“Pavia, steps forward that encourage” Fiorito sees positive

The coach after Rho’s 1-1 draw: “We could also have won in a well-played match despite the many absences”

PAVIA

«In Rho we got an important draw, for the classification and even more for the attitude shown by the team». Giuseppe Fiorito thus analyzes his second match on the Pavia bench, noting the many absences in the blue lines for the match against Rhodense.

Fiorito’s analysis

«In the first half we played for a good half hour, arranged well on the pitch against an opponent who gives his best at home, he also beat leaders Castanese 1-0 – explains the Pavia coach -. After immediately gaining their advantage at the start of the second half, we did well, after about ten minutes of skidding, to play a tactically orderly race and try to make up for the disadvantage. We deservedly drew and tried in the final even with the right attitude, to try to go and win it and almost went 2-1, but their goalkeeper raised Cirigliano’s close header over the bar. This courage, this will is the right attitude that we must have. And we did it in a complicated race right from the start due to the many forfeits. We played without Bargiggia, disqualified, and Ottonello in midfield, without Della Volpe at the center of the defense, sidelined by a gastrointestinal virus. Our bench is not long, but we were able to make do, whoever played did well and this encourages us for the future ».

Next Sunday Pavia will host Ardor Lazzate at Fortunati to try to extend the positive streak in this final of 2021. Fiorito will be able to get back in the middle of the Bargiggia field, while Ottonello will be available only after the Christmas break (it is useless to force recovery due to a stretch , risking losing it again). Della Volpe will also return to the center of defense, a department in which the young class 20021 Di Bartolo has proposed as an alternative to the owners, thanks to the convincing evidence of Rho, while in midfield the new acquisition Scognamiglio should also be usable, not deployed in Rho for failure to transfer from Termoli. More solutions for the starting eleven, but also with the match in progress, therefore, for Pavia which continues to probe the market in search of an attacker, which remains the main objective. –
