The players are on the side of the coach, the squad is not up to par, we have to hope for the January transfer market. It seems to relive the ’14 -’15 season when not even Foschi raised a team that had started badly
PORDENONE. Forward with Massimo Rastelli. The president of Pordenone Mauro Lovisa has decided not to make another revolution. Despite the knockout with Vicenza, and the consequent last place in Serie B, the club’s main shareholder has renewed his confidence in the coach. The players also supported him, arguing that he has little responsibility for this moment.
It is clear that if the situation does not improve, we could intervene, after all the former Cagliari has won only one point in five games. However, the most evident limits are not attributable to the team, which has many shortcomings and is in full crisis.
Rastelli entered the scene after the second day when he replaced Massimo Paci, sacked after two days and as many defeats. Not even he, after a month of work, was able to make a change. He picked up the green lizards in the last place and stayed there.
If after seven races and two technicians the tally is only one point, it is a consequence to argue that a weak formation has been set up. The match with Vicenza – the team on the eve of the rear end – showed all the difficulties.
After reaching 2-2 and having reopened the match, despite the inertia was in their favor, Pordenone melted, leaving the field to the Venetians able to score first the 3-2 (albeit with a generous penalty) and then the 4-2. A blow that has left and will leave dross in all respects.
If not this, what is the most suitable meeting to start over? It seems to relive the 2014-2015 season, the first in Lega Pro, when not even Luciano Foschi managed to raise an eleven bad start with Lamberto Zauli on the bench. At the umpteenth consecutive knockout, the Emilian coach was sacked and Fabio Rossitto was recalled.
The moment of difficulty is also given by the management of some players. The Davis Mensah case is emblematic. The former Triestina was the first signing of the season, having already been hired last February. After a decent start, for three races in a row he was sent to the stands for technical choice. After the friendly against Fiume / Bannia, in which he had entered well in the second half, he was recalled to arms.
He was put on the field in the second half of the match with Vicenza, he was the best and was then praised by the president at the end of the match. And it is not to be excluded that in the next match, scheduled with Ternana in the second half, he will start as a starter.
His case is not the only one. Karlo Butic’s contract had been renewed before the season but he was confined to the stands for many games. Youssouph Sylla was loaned to Siena on loan before the championship. Only for bureaucratic reasons related to his membership has he returned to the base and has now entered the rotations.
Certainly Rastelli will have to work hard to win at least the first victory. On the horizon – Saturday 16 – there is Ternana at home, then leaders Pisa at the Garibaldi Arena on Saturday 23. We need to shake up the ranking and try to get back in the running in January, when the market reopens.
