Andrea De Pellegrin
The two clubs compete for the 2004 exterior of the San Giorgio Sedico. “And to think that this year I didn’t think of playing in D”
From his debut in D at the age of 16 to the days on trial in Bologna and Monza. Andrea De Pellegrin is one of the most interesting prospects of the new Belluno Dolomites. He had to face the 2020 – 2021 vintage in the regional Allievi of San Giorgio Sedico, but in an amen he found himself catapulted into the first team. The weekly sessions were not enough, on the unforgettable 6 January 2021 for him here is his debut as a starter in Montebelluna, in a delicate challenge in a key to salvation. From then on, the technician Tiozzo trusted him in other circumstances, including pieces and other number 10 jerseys. Not even trivial as a number to carry on the shoulders.
“And to think that I would not have even imagined training with the big players, let alone play in D”, comments De Pellegrin. Sedicense and arrived last summer from Belluno, he proved to be the classic example of coem, sometimes for young people it is enough just to trust.
«Mister Tiozzo risked a lot. He could have chosen others, and instead he bet on me. I remember that in Montebelluna, before the game, I heard my name among the owners and for a moment I have to be bleached. In fact, Tiozzo himself told me: “Depe, are you okay?”. Several comrades spoke to me at that moment to encourage me, but I don’t really remember anything ».
It is not easy to see a 2004 take the field in a team at the time entangled in the deep relegation zone. And so, in the meantime, Bologna and Monza wanted to see him at work together with their peers in recent weeks. No contract or promise whatsoever, at least for the moment. At worst we will talk about it later.
«Beautiful and fun experiences. Different than usual. I consider myself lucky to have been able to see the professional world up close ».
The Dolomiti Bellunesi would be happy to count him among their ranks, also in view of the local imprint to be given to the team. But without clipping the wings for any flights in the big football
