Of course the road is very long, but Pordenone can hope

The victory with Alessandria gave other positive notes in addition to the points. Classification not impossible, defense “on the rise”: now we need continuity

PORDENONE. The road is still long, because the one taken two days ago is only the first step.

However, Pordenone yesterday woke up as it had dreamed of doing for some time. That is, with a win in your pocket. The three points won with Alessandria, the first of the season collected all together, have given back the smile and rekindled the enthusiasm in the neroverde home.

The performance was positive and, for the first time, Perisan celebrated a clean sheet in the fifteenth round of the championship. Not only that: the ranking has shortened and the play-outs are no longer a utopia.

The game with the Piedmontese was “all-in”: now or never. In case of defeat, in fact, the lizards would have slipped thirteen lengths from their rivals and from the play-offs-salvation.

Beyond the words of circumstance, a margin really too wide to fill. The match was worth everything and also for this reason, as admitted by coach Tedino himself, at the beginning the team was tense and could not express itself.

Yet, despite the start of the Alessandria brand, Pordenone came out, found the 1-0 goal with Pinato, was able to suffer in the first half and in the second half played an excellent match, legitimizing the affirmation with 2 -0 by Folorunsho, a footballer found like many others thanks to the coach’s work.

Pordenone is no longer the worst defense in the league alone: ​​this is already a step forward. With the three goals conceded by Benevento, Vicenza kept the Friulians company (30 conceded centers), who remained on the other side with the worst attack (12 goals scored) but only one goal away from Crotone. The Perisan clean sheet should not be overlooked either.

For fourteen matches in a row, fifteen including the one played in the Italian Cup with Spezia, the goalkeeper had collected at least one ball that ended up behind him.

In Lignano, two days ago, no and he also made interventions of capital importance: for him another important performance after the one with Frosinone, which ended definitively the difficult period experienced in the matches with Como, Cremonese and Brescia.
The team has reached Vicenza in the standings – it is no longer last by itself, therefore – and has reached a point behind Crotone, a group that it will face on Saturday 18 December after having faced Benevento (in two days) and Cosenza, this team. the last one who would now play the play-outs with Alexandria (Saturday 11): in the next three weeks there is a lot at stake and the group can still get there “alive”.

Definitely revitalized, he must now continue to keep his foot pressed on the accelerator and, having unlocked at home, he must now do so away, where the affirmation has been lacking since last February 9 (3-1 at Mazza with Spal). The match in Benevento may seem prohibitive, but the meeting with Frosinone taught that points can be won in any field: at the Stirpe Pordenone nearly won outnumbered.

It will be difficult to keep the tension high, but there is no alternative. The time lost was a lot. The points to be recovered are many, but now the team sees some red lights of the rivals at the end of the tunnel
