SERIEB by Flavio Nanut
The president of Pordenone, Mauro Lovisa, councilor of Lega B, was present in Ferrara. «Perugia is an ambitious and expert newly promoted – he commented -. We will have to be ready. In Lignano we want to resume that thread of positive results from the final part of last season.
We will then come right here to Ferrara with Spal, and after that there will be the national break: the first 180 minutes will be important, and then resume with Buffon’s Parma and visit the Cittadella, a club that we highly esteem. The calendar, from a first evaluation, seems to me to be substantially balanced. However, it will be a very high level Serie B, a B as I have been saying for weeks in A2 format: we are proud to be part of it and we want to be protagonists. On every field ».
In addition to the commitments of the national teams, they will stop from December 30th to January 14th. On 21 September, the first of six midweek matches, Pordenone will host Reggina, in the last one – on 5 April next year – it will be on stage at Fabio Grosso’s Frosinone. Home closing, as in the last championship, on 6 May. –
