The Salernitana fans (only two of whom were present last night against Frosinone) have known for some time that their fate was sealed and the 3-0 defeat suffered by the Granata team at the Stirpe last night against Frosinone has given them the mathematical certainty that next year they will be playing in Serie B.
And in this regard it is worth mentioning the fireworks that exploded yesterday evening in the nearby Castellammare di Stabia where the derby is expected given the promotion to the second division of the Juve Stabia who this afternoon at the Menti will receive the promotion cup from the League in the last match of the Serie C championship in a packed Romeo Menti stadium.
But to return to the Salernitana even in Frosinone the first victory of this 2024 of Salernitana did not arrive. Pitiless numbers for the granata with only 3 draws, with the 0-0 in Turin, the 1-1 in Udine and the 2-2 at home against Sassuolo, among 13 defeats.
The last success remains, therefore, the 1-0 in Verona on December 30, which is one of only two clean sheets of the season. The total number of goals conceded has risen to 73. In the first 34 games of the season in over a hundred years of football in Salerno, the Granata defense had never conceded so many. The previous negative record is the 71 goals conceded in 2021-22. With 2 wins, 9 draws and 23 defeats, this Salernitana remains at 15 points: by far the worst in history.
After 34 games, the Granata had won 38 both in 1947-48, recalculating the score with the current three points for the victory, and in 1998-99. Last season, Ippocampo was at 35 points while in 2021-22 the points were 26. And the possibility of beating the negative record of Serie A, the only 18 points won by Pescara in 2016-17, is getting closer and closer.
