The mayor encourages green-and-blacks, struggling with Covid and accidents: «A limited outbreak, it doesn’t worry me. And salvation will come ”
PORDENONE. Twelve positive team members at Covid, seven injured players (including three “in recovery”, but certainly not in top form), a worrying ranking, with the team finished on the threshold of the play-out after having collected six defeats in the ten games played so far in the second round, skipping the last at home with Pisa precisely because of the outbreak of the outbreak.
A complicated situation, to say the least, that Pordenone football is experiencing, even if as of yesterday he was able to resume group training. The break for the national teams, in any case, comes as a godsend: it will help, this is the hope, to face calmly and effectively not only physical problems, but also psychological ones. And in this sense the message of support from the mayor Alessandro Ciriani is undoubtedly helpful.
Mayor, the green lizards put under fire by so many “enemies” all together had not been seen for some time …
“True, it is a hard time, of which the main component is undoubtedly bad luck. For this we must appeal to the Pordenone star, to the pride of the team, to the spirit of redemption that the boys have always shown and that, I’m sure, they will be able to pull off again. I agree with honorary president Zuzzi: the team can easily save itself in Serie B this year and I am sure it will succeed. It is only necessary to overcome this period. Certainly we as the city of Pordenone and as fans have the duty to express the utmost closeness to the team, to instill courage in it. Unfortunately we can only do it virtually, not being able to go to the stadium or meet the neroverdi ».
As a mayor, are you not worried about the Covid outbreak that exploded at the De Marchi sports center?
“Honestly no. In the sense that my fear is not certain that the epidemic will explode again from De Marchi throughout our territory. The data of the health emergency in the city are compatible with those of last week and absolutely encouraging when compared to those of other provinces. The tracking and isolation system has proven effective and we are confident it continues to be. The health authority of western Friuli has certainly taken steps to activate the appropriate procedures ».
Of course, such a “cluster” was not expected.
«Lately the average age of the infected has dropped significantly, and the Pordenone players are kids. Probably there was a sort of relaxation, the resumption of some habit that was not yet time to resume and the contagion has spread inside the locker room. I am confident that the isolation of the people concerned will soon solve the problem. Now it is important that all those who have come into contact with the infected are responsible, following the protocols scrupulously ».
Injuries and the latest results are other non-negligible problems. The green-and-black formation struggles to score tremendously.
«I hope the break will help put some players back on the field. The position in the standings fell quickly, we did not expect it after the splendid last championship. But I am convinced that it can soon be recovered. We have already met the “bigs”, I believe that the calendar can be lighter and the wheel will turn leaner … ».
What will be the weapon to aim for to get away from the danger zone?
«Without a doubt, Mister Tesser. Certainly I am not the one to discover the skill and charisma of a coach who has collected six hundred benches as a professional. We have had the opportunity several times to get to know his being a solid man with a straight back, I am convinced that he will be able to extract the best solutions from the cylinder to get the team back to run in the best way. He will be the one to make the difference ».
