The new blue acquisition: “I live in Montebolone and being able to wear my hometown jersey is a great opportunity”
PAVIA
The blue of Ac Pavia 1911 in the next season will speak more and more Pavia. The negotiation given in the home straight for the engagement of the defensive winger Christian Negri (born in 2000) was made official yesterday by the Via Alzaia club. A native of Pavia, since he lives in Pavia in Montebolone and has grown up in recent years in city clubs and in the nearby Accademia Pavese, and knows very well the new Pavia coach Omar Albertini who has had him for two and a half years, the last few months to the Alcione with which he won the group B of Excellence going up to D. “There were some proposals to play in Serie D but when there is the possibility of playing for the team of your city like Pavia, which wants to relaunch itself as it is right that it is for the square and the fans, and with a coach I had for two and a half years I had no doubts, ”Negri said.
In terms of football, his first steps as a baby footballer took them to San Leonardo all’ora Odb, then the transition to the Ticinum in via Scarenzio. “With the Ticinum-Sant’Alessio merger in the Accademia Pavese I wore nine seasons, between youth and first team in this club, the last two in Excellence with Omar Albertini as coach – tells about his career in youth football from Pavia the new winger 2000 of Pavia -. From Sant’Alessio I then landed in Lodi al Fanfulla in D: the first season unfortunately stopped in the middle when we were third due to the outbreak of the Covid epidemic and this year I was still there at the beginning, but then in March I moved to Alcione for the restart of the championship of Excellence, at the request of Mr. Albertini, with whom we won the championship of Excellence ».
With the block of the Under vintages such as 2000 (together with 2001 and 2002) then Negri will be one of the pawns that Pavia will be able to field as a starter in the starting eleven and certainly with a lot of experience between D and Excellence despite the young age and with a tactically ductile use. «I am a right-footed player but they have always used me as a left back-winger while Mr. Albertini also did it as a midfielder. What today is called a flexible player »says Christian Negri. Is it clear that there is a goal in Pavia? «It is superstitious to say that after the promotion with Alcione… ..you have understood it – jokes the class of 2000 -. Surely the club is setting up a competitive group to ensure that Pavia can have its say for an important championship, at the top, and finally we hope, after the last two “normal” seasons with a first leg and a complete return ». –
