Spring awakenings. Even if the grass is that of plastic in the field of the 53rd Infantry, at least the football shirts have left the cupboards of the «La Marmora» warehouse to be worn again by the La Biellese players. A training session and a small match with the family, two halves of thirty minutes each to quickly find the race pace in view of the resumption of the ten-game mini-Excellence which will start on Sunday 11 April. «An hour of play – says the coach Alberto Rizzo – to find the race pace after all these months of stoppage. It is clear that it will take some time, but this will apply to all the teams in the group ». A fact that makes you feel comfortable also because of the work done at home by individual players during the forced closure of activities. «We must applaud these guys who have committed themselves by sending the digital report of their session to our athletic trainers each time – continues Rizzo – who have always been able to evaluate the situation. I myself, and I said it to them too, as a footballer I don’t know if I would have had all that strength, that drive to train in solitude ». Also because football is anything but loneliness.
Eleven players on one side, eleven on the other, Rizzo shuffled the cards in the match that ended in the 60 ‘on a score of 1-1, goals from Kambo and Artiglia. «I always try to balance the two teams in these conditions so that a comparison that is interesting as well as fun for everyone can arise. We have always applied our 4-3-3 and I must say that my satisfaction is really great ». Also thanks to the online lessons that the team has sustained in recent months. “I explained to them with videos and demonstrations how this type of module can be interpreted as I understand it and I must say that I have found automatic and interesting improvements, a sign that the blackboard, images and field have helped us to grow also in this respect” . This week three more training sessions, in a row from today to Thursday, and then on Saturday again on the pitch. While waiting to know if you can make friendly matches, only teams of Excellence in activity, but an eleven of the other group compared to that of the Bianconeri is targeted, otherwise Rizzo will repeat the experiment as it is.
