The Slovenian born in 2000 was one of the most incisive in Agordo’s debut. “Happy with my inclusion in the team and I’m even closer to home”
Friendlies count for fairness, we know. All the more so if the one on Sunday, which ended in the goleada against Agordina, pitted two teams four categories apart, as well as a different number of days of preparation.
But something at Ivano Dorigo in Agordo has been seen in terms of indications. For example, the desire to do well of Kristjan Vodopivec, who arrived a bit surprisingly close to the start of the preparation and destined to become a precious element to reinforce the staff of the Belluno Dolomites. Everyone hopes for it, starting with the coach Renato Lauria, who fielded the Slovenian boy of 2000 in the role of attacking midfielder behind Corbanese and De Paoli.
He also entered the scorer, just not to miss anything. A lot of movement without the ball, interesting ideas and the desire to win a shirt as a starter, when it counts.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Vodopivec tells how the position behind the strikers is «something new. Usually I have always moved as a midfielder, but during training the coach is trying me there and I must say that I like it. And if you assist in front of a player like Corbanese, who always scores, everything is easier. I feel happy, and more generally I’m getting along really well both with my teammates and with the whole environment of the Belluno Dolomites ».
The Nova Gorica player is in his third year in Italy, after wearing the uniforms of Sorrento and Matese, also in Serie D.
«They were both good experiences, to remember with pleasure. Sorrento is an important square, inserted in that season in a not bad group including other formations of a certain importance such as Foggia. With Matese, on the other hand, we played in the playoff semifinal, even after such a so-so start. And now I’m starting the year here in the Belluno area ».
OCCASION
The existing market negotiations seemed to lead him to some team in Southern Italy, thanks to a greater knowledge of his technical profile by the insiders of the southern groups. Then the unexpected call from the Dolomites.
“This opportunity undoubtedly came as a surprise and I decided to accept. As I repeat, at the moment I am happy with my inclusion here. By the way, I am undoubtedly closer to my home in Slovenia than before. The fundamental aspect, however, is to obtain good results at the team level when the official commitments start ».
Vodopivec has every intention of making its contribution to making this happen.
