Pordenone is ready to drop the jolly Barison

The defender, on his return, guarantees solidity and a few goals. On Monday the presale for Saturday’s match against Ascoli starts

PORDENONE. There is still almost a week before the expected return to the pitch of Tedino’s Pordenone, Saturday at Teghil with Ascoli, but at the moment the good news from the infirmary is scarce. Few hopes of seeing Bassoli again, almost none of recovering Tsadjout.

And the gap left on the right by the disqualification of El Kaouakibi must be filled.

Defense is the department most penalized. Not exactly ideal, considering that Pordenone “boasts” the worst rear guard of the tournament with 27 goals conceded in 12 matches. However, something changed with the advent of Bruno Tedino.

Not only do they say the excellent performances that brought the draws with Pisa and Cremonese as a dowry, but also the change of course compared to the very unedifying trend that wanted the neroverdi to proceed with the average of about three goals taken per game (22 in 8 days).

With the new coach, in fact, the deficit has narrowed: 5 goals conceded in 4 games, or an average of just over one per game.

That clean sheet, aka game without a goal on the passive, which is missing even from the last day of last season (May 10), when at Teghil Pordenone bent Cosenza 2-0, taking victory and salvation, could therefore not be so far away. Of course, however, that absences do not help. Already full the neroverdi would have their difficulties, let alone with a halved department.

The consolation, not just for Mr. Tedino and the neroverdi fans, could be called Alberto Barison. The defender is the only one who seems to be about to resume his place in the middle of the back pack, after having cleared up the injury that has been keeping him away from the playing fields for three games.

Released after less than an hour in Pisa, he had to skip the challenges with Como, Cremonese and Brescia. His return could prove invaluable from a double point of view: contributing to the growth of the defensive phase and also improving the subnet statistics.

Do not forget, in fact, that the former central of Bassano sees very well the opponent’s goal: 6 in total the centers achieved in the previous two tournaments in Serie B with the black-green jersey.

And the same number of goals scored during the Serie C championship which ended with the historic promotion to B. In this season, between technical choices and injuries, he had just 5 opportunities (including two segments) and so his scoring score is still dry.

Ascoli arrives on Saturday (from tomorrow at 3 pm the presale of tickets online and in the usual authorized resales will start) and reviving those statistics would be nothing short of appropriate. To go back to reviewing salvation.
