Prosecutor Francioni analyzes the moves on the green-black market. “Kupisz would be a great blow to reinforce the right wing”
Federico Francioni, Fifa agent of Grado, former player of the lizards, has no doubts: Pordenone, so far, have made a good market. “He is building a racing team with a physical structure: to save himself in Serie B, the path is the right one,” he said, then commenting on some individual operations and the club’s willingness to bet all its chips on Davide Diaw’s return. (from Monza).
Francioni, let’s start from this last aspect: the management wants to do everything to bring the forward from Cividale back to De Marchi.
«It is a choice that I share. The boy knows the environment very well, having already played in it in the first round of the previous championship. It is a square where he knows he can make the most of. We are talking about a striker who has between 15 and 18 goals in the barrel: taking him back would be a really great blow ».
Even at the cost of sacrificing Patrick Ciurria? There is also the hypothesis of an exchange with Monza with an adjustment in favor of the neroverdi.
«The“ Fante ”was the best player of the group last season, he did very well. The ideal would obviously be to start from him and Davide in attack. Thus would come out a pair of absolute thickness. Of course, you have to keep an eye on the costs, and if his sacrifice can lead to the return of Diaw, why not? Pordenone may also ask Monza for a sum of money as well as Diaw himself ».
Surely with one of these two tips Mr. Paci would sleep peacefully. By the way, what do you think of the new lizard coach?
«I do not know him personally and I have not closely followed Teramo in the last vintage. Everyone spoke well of him, who is part of a generation of coaches who live for football, studying and updating continuously. For him it will be his debut in Serie B, he is hungry and motivated. As a footballer he was a leader: he can do well. I am sure that Pordenone has chosen carefully. That neroverde is a company that weighs its choices ».
The first signing, back in February, was Davis Mensah, Triestina’s offensive side.
«He never played among the cadets, but in C he always stood out. With Paci’s 4-4-2 he can have his say as a left-handed winger: he has great running and physicality and, if he starts from the bench, he has what it takes to be a tactical weapon. He has to improve technically: from his side he is a humble and intelligent boy ».
In the opposite lane, Tomasz Kupisz from Salernitana would be arriving. What do you think?
«For a club like Pordenone this is a great blow. He went up to Serie A as a protagonist and for the role of right side in midfield he is a certainty ».
Behind him, as a right-back, will play Hamza El Kaouakibi, about to move from Bologna to the green lizards after a season in C in Alto Adige. Could it be the surprise of the team?
«It can be seen as a bet but only for those unfamiliar with the Lega Pro: sideways like that, with its aerobic abilities and its physical impact, there aren’t any. He is 23 years old and for me his prospect is Serie A. He needs to grow in terms of ball management, however he is an excellent player, with a future. The right chain of the neroverdi promises to be very interesting: to fight for salvation it is excellent ».
By the way, can Paci’s line-up remain in the category?
«Yes, also in terms of how it is moving from a market point of view. The management has clear ideas and it shows. We take into account that the negotiations are only at the beginning and so far the technical area has made rational and intelligent choices. The backbone of the group is already there: now we need to sign a thick midfielder as well as a cup of forwards. I am confident, I see an eleven “running”, with centimeters. Then, as always, the field will have its say “.–
