De Leo in Belluno by … mistake “Dolomites ambitious project”

The midfielder arrived in the summer after Manzanese renounced the championship. “The Adriese is strong but we fear no one and we will play a great match”

It didn’t even have to be there, at the Belluno Dolomites. Without corporate chaos, the Manzanese would have regularly participated in the championship and Gianluca De Leo would have been the pivot around which to build another year of high rankings.

Instead, fate wanted the Friulians to take a step back at the beginning of September, with the consequent release of all members.

In the meantime, the Dolomites realized in the summer that they lacked a playmaker in the middle of the pitch, as well as another goalkeeper. In short, the player similar to Simone Bertagno was urgent, because in fact he didn’t really have anyone with those characteristics. So here are De Leo and Lombardi. And thank goodness, one might say. In the case of De Leo then, we can safely speak of one of the most influential players in the positive of the season of the “blancos” played up to now.

THANKS MESTRE

Merit of the year of apprenticeship in Mestre, under the guidance of the technician Zecchin who then wanted it in Manzano. Directed by the arancioneri in hand and the whole group applauding the boy born in 2002. The Dolomiti Bellunesi understood why.

«I’m happy with my good start to the season, but first and foremost it makes me happy to wear this shirt. We are talking about a very serious and ambitious project, which involves the whole province. Now the hope is to have less fluctuating results and to move up the rankings again ».

We’ll get to the team’s progress, but first it’s curious to ask De Leo the difference between Zecchin’s and Lauria’s requests.

«In the meantime, I will always thank Zecchin and Mestre for the trust placed in me last year, as basically I only came from experiences in the youth teams. I experienced a great opportunity for growth in a prestigious square. I think you need character and personality to play such a delicate role wearing a shirt as valuable as that of Mestre and I am pleased to have repaid the expectations. For the rest, they are two different and equally stimulating ways of playing. Last year the team was looking a lot for prolonged ball possession and a long construction of the action. Here at the Dolomites, on the other hand, we are set to aim for depth and verticalization ».

BATTERY THE ADDRESS

De Leo agrees on the need to beat Adriese on Sunday. After having obtained the three points with Ambrosiana and Montebelluna, we must aim to give continuity and above all to finally make a big voice with a top team of the tournament.

«We have played good games and others wrong, up to now. Maybe sometimes we didn’t deserve to lose, I’m thinking for example of Chioggia, but in any case the important thing is to limit any form of inattention as much as possible ».

Progress has already been seen against the Treviso players in this respect. Now the examination of the Rovigini, trained by Roberto Vecchiato.

«They are strong and in fact occupy the second position. They usually play with a 4-3-1-2 and make compactness and the immediate search for strikers their strong point. Having said that we do not fear anyone and it is our intention to play a great match on Sunday ».

ITALIAN CUP

Only Caldiero Terme remains in the meantime as the representative of group C in the Italian Cup. In fact, the Veronese beat Levico 3-2 on penalties, after 0-0 in regulation time. In the round of 16, scheduled for Wednesday 5 January, they will face Virtus Ciseranobergamo away. The Lombards, after eliminating Arzignano in the previous round, yesterday beat Delta Porto Tolle 2-0 away.
