BELLUNO
Two teams that do not hide top ambitions, even winking at a possible championship victory. That’s why the first historic trip to the Belluno Dolomites is one of the very, very interesting ones. Today the “blancos” are guests of Luparense, in San Martino di Lupari, with kick-off at 3 pm. The Paduans started by drawing in Caldiero and Stefano Zarattini, protagonist of the golden years of Luparense football, is presiding. 5. Now he wants to go professional with 11-a-side football, thus placing himself behind his neighbors Cittadella and Padova.
But the Dolomites are of little or no interest to this. The three points obtained against Levico require continuity, especially since Arzignano will be there on Saturday. To reach full points in the big match would be, as they say in these cases, “a lot of stuff”.
“Let’s go and visit one of the best equipped teams in the group”, admits Renato Lauria without too many words, referring to those Wolves in which three recent famous faces also play, such as the former San Giorgio Sedico Plechero and Boron and also Episcopo, former Union Feltre playmaker always loved by verdegranata fans. The latter, however, is injured and will not be in the match: «Their main characteristic is linked to the undoubted qualities they possess in the midfield and in attack. They know how to change the inertia of the game with a play, and this turns out to be an advantage especially in the most tactically blocked challenges ».
For his part, the coach knows what to ask of the Dolomites: «Aggressiveness, determination, maximum attention and running more than them. In the cup and in the league we struggled to get into the game immediately and we always talk about this. It is not really possible to wait twenty minutes and only then begin to impose our game. We need to be there immediately, especially if you have certain opponents in front of you ».
Beyond this situation to improve, the rest seems to comfort Lauria. «We are growing and the data at our disposal proves it. However, we still have a long way to go, but the boys show the right spirit day after day ».
In the end, Dario Teso will not be risked, whose debut in the league is therefore postponed to the match against Arzignano on Saturday. Likely the new job at the center of Tibolla’s rearguard, even if a lot will depend on the disposition of the defense: three or four? «For sure I ask the team to be able to interpret more solutions. The form depends on how you can enhance the characteristics of those who go on the field, but also on how the opponents are arranged ».
For the rest, Rubbi’s winger is still late in condition, while Cossalter and Trevisan are now ready. Their use will be conditioned by how much time they have in their legs. Finally, between the posts we go towards the confirmation of Lombardi.
