Pavia, two difficult trips “We need more concentration”

Luca Bargiggia: “If we have lost points on the road it is due to our demerit” Verbano, Sunday’s opponent, has the same figures as the Azzurri in the standings

PAVIA

The match on Sunday in Besozzo (Varese) for Pavia is a delicate one. After the two victories in the same first days of the championship, the spoils for Mr. Omar Albertini’s team are two points in the 3 subsequent games played. The draws with Sestese and Club Milano and in the middle the defeat of Castano Primo. Results that made the Azzurri slide to sixth place, with 8 points, out of the provisional play-off area and -4 from leaders Castanese.

After five days the road is still long but Pavia cannot afford to leave other points on the road, losing further ground from the high areas. And the calendar does not help Ottonello and his companions. Two tricky consecutive away matches are now planned with Verbano and Vergiatese. Tenders where answers are needed, waiting for any market news. «We had a great start with the two victories in a row – commented Luca Bargiggia, Pavia midfielder adapted in this initial phase to a right defensive side -. We then lost points on the road in the three races that followed. And certainly more for our demerits than for the merits of the opponents we have faced. Above all, we have to work on certain aspects that we have been missing. Certainly during the races. Also on Sunday when we broke the deadlock in the first half final a minute later we suffered a draw for Club Milano. In Castano Primo, on the other hand, when we had achieved parity there too we let our opponents put in numerical superiority and gave Castanese the 2-1 goal. Certainly mental and technical aspects. They are carelessness ».

Responses expected from these two trips that must demonstrate a sign of maturity of Pavia and growth in both management and results.

«From the first match we always tried to take the field with the right mentality, that of wanting to win – underlines Bargiggia -. Then every game we can eventually win it, draw it or, if it goes badly, even lose it. But the spirit is to get the 3 points both against the first and the last in the standings ».

Verbano who presents himself to the match against Pavia with the same numbers as the Azzurri. 8 points won in 5 matches, the result of two wins and two draws and one defeat, and also the same goal numbers as the Azzurri: 8 facts and 7 conceded. Like the formation of mister Albertini, the only defeat of Verbano came from Castanese who won 3-1 away. Besozzo’s team hired two Under-class 2000 defenders in October: Christian Piagni, former San Giuliano City (Serie D) and Luca Thomas Icardi (2000) former Castellazzo Bormida (Piedmontese excellence). For years in Excellence Verbano has been coached by Sergio Galeazzi. In defense there is a former young player of Pavia Alessio Scognamiglio (2000) who was launched in the First team in D by the then blue coach Omar Nordi. –
