On Sunday the San Vito goalkeeper will find the team with which he made his debut in neroverde on October 17 in Lignano. His growth has been steady and the company has repaid him by extending his contract until 2024
PORDENONE. Almost a year has passed, the opponent is the same. And on Sunday 29 August, when he will face it, he will only be able to evoke pleasant memories. With Spal, on October 17, 2020, Samuele Perisan’s career restarted. The goalkeeper from San Vito, just turned 24, made his debut with the Pordenone shirt but, above all, played his first official match after almost two years.
He took the field for the last time on 8 December 2018, when he defended Padova’s posts in Serie B in the match against Palermo. Since then, three benches with the biancoscudati and the role of third goalkeeper with Udinese. Last autumn the “rebirth”, the starting point: since then he has become a solid number one, with a Serie A perspective. It is no coincidence that Cagliari has already taken information about him.
Maturation
Perisan has once again become an important player on the banks of the Noncello. The management of the neroverde club decided in the summer market of 2020 to give him an important opportunity. It was not easy, at the time, to make this choice: to entrust this goal to a player who has been inactive for so long, even more so if the predecessor was Michele Di Gregorio, the best goalkeeper in Serie B of 2019-2020.
The Pordenone has trusted and has been rewarded: in 34 league matches, the professional from San Vito has put personality into it and is reliable. To frame the second round match against breaking latest news: his saves made it possible to snatch a point, decisive at that moment for the team that, in terms of results, was experiencing a moment of crisis.
His growth was significant, which led Pordenone to propose the extension of his contract until 2024. A further year was added to the existing bond, which expired in 2023. The club, which hired him on a free transfer. from Udinese, he aimed to lock him down.
Next summer, if the player progresses further, we will see what to do. It is not excluded that he could go and do the “second” in a Serie A club: it would be another step in his professional career. And for the green lizards the possibility of recording a capital gain.
Holder
On the occasion of the Perugia goal last Saturday, perhaps he could have done a little more. But with Spezia, Perisan was one of the best in the field: if it hadn’t been for his interventions, the game could have ended with a heavier passive than the 3-1 gained on the pitch. In 90 ‘, both between the posts and in the exits, he proved to be there.
He just has to continue: on the part of the coach, Massimo Paci, and of the club, he has the utmost confidence. Nobody doubted him for a single moment. Meanwhile, on Sunday, Spal will be in front of him and it will be normal that, in his mind, the match of almost a year ago rebounds: the thrill of commanding the defense again, of a dip in an official match, feeling alive and the fact of being a footballer in all respects.
It is no small feat, especially for a goalkeeper, who has to elbow harder than normal players to get the place. –
