Tonight in Lignano another Serie A opponent (who will field the new center forward)
PORDENONE, It’s time for the last test, then it will get serious. Pordenone on Sunday 8 August closes its pre-season. It does so with a Serie A test in Lignano, where Sinisa Mihajlovic’s Bologna arrives on the occasion of the first memorial dedicated to Dario Fagotti (the start at 20.30). The coach Massimo Paci, in addition to launching the new acquisition Amato Ciciretti, will make the decisive test in view of the debut in the Italian Cup, scheduled for Friday 13 August – again at Teghil – with Spezia. For the neroverdi today is the first home outing of the season, the first with open doors in the littoral facility after ten months (last match on 24 October last). By the way: the sale of tickets continues online and in authorized resellers, as well as today at the stadium ticket office (only from 10 to 12 and from 14 to 18). The Green Pass is mandatory.
La Spezia on Friday, then Perugia on Saturday 21st (in Lignano) for the debut in the league. The Pordenone must increase the revs of its engine, in view of the next commitments and considering the month of work. Paci recognizes this aspect: «It is an important test for our growth path – he said on the eve -. The official races are approaching and I expect further steps forward. The strength of the opponent is unquestionable and we have studied it well, but it is from these very difficult friendlies that we can improve faster ». The Friulians had already done well with Atalanta, another Serie A rival, losing only 2-1 in Bergamo. Now they want to repeat themselves. It will also be important to resume the measures of one’s own field, where salvation will have to be built as done in the management of Maurizio Domizzi. For this reason yesterday the team supported the finishing at Teghil.
Then the tactical aspect: forward with 4-4-2, which in some phases becomes 4-2-3-1. It is not excluded that a typical formation is deployed. Absent El Kaouakibi and Sylla, in front of Perisan Biondi, Camporese, Barison and Falasco should play in defense; in the middle of the Kupisz, Misuraca, Magnino (or Pasa) and Cambiaghi (or Zammarini) fields; in front of Tsadjout with Pellegrini. Ciceretti will enter the second half like everyone else. «For us – Paci says of him – he will be an important player, with great technique. We expect him to direct, refine and finalize our offensive phase ». Bologna, for its part, will debut the new signing Marko Arnautovic, former Inter striker, Italy’s opponent in the European Championships. Roberto Soriano is back, while Emilia Medel, Denswil, Skov Olsen and Barrow remain in Emilia. On the bench that Mihajlovic with whom Paci challenged himself «as a footballer – he recalled -: it will be an honor to shake his hand as a colleague now. He is a very good coach ».
Pordenone has announced the jersey numbers, with the players already in Friuli last season who have given continuity to their choices. Among the new ones, El Kaouakibi opted for 2, Mensah on 7, Tsadjout on 9, Ciceretti on 10, Pellegrini on 11, Greco and Onisa respectively on 14 and 15 while Kupisz took on 20. For Cambiaghi the number 28 while Sylla and Perri wanted 45 and 72. –
