Pordenone in Crotone for a new overtaking

Leaving the last place, the neroverdi want to move up the rankings again. Tedino: “Maximum attention from start to finish”

PORDENONE. If even with the policy of small steps the flame of hope is nourished, then after leaving the last place, the idea of ​​abandoning the penultimate also has a special meaning. Bruno Tedino’s Pordenone tries, confronting himself with the team with which he currently shares a point of advantage over Vicenza, the Cinderella of the tournament.

It is played at the Scida stadium, a warm environment even in times of limited capacity, which will try to push Crotone towards a success that is missing from the surprising 2-1 over leaders Pisa in mid-October. Since that victory, unfortunately illusory for the rossoblu colors, there have been eight defeats in nine games.

And a reversal on the bench, or rather two: from Francesco Modesto to Pasquale Marino, and back. That’s right, because the former has regained his place in these hours, “laughing” with the scorching defeat of the Italian Cup in Udine. But the goal, of course, is another: to save Crotone. And from this point of view, today’s match has a very different value compared to the match at the Friuli stadium.

Pordenone is warned. And Bruno Tedino is aware of this: «When you change coach, attention increases. And also the reasons. I expect a very intense competitive competition. We will have to show that at least they have the same desire to win. Indeed more”.

Trying to fix those defects that still prevent the neroverde team from believing with even greater conviction in the mission of salvation. Tedino points out some of them, hoping to exorcise them: «We must be more cynical and concrete not only under the net, but also in the defensive phase.

And also pay attention to the opening and closing minutes of the match: key moments that still sometimes we do not face as we should ». The veiled reference is to the two points thrown to the wind with Cosenza, due to an expulsion and a goal conceded in the last quarter of an hour.

Woe to repeat itself in a delicate and important challenge such as today, even if Tedino tries to dampen the tension: “A direct confrontation like others, which is giving away three points”.

Chiaroscuro news from the infirmary. There is no El Kaouakibi. While retrieving Folorunsho. Although perhaps not from the start. Magnino could pull back on the right, with Petriccione or Zammarini in the middle. At the center of the attack the newfound Butic still favorite on Tsadjout. Speaking of bomber: the promising Mulattieri, owned by Inter, will be missing on the other side. One less pitfall for green lizards. But they will not miss the same.
