Catanzaro, The curse of the draw: 6 games and 6 equal in Serie B

The antidote to the draw is rare goods and at the moment that cannot be found. Alberto Aquilani knows this well, after for the umpteenth time his Catanzaro has stumbled in the result without losers or winners: “We have to accept the fact that six points are few, that six draws are too many”.
