Pavia, Andolfo’s day “A team with quality must regain morale”

The new coach yesterday conducted his first training session «Great availability of all. Now 10 games to rise again “

PAVIA

First day of work as the new coach of Pavia for Fabio Andolfo. The 53-year-old coach from Vigevano returned to Fortunati where he had led the Italian junior national team two seasons ago. Yesterday the presentation to the team and then the session at the Mascherpa. Andolfo, to tell the truth, has already seen Pavia several times from the stands. Attending, in recent weeks, the recovery match with Varzi at Chiappano and the home match against Vergiatese.

«I am convinced that we need to work on the group, first of all, to then highlight the individualities of this team which I believe exist, as I have been able to see in some races – explains ndolfo -. There are ten games available to get us out of this situation, starting with the difficult match on Sunday against leaders Varesina. Which in my opinion has the best squad in the group and therefore can be considered the favorite for the final victory, but other teams also have excellent potential to fight for promotion to D. However, one figure is enough to say how much an opponent deserves. the first place in the standings: so far he has lost only once in 19 races ».

The staff also changes

With the arrival of Andolfo, the technical staff also changes: his collaborators are Michele Incerto and Francesco Tam, while Alessandro Ruocco, Fiorito’s deputy after having been coach of the regional juniores, is no longer part of the technical area of ​​the first team. The goalkeeper coach Alessio Locatelli and the athletic Massimo Ghioldi remain on the staff.

Coach Andolfo’s first day of work began yesterday half an hour after 3pm, the time for a confrontation and getting to know the players in the locker room. Then the training at Mascherpa with technical-tactical exercises, a team divided into two groups. “I am satisfied – the Vigevano coach said at the end – I found great availability and professionalism on the part of the team: a positive attitude to start off on the right foot”. Today new session (while with Fiorito Thursday was usually a day of rest). It will then be decided whether the finishing will take place on Friday or Saturday. –
