The sports director takes stock of the situation and announces on the positives: “Some will return to training, it will be the first step towards normality”
PORDENONE. «A new mini-championship will start for us in Brescia. In which we will have to resume winning a positive result ». Emanuele Berrettoni, sporting director of Pordenone, thinks about next Friday’s commitment with the Lombards: a race in which his team, after the stop linked to the Covid-19 outbreak, will try to get back on the road also thanks to the probable return of a part of players completely healed after positivity. Between today and Monday “we expect to have more than a few players who are negative to the buffer and, therefore, can be recruited within the next 48 hours”.
Berrettoni, we see the light at the end of the tunnel: twelve positives, in addition to the injured, were a blow.
«In the short term, if everything works out the right way, after having passed the medical examination and the clearance some boys will be able to train again with their team-mates and be called up for the match in Brescia. A first step towards the return to normality. To these will be added some players returning from their respective injuries. We hope to have left the worst behind us ».
You will need to have all, or almost all, available: nine games await you in just over a month.
«The condition of those who will get back into the group may not be excellent, but it is a moment in which it will be necessary to grit our teeth and go further. I have no doubts: the team has never failed in this regard. Our emblem is Captain Stefani. When there is need, he always answers present ».
In Brescia, although not in ideal conditions, we need to get back to scoring points. Is this the first of nine finals?
«A new cycle is opening up for us. The previous one ended with the postponement of the match against Pisa. We must try to achieve a positive result with the forces at our disposal. We will need the spirit of Pordenone, combative, in which everyone is fighting for the same cause. This has always been and always must be our strength. The group, for a company like ours, will continue to make a difference ».
Three victories may be enough to save himself: at an altitude of 43, given the trend of those behind, he should find peace of mind. Agree?
“I don’t want to draw up tables, it’s not part of my way of thinking. We know that after the match against Brescia we will host Entella and, even on that occasion, we will try to get the most out of it. The team will get back all the players a little at a time but, above all, I am convinced that with the spirit seen in Empoli between now and May he will be able to have his say ».
