the character

The prolonged stop in the championship, due to the increase in infections for Covid, has upset the training programs of the various teams. The confirmation comes from Federico Pinto, athletic trainer of Vogherese: «Initially it was planned to play on January 6th, and we were preparing for that date. Then there were various postponements, up to the last decision of the resumption set for 23. It is clear that these calendar variations involve a different training schedule and the difficulty is precisely that of establishing the work to be done in relation to the date. restart. Taking advantage of this break from official matches, we have increased the workload, even if it is not a preparation comparable to the summer one. The closer we get to the match, the more we shorten the distances to cover in training ».

He has been with the Rossoneri for two seasons

Pinto, 32, has been at Voghe for two seasons, first he had worked in Pavia, alongside Mr. Pato D’Amico, and later at Nibbiano Valtidone. In addition to his commitment to Voghe, he works as a personal trainer at the Aquae Campus in Pavia: «In football I like the human relationship that is established with the players and the technical staff. I insist a lot on the importance of daily work, then on Sunday we collect what has been done during the week. I’m fine at Voghe, the club doesn’t make us miss anything. With Mr. Giacomotti, but also before with Tomasoni, there is harmony and the players work well. Some are more incentivized to physical work, others more technically gifted, but I must say that the whole group responds positively to job offers ». Covid has also stopped Pinto, who has been in solitary confinement in his home for a week, and leads Voghe’s sessions remotely: «I’m at home, but I’m fine. In a few days, I will finish quarantine and plan to return to the field. In the meantime, I sent all the programs to Mr. Giacomotti, we talk to him and the staff on a daily basis ». From the point of view of the general condition, Pinto is convinced that Voghe can quickly regain her polish: «Luckily we have always trained, I believe that the team can acquire the match pace in a short time. We have also set up some friendlies during this break just so as not to lose the habit of playing ». –
