A scruple assails me more and more often: I fear I have fallen, despite good intentions, among those afflicted by acute teledependence. I have always warned myself and others against such a risk, but this summer I verify that my personal presence in front of the television screens (fortunately no longer in front of the cameras) has become excessive. However, I think and hope to have good justifications because I was captured and captivated by the direct images of a period that gave sports fans moments of extraordinary interest and loads of emotions.
Of course, football had its strong influence with Mancini’s national team triumphing in the European Championship in the hope that it can now continue in the same way. But then there were the Olympics with moments of dragged emotional charge, and then the just concluded Paralympics with wonderful examples of touching and incisive personal stories, with the joyful participation of athletes capable of asserting themselves for their sporting virtues, above and beyond any inappropriate appreciation for one’s disability, overcome in an exemplary manner. But then to keep me awake (almost always) and anchored to the sofa, tennis with Italians in dust, the beloved cycling, even golf. Some respite due to the lack of propensity for the world of engines, out of an ancient personal habit.
In this overcrowded offer I have always found the time and the way to look at Udinese, even when playing friendly matches, however difficult it may be to draw judgments, given the well-known unreliability of matches in August and the like. I must say that I was satisfied with what I saw last Saturday in the race with the guys from the Dolomites, especially for the good impression that the young people sent to the field by Gotti left me. Of course, it is not the case to exaggerate in the praise and appreciation, but the technical qualities, the good predisposition to the chorality of the maneuver, the desire to insert the various Samardzics, perhaps the best, Soppy, Beto physically disruptive but at the same time agile. Some naivete on Perez’s part, but good willingness to fill more positions in defense.
In short, the hope is that Gotti, given the quality of the new players, will find himself able to design a Udinese with better potential, while the club rightly sees the possibility of profitable retracing the ancient policy of promoting young talents. With lots of capital gains. –
