahlo were leading their respective teams on the pitch.
Luis Salvatore arrived in the VIP box of the stadium with his assistant and when he arrived there, he saw Marco Esposito sitting there already having a view. Luis Salvatore sat down beside him calmly and asked.
"So are you excited about the game?"
Marco Esposito replied in a sarcastic tone.
"No, I am just praying to God that your idea doesn't get backfired and cost the team."
After that answer, Luis Salvatore didn't say a word and simply focused on the game. Both teams stood on the field as a gesture to the fans in the stadium, showing respect to them, Ale Piola standing on the pitch side in front of his respective technical area the opponent's football team coach approached him and shook hands with him as a sign of respect before starting of the game. Ale Piola shook hands and showed respect to him. After that Ale Piola looked at his dugout and he got concerned when he didn't see Paulo there.
He was looking back in the tunnel to see where was Paulo and when Ale didn't see him he goes back towards the tunnel of the stadium to look out for Paulo. Before Ale could enter the tunnel surprisingly Paulo came in front of him. Ale was stunned a little bit at that moment later he questioned Paulo about his whereabouts.
"Where were you, Paulo? why it took you so long?"
Paulo answered.
"Umm... Coach, I was a bit nervous when I saw the stadium filled with so many fans so I went to the washroom before entering the pitch."
Ale felt strange and awkward after listening to his justification but he ignored it and told Paulo to wear that scrimmage vest(bip) kept on the drinks storage box. Paulo agreed and went straight to the drinks storage box, picked up that scrimmage vest and wore it. Paulo later sat down on the bench of the dugout and made himself comfortable there on his seat. Both teams then shook their hands as a sign of respect and sportsmanship, the visiting team Bologna F.C made the move, and their captain Leonardo Carvahlo lead the team and shook hands one by one, each player of Parma C.F starting eleven.
After the handshakes, Bologna F.C went straight to the middle of the ground so as did the Parma C.F players as well, meanwhile, the captains of both teams Cilo Eincho and Leonardo Carvahlo were with the match referees for the toss. The match referee was having the coin in his hand, before the toss Cilo Eincho and Leonardo Carvahlo again a handshake but that handshake wasn't as respectful and friendly as before, it was more like a competitor after that, the referee asked Cilo Eincho.
"Cilo Eincho do you take the opportunity of choosing the side of the coin or do you pass this opportunity to the visitors?"
Cilo Eincho replied.
"I will pass this opportunity to the visitors today."
That gesture from him somewhere made Leonardo Carvahlo a little bit of admiration for him. The referee then asked Leonardo.
"So, Leonardo! what do you choose?"
Leonardo answered.
"I choose heads."
The referee again conformed to him.
"Are you sure, you choose heads, is this your final decision?"
Leonardo replied to him with a yes. The referee then flipped the coin in the air and snapped it between his hands, he opened his hands to see the result, and after seeing he said.
"Congratulations Leonardo, you won the toss, it is head so which side do you choose?"
To which Leonardo replied.
"I choose this right side of the pitch."
The referee then asked.
"Ok, to attack or to defend?"
Leonardo replied.
"To attack."
After Leonardo's decisions, he told Cilo Eincho.
"Ok, Cilo! this left side of the pitch is your side in the first half and you have to defend first, in the second half both teams will switch sides, alright?"
Both Cilo Eincho and Leonardo nodded their heads to reply after that the match referee wished both the captains all the best and told them that now they both can take their positions, Cilo Eincho and Leonardo handshake the match referee and went to their respective positions, Cilo Eincho goes to the central defensive midfield position and Leonardo to his striker position, Cilo was clapping and cheering his teammates telling them to go to their respective positions and Leonardo was standing in the centre spot with the ball being already placed there for the kick-off.
