Rea on young talents: ready for Serie B, not just the youth setup
Angelo Rea, Cesena legend and now manager of Tommaso Berti, discusses the need to give top Primavera players minutes in Serie B. Meanwhile, the Romagna club seeks redemption after Benevento's defeat.
Cesena archives its first seasonal defeat without much conviction. The away trip to Benevento, where Floro Flores' side showed defensive organization, exposed tactical and interpretative weaknesses in Castori's squad. The initial lineup disappointed even the head coach, who made corrections before halftime.
Angelo Rea, a veteran of the historic Lumezzane expedition and now partner at RS Management alongside Tommaso Berti and others, contributes perspective in this context. Speaking on Onda Bianconera podcast, Rea stressed that top Primavera talents deserve to test themselves in Serie B, rather than remaining confined to youth competitions. A position reflecting a broader vision on how to develop Italian prospects.
Cesena returns to action on Sunday at the Manuzzi against Avellino, knowing that the subsequent trip to Modena represents a far tougher examination. Continuity, tactical discipline and the search for a true playmaker remain urgent priorities.
