Well. Let's get this party started.
A few "fun" facts about our opponents -
Rimini's colors:
Rimini is on the east coast, and if I'm not mistaken, is part of the Emilia-Romagna province in Italy. That means they're in the same regional "zone" (if you will) as Parma, Bologna, and Reggiana.
They play in the Stadio Romeo Neri, that holds a 10,000 capacity.
Rimini are a team on the rise...Coached by Leonardo Acori, he achieved promotion to Serie C1 in 2003, and it didn't take long for them to win the C1 B league, to achieve promotion to Serie B in 2005.
Leonardo Acori has a decent record with promoting teams, as he's promoted Gubbio and Sangiovannese both from Serie D to Serie C in the past. :smile:
Rimini narrowly escaped relegation last year by finishing 17th place @ 48 points in Serie B 2005/2006. So they've pretty much achieved last year's target, which was survival.
Their Captain is Gianluca Di Giulio who wears the #5 jersey. I think he's a defender. Here he's seen shaking hands with the Legendary Gianluca Pagliuca just before kick-off against Bologna, last season.
Their "star" player is Adrian Ricchiuti, from Argentina. Plays as an attacking midfielder, and has a commanding presence in the team. Like Di Giulio he's also serving in his 5th straight year with the club.
Matteo Brighi, is a native "Riminian". I'm not too sure if Arrigo Sacchi is also from that city in particular - if not, I know he's an "Emiliano" for sure.
EDIT (almost forgot)
Their star striker is Moscardelli -
