TARVISIO. Pordenone breathes a sigh of relief: Patrick Ciurria is fine. The striker, in fact, had come out after a few minutes in the friendly match with Maniago Vajont: he had remedied a bruised ankle and, although optimism filtered, no one could be considered certain that nothing had happened.
The 26-year-old from Sassuolo suffered only one blow: the medical staff, who visited him yesterday in the Tarvisio training camp, instructed him to work as a precaution except for a couple of sessions. Then he can rejoin the group.
Wednesday 21, therefore, the player will resume sweating with his teammates, even if his future is always uncertain. Verona, Brescia and Monza follow him, but Pordenone does not give up: 3 (at least) the millions requested, otherwise the boy remains in neroverde, on the strength of a contract valid until 2024. The company relies on this aspect: no drama if he were to remain Ciurria, indeed, there is the perfect awareness of having a pair of goals of absolute value.
Yes, because if the qualities of the number 13 are known (9 goals and 11 assists last season), the skills of Frank Tsadjout were seen in the match with Maniago, who has everything to become the star of the tournament. Beyond the goals (three) of the former Cittadella striker, physical strength and in particular his attitude have been struck: the 21-year-old from Milan knows that the neroverde opportunity is crucial in the development of his career. With this shirt his friend Pobega and later Diaw exploded.
Speaking of the offensive department: from Monday 19th the new team technician Massimo Paci started working on the ball possession phase. After the test with Maniago he had declared that, starting this week, the field would be “open”, that is, it would be played on wider spaces to be able to try situations of attack on the opponent’s goal. On the other hand, the championship starts in a month and we need to insert new concepts.
In the meantime, on the horizon, a new friendly match, again in the Tarvisio retreat: Sunday’s opponent will be Nova Gorica, just relegated to Slovenian Serie B. Information will be available shortly to access the event. –
